What is staking?
Staking is the process of participating in a proof-of-stake (PoS) or a delegated proof-of-stake (dPoS) blockchain network by holding and "staking" a cryptocurrency in a wallet to support the operations of the network. These operations can include validating transactions, maintaining the network's security, and updating the blockchain. Participants are chosen to create new blocks and verify transactions based on the number of coins they are willing to "stake" or lock up as collateral. In return for staking their coins, participants may receive staking yield, which can be likened to interest in a traditional banking setup. Staking offers a way to earn passive income from holding cryptocurrency, and it's a key feature of many modern blockchain networks.
What is TRON?
TRON is a blockchain-based, decentralized protocol project with an internal TRX coin that aims to create a worldwide, free content entertainment system with distributed storage technology, allowing easy and cost-effective sharing of digital content. It was founded by Justin Sun in 2017.
TRON has a high throughput due to its features such as three-layer architecture (comprising storage, core, and application layers), improved proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, and super representative (SR) mechanism. One of the main uses of the TRX coin is for the creation and interaction with decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts on the TRON network. TRON also supports the creation and distribution of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). In addition, TRON can be staked via Trust Wallet to earn staking yield, thereby incentivizing participation in the network.
