In the past, I always thought that holding cryptocurrency meant just "waiting for it to rise"; if it didn't rise, I would just lie flat. It wasn't until I came across #SoftStaking that I realized, indeed, cryptocurrencies can "make money just by holding them".
📌 What is Soft Staking? In simple terms, it means you store your crypto assets (like $ATOM , $DOT , $SOL, etc.) on a supported platform without needing to lock them up or do any operations. The platform will automatically distribute interest to you daily based on the amount you hold. This interest is like "easy earning," and before you know it, your account balance increases.
🔧 How to activate it? Most mainstream exchanges (like Gate, Binance, OKX) have integrated the Soft Staking feature. Some platforms have it enabled by default, while others allow you to join with one click. You just need to transfer your coins into your spot account, and the system will automatically detect and start calculating interest, saving you the trouble of clicking to confirm, which is perfect for someone lazy like me.
🪙 My real experience: I initially tried putting some idle $ATOM in, and the next day I saw a little profit in my account. Although the amount wasn't large, when you see money grow on its own, your mindset changes—it reminds you that crypto assets can earn interest like bank deposits, but they are more flexible and offer higher annualized returns.
🌟 I’ve summarized three advantages of Soft Staking: 1. High flexibility: You can deposit and withdraw at any time, which completely doesn't affect trading operations, unlike traditional Staking that locks you in for 90 days. 2. Stable returns: Although the annualized returns are not as high as high-risk DeFi, it is stable, and you don't have to worry about liquidity issues. 3. Completely no threshold: Even if you only hold a small amount, you can participate without having to worry about gas fees.
💡 My current strategy is to enable Soft Staking for all the coins that I don't plan to trade in the short term. Since I have to hold them anyway, I might as well let them earn some interest for me daily, providing an extra source of passive income and making me feel more secure.
Conclusion: Stop letting your coins lie idle; let them "work" for you. #SoftStaking is the entry point for "easy earnings," truly suitable for us ordinary people who don’t understand complicated strategies and don’t want to miss out on the bull market dividends.
