#Soft staking allows you to use your staked coins for other purposes. Also, tokens can be withdrawn anytime, which is not the case with the traditional staking process.

Staking is usually done directly through wallets or cryptocurrency exchanges. For example, if you are staking Ether, you need at least 35 ETH in your wallet to be locked on the network. Alternatively, you can join a staking pool through a cryptocurrency exchange. This is useful when blockchains like Ethereum require a large number of coins to stake directly.
