$BNB **BNB Staking** allows Binance Coin (BNB) holders to earn passive income by locking their tokens to support the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network. By staking BNB, users contribute to network security and consensus while receiving rewards in additional BNB.

### **Key Features:**

- **Rewards:** Earn yields (APR varies based on staking duration and platform).

- **Flexibility:** Options like locked staking (fixed terms) or DeFi staking (via platforms like PancakeSwap).

- **Use Cases:** Staked BNB can also be used in Binance Launchpad for new token sales.

### **Where to Stake?**

- **Binance Exchange** (simple, low-risk)

- **Trust Wallet** (non-custodial)

- **DeFi Platforms** (higher yields but more risk)

Staking BNB helps secure the ecosystem while generating returns. Always research risks like slashing or smart contract vulnerabilities.
