A staking reward is an incentive or compensation that cryptocurrency holders receive for “staking” or “locking up” their coins to support the network’s operations. Staking is the process of holding and maintaining a certain amount of cryptocurrency in a contract for a fixed period of time. Staking contributes to the security and maintenance of the network.
In a proof-of-stake (PoS) system, stakers can earn staking rewards through transaction fees for validating blocks on the network.
