**Soft Staking** is a feature offered by some cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms that allows users to earn passive income on their crypto holdings without locking up their assets or meeting minimum staking requirements. Here's a breakdown of how it works and its benefits:

### **How Soft Staking Works**

1. **No Lock-Up Period**: Unlike traditional staking, your funds remain liquid, meaning you can trade or withdraw them anytime.

2. **Automatic Rewards**: The platform automatically stakes your eligible coins in the background and distributes rewards (usually daily or weekly).

3. **No Minimums**: Some platforms don’t require a minimum balance to participate, making it accessible to small holders.

### **Benefits of Soft Staking**

✅ **Flexibility** – No need to lock funds; you retain full control.

✅ **Passive Income** – Earn rewards simply by holding supported coins.

✅ **No Technical Setup** – Unlike running a validator node, soft staking is handled by the exchange/platform.

✅ **Lower Risk** – Since your assets aren’t locked, you can react quickly to market changes.
