What is staking ?
Staking is the process of holding a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrency in a wallet to support the operation of a blockchain network associated with this currency. The ‘staker’ runs the protocol on his own server and validates transactions in the network. For this activity he earns a reward which is proportional to the amount of the assets locked as a stake. (Read more about staking here.)
Usually, in order to participate in the staking process and support operations of a blockchain network you need money and hardware. To run a masternode on the Dash network, one needs to purchase and stake at least 1.000 Dash (currently approximately 72’140 CHF) and have the appropriate hardware, running the protocol 24/7.
The key advantages for participating in staking through the SMART VALOR platform are these:
- - High yield: We pass up to 100% of all rewards (average annual return rate of 6.9%) we generate through running a masternode back to you.
-
-
- No hassle: No need to buy hardware, install masternode and maintain the protocol.
