STAKING

Everyone and their grandmother is looking for the next 1000x token to become a millionaire from a $100 investment, but the odds of that is less than winning on the actual lottery. Sure it’s possible to win big, but why risk everything in the process?
If you don’t want the high risk/high reward that most crypto tokens offer, there are other ways to earn money using crypto tokens. One of the more popular ways, even though slower than traditional spot-trading, is through Staking a.k.a SimpleEarn.
Staking and earning are both used interchangeably throughout this article as are coin and token. Binance terminology uses SimpleEarn, SOL/ETF Staking, AlphaEarn, Subscribe and Redeem.
Staking is almost like the reverse of a traditional bank loan. Instead of you taking out a loan from the bank and paying mortgage fees to the bank, it is you who lend your money to the bank and they pay you interest for doing so. That’s the general idea in a nutshell.
Staking tokens means that you are the validator and your staked tokens help validate transactions and secure the blockchain network. You earn rewards from the network (or DEX i.e Binance) for using your tokens while taking a small mitigated risk for doing so.
Binance offers solid staking programs like SimpleEarn with fixed or flexible APR% (Annual Percentage Rate), so you can choose whatever suits your needs the best.
Just recently, they also opened up the AlphaEarn -hub for its users, which lets you provide liquidity for the Alpha -token liquidity pools and earns you annual interest as well as AlphaPoints (see AlphaEvents for more details) which can boost token allocation and also be converted into Airdrops.
AlphaEarn and SimpleEarn are two separate Binance programs, make sure to familiarize yourself with them before investing.
Sure, it’s not exciting to gain a cumulative earning of e.g 0.3% or even 1% next to your tokens but there are pros and cons to everything. Staking tokens takes away (most) stress and panic that often occurs during peak trading moments in fast moving markets (if you ever limit sold Bitcoin on 1 minute timeframe, you know the pain) so now you can finally set aside your computer or phone and head outside to play with your kids or your dog instead.
Staked tokens are still susceptible to the natural flow of the market and the residing blockchain. Market shifts and security flaws are always present.
For instance $BTC usually has a 0.25% flexible APR on Binance and sure, if you have Bitcoins and plan to HODL (hold) them for a long time, then 0.25% is not bad, and since you are not selling them yet, you have more to gain than what you would lose, especially if the market is stuck between support and resistance.
It is a sound advice to keep an eye on your investments with regular intervals to prevent sudden loss of assets. Remember to set notifications for your staked token thresholds - just in case.
Here are 10 tips to get you started with the not so exciting, but often profitable, way of earning money in your sleep:
1) Staking flexible APR. You may be in luck and find a 30% APR on a token but do be beware that this APR can (and will) fluctuate up and down regularly, even after you Subscribe your token when it was at 30%. Hence the term flexible.
2) Staking fixed APR effectively ‘locks’ your tokens for the agreed upon time e.g 30-days. Sometimes redeeming your tokens before the end of the term may reset your accrued earnings, so be sure to read the agreement and be aware of it, before you Redeem them.
3) Often overlooked is the fact that most staking actually ‘locks’ your tokens into the pool, and that also means that you cannot set a STOP-LOSS/LIMIT-order, or SELL/CONVERT, while your tokens are staked. In order to sell your tokens you need to Un-stake/Redeem them first.
Note: When entering staking on SimpleEarn, your assets will no longer be visible in your spot-wallet but instead appear visible under the ‘Earn’- tab.
4) Look at volatility and trading volumes, because you don’t really want tokens with high volatility and fast movements, you want tokens that are slow and have a steady growth without large flux.
5) If you stake in AlphaEarn remember that ALL Alpha stakes have higher volatility than older established tokens. Also be aware that malicious actors are more prominent around brand new tokens. Be aware of
6) Decentralized Financing (DeFi) is popular when staking because of their assumed reliability and pool of real-world investors who provide backing. There are no guarantees, just increased reliability. Many DeFi’s also offer in-house staking, so please make sure that you are 100% sure that you are looking at the official website before proceeding.
7) Even though staking is a more reliable way of earning money, there is ALWAYS risk involved. Do your own research before investing and plan in advance for potential market dips. In contrast to spot-trading, staking can cause significant loss of profit if you panic, so please do remember that you are investing for the future; not for today.
8) There are many tools like “Staking Rewards Calculators” online but be careful of scams and malicious software. If you stick with Binance they offer a relatively easy UI (User Interface) and decent explanation for planned earnings, so make the most of it.
9) In order to increase liquidity pools for some tokens, Binance will often promote campaigns for limited times on random tokens like $BNB , $SOL or $LAYER etc. so keep an eye out for them as they can be quite lucrative and significantly increase your earnings. Some offers include staking $X and you earn $Y as a reward. Definitely worth checking out.
10) You can activate ‘automatic staking’ from your spot-wallet. Enabling this option is really useful, especially if you are staking $BNB as it transfers your tokens daily without any additional settings, into your already staked coins. Combine this with the option to turn ‘dust*’ into $BNB and you have a great setup for earning more money.
* ‘Dust’ is what Binance calls tokens that are left after trade conversions with a value <$1 and if you have Binance PRO enabled, you can from your spot-wallet convert all the ‘dust’ into $BNB tokens in one go rather than having to click and convert each one manually.
Best wishes for your future staking journey and remember the story about THE RABBIT & THE TURTLE when things get tough.
(As always, this is not financial advice, just me sharing insights. Invest on your own accord, do your own research and stay smart).

