Before the release of the Gemini Staking platform, users had to natively enter the blockchain in order to stake their tokens and receive rewards for verifying different blockchain networks.
Investor interest sparked by the Merge, according to Gemini VP of Product Layla Amjadi, had a significant role in the company's decision to launch its staking services.
What is cryptocurrency stake?
Validating transactions on a blockchain is done by staking. Users are supposed to lock up a portion of their cryptocurrency holdings as a guarantee of integrity. Any malevolent conduct that could harm the currency as a whole is made less alluring by ensuring that potential bad actors have a stake in the overall chain. On the other hand, with each successful validation, all investors who have staked currency receive incentives, typically in the form of tokens. As a result, staking is one of the most popular ways to use cryptocurrency for passive income.
