By staking your tokens, you actively support the network by allocating resources to it and contribute to the stability and safety of the network. In return for your support, you earn rewards!

The biggest risk of staking is that crypto prices are volatile and can drop quickly. A large price drop could outweigh any rewards you earned on your tokens. Because of the unbonding period it is not possible to sell your assets immediately.
