Beyond insightful articles, Gate Learn also presents a brand-new course: "What is Staking", helping you expand your blockchain knowledge.

Staking is a common consensus mechanism in blockchain networks, where users lock up a certain amount of tokens to support network security and operations while earning rewards. Different blockchains implement various staking models, such as Proof of Stake (PoS) and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), each with its own incentives and risks.

Understanding the principles, rewards, and risks of staking will help you gain deeper insights into how the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem functions.