今天要说的 $WCT，其实就是你一直在用、却可能还没真正了解的 Web3 基建项目 —— @WalletConnect 的原生代币。

你扫二维码登录 Uniswap，交易 NFT、参与链游、用 DeFi 工具，只要出现那个熟悉的蓝色小图标，基本都是 WalletConnect 在提供连接能力。

它不做钱包、不做 DApp，但却是连接两者之间最关键的“桥梁”。从2018年上线以来，它已经跑了整整7年，连接了超过 2.75 亿次会话，服务 4500万+ 独立钱包用户，支持 6万多个应用，几乎囊括整个链上生态。

最重要的是，它不是靠“画饼”活下来的，而是真的被用起来了：

~支持 50+ 公链，包括 ETH、Solana、Cosmos
~已接入 MetaMask、Trust Wallet、OKX Wallet 等 600+ 钱包
~2024年3月连接数峰值突破 18亿次，月活钱包达 390万

可以说，WalletConnect 就是 Web3 世界里那个你“看不见但离不开”的管道，而 $WCT，就是为这根管道注入激励机制的原力引擎。

🔁 转折点：Solana 集成 + 手机端发力

2024年5月，WalletConnect 宣布 WCT 正式接入 Solana，跨链由 Wormhole 提供支持，流动性由 Jupiter 承载。仅仅一周后，Solana Mobile 官方宣布纳入 500万 WCT 的空投申领。

这不仅打通了链之间的连接，也第一次从“浏览器”跳到了“硬件手机”层。这意味着 WCT 有机会像 Apple Pay 一样成为链上交互的底层入口。

🔒 质押参与，不止是买币

WCT 不只是能买的资产，更是一个你可以参与运行的网络。
你现在就可以前往官方平台进行质押：
👉 https://stake.walletconnect.network/
参与步骤很简单：
1️⃣ 打开质押页面，连接钱包
2️⃣ 输入质押数量，签名确认
3️⃣ 成为 Relay 网络的节点支持者
4️⃣ 获得持续收益 + 拥有治理权

质押 WCT，相当于你成为这条链上“高速公路”的早期股东。你每天扫码用的，是别人搭的路，但现在你也可以变成“收过路费”的人。

📚 想深入了解 WalletConnect 的发展历程、技术设计、信任逻辑？

推荐阅读这份官方背景文档（很短但信息量大）：
👉 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ldZyyp9pkWZzYgOMzKwjih0eRoCesamrsev6E8teOi4/edit

🧠 写在最后：

很多人觉得 Web3 缺爆款，其实是缺“真有用”的基建。$WCT 没有花哨的口号，没有Meme情绪，却已经服务了整个链上的90%以上主流钱包和应用。

未来链越来越多，钱包越来越多，连接需求只会更强。而 WCT 既掌握“流量入口”，又绑定“支付分配”，这样的角色，一旦发力，很难被替代。
别再等它翻倍后才说“我早就看好”。
现在就是最好的了解窗口。

📌 ما هو الـ Staking!

🤔 هو ببساطة عملية قفل كمية معينة من عملتك الرقمية (زي ETH أو ADA أو SOL) داخل شبكة بلوكشين تعتمد آلية إثبات الحصة – Proof of Stake (PoS). مقابل هذا القفل، الشبكة تكافئك بجزء من الرسوم أو عملات جديدة، كنوع من الأرباح.

بس مش مجرد "تحويشة رقمية"! 🤓 staking يعني إنك عم تلعب دور فعّال بأمان الشبكة والتحقّق من المعاملات.

❗️ كيف بيصير:

🤔 تختار شبكة تدعم PoS (زي Ethereum أو Cardano).

🤔 تستخدم محفظة تدعم الستيكينغ.

🤔 تضع العملة لفترة معينة (فترة القفل تختلف حسب الشبكة).

🤔 تحصل على مكافآت بشكل دوري – عادة بنسبة مئوية سنوية APR (مثلاً 5%-10%).

🔴 مزاياه:

✅ دخل سلبي من دون الحاجة للمتاجرة اليومية.

✅ أمان أقوى للشبكة.

✅ استهلاك طاقة أقل بكثير مقارنة بالتعدين التقليدي.

❤️‍🔥 مخاطره:

✅ قفل الأصول: ممكن ما تقدر تسحبها فوراً.

✅ تقلبات السوق: أرباحك ممكن تقل إذا قيمة العملة انخفضت.

✅ مخاطر فنية: إذا كنت تستخدم طرف ثالث (كمنصّة)، ممكن تتعرض لعطل أو اختراق.

🤔 أنواع الستيكينغ:

🤔 فردي Staking: تشغّل عُقدة بنفسك (يتطلب خبرة وأجهزة).

🤔 عبر تجمع Staking: تنضم لمجموعة من المستخدمين (أبسط وأسهل).

🤔 و عبر المنصات Staking: مثل Binance أو Coinbase، يقدّمونها كخدمة جاهزة.
