What is KSM Staking?

KSM staking involves delegating your Kusama (KSM) tokens to validators on the Kusama network to help secure the blockchain and validate transactions. When you stake your KSM, you’re not just earning rewards. You’re also actively participating in the network’s governance and security. Validators use your staked tokens to validate transactions, propose new blocks, and maintain the network's integrity.

In return, you earn a share of the rewards generated from the network's operations. Importantly, while your KSM tokens are staked, they are locked up, meaning they cannot be used or transferred until you decide to unstake them. Staking KSM through Trust Wallet simplifies this process, offering you a straightforward way to participate in Kusama staking and earn rewards directly from your wallet.
