  Staking is a process in which cryptocurrency holders participate in the validation and security of a blockchain network. By staking their coins, they contribute to the network's consensus mechanism and earn rewards in return. On Kraken, staking is available for certain cryptocurrencies that use proof-of-stake (PoS) or delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus algorithms. Users can delegate their coins to a staking pool or run a staking node themselves to participate in the staking process. The specific staking requirements and rewards vary depending on the cryptocurrency.

It's a way to support the network and earn rewards at the same time. Kraken offers staking services for selected cryptocurrencies, allowing users to easily participate in the staking process.
