How Staking Works on the Staking dApp V2, and How You Can be a Part of it?

Crypto staking is an emerging trend in the blockchain ecosystem as it incentivizes users to liquify their assets for rewards. The underlying protocol, in turn, can use these tokens to buy back more native tokens and help in development and growth of the ecosystem. Staking helps create a reward mechanism for participants willing to hold their assets for a certain amount of time. 

How does Staking work?

Staking is a process in which users can lock up their digital assets such as ERC-20 tokens for a minimum amount of time to earn interest. Platforms such as PhoenixDAO offer a higher APR of upto 20% as seen in the Staking dApp v1, that can help token holders make great profit out of their existing crypto assets. 

When staking, the tokens get locked for a certain amount of time. However, few platforms such as PhoenixDAO allow users to unstake their tokens by burning a certain amount of tokens. To understand the concept better, think it of as a traditional banking service where users deposit cash to earn rewards in a fixed deposit. Similarly, if they choose to withdraw the cash before the locking period ends, they have to pay a certain amount. Staking works in a similar fashion but uses better functionalities and are more rewarding.
