#SoftStaking is a flexible way to earn rewards for holding your cryptocurrencies, without the need for lock-ups. Unlike hard staking, your assets remain available for trading or instant withdrawals while you generate interest.

This reflects why many users appreciate this modality: no commitments, continuous passive income, and immediate access to capital.

However, it is not without risks. There are no penalties for slashing, but the rate is lower, and centralized platforms can change conditions or suspend the program. Additionally, as Coinbase points out, rewards are not guaranteed and depend on the actual performance of the protocol.
