#SoftStaking
Moreover, soft staking is an exclusively solo activity. Traditional staking can be done either alone (as a validator) or in a pool by combining one’s assets with others’ holdings. Ethereum network, for example, offers a validator role to anyone who stakes at least 32 $ETH. The validator earns a dedicated node on the network that keeps working 24/7 to confirm transactions and unlock new blocks. Validators not only earn the staking rewards offered by the blockchain but also get income in the form of transaction fees. Soft staking does not offer any validator position, mainly because it is mediated and moderated by the exchanges
