🌱 What is Soft Staking?
Soft Staking is a mechanism that allows cryptocurrency holders to earn rewards on their balances without needing to lock or reserve their coins for a long period, as is the case in traditional Hard Staking.
Simply put:
You keep your coins in your wallet and receive daily or weekly profits without losing the freedom to use or withdraw them at any time.
