What is staking?
Staking (from English stake – “share, stake”) is a way to earn passive income on cryptocurrency. Simply put, you temporarily “freeze” (lock) your digital coins for a certain period, and in return receive rewards in the form of new coins. In essence, staking is somewhat similar to a bank deposit: you deposit money in a bank, the bank uses it (for example, issues loans), and you earn interest. Only in staking, the role of the bank is performed by the blockchain network, and instead of ordinary money you temporarily provide your crypto coins. The reward also comes not in fiat money, but in the same cryptocurrency.
The idea of staking is simple: if you already own some cryptocurrency, you can additionally earn by supporting the operation of its network. This earning method is available to almost any crypto asset holder and does not require active trading or powerful computers.
Why is crypto staking needed?
Staking has several goals and benefits for different participants in the crypto ecosystem:
- For the blockchain network: staking is necessary to maintain stable operation and security of decentralized PoS networks. By rewarding users for locking coins, the network attracts a sufficient number of validators and delegators who confirm transactions and protect the blockchain from attacks.
- For investors and holders: staking makes it possible to receive passive income from existing coins. Instead of simply storing cryptocurrency in a wallet in hopes of price growth, you can stake it and receive regular payouts. This way, coins “work” and generate profit.
In other words, staking benefits both sides: the network receives the necessary support, and you receive income and participation in the project’s development.
Staking TRON (TRX) cryptocurrency
The most attractive cryptocurrency for staking in 2026 is TRON (TRX). The popularity of TRX staking is reflected in its higher yield, which differs significantly from the yield of other cryptocurrencies.
The yield from TRX staking consists of 2 parts:
- Delegating votes to a Super Representative (1 of 27 TRON validators): By staking TRX, your address receives TRON Power. It is credited 1:1 and can be delegated to a Super Representative (SR) or a Super Representative candidate. The list of SRs and SR candidates can be found in the TRON explorer.
- Selling resources to other users: By staking TRX, an address receives resources (Energy or Bandwidth) that are used to pay for transactions. In other words, by freezing TRX you get additional resources that can be sold to other users and generate profit.
Voting rewards average from 3 to 3.5% per year, and rewards from selling energy can reach 15-20%. In January 2026, FeeSaver launched a new product – FeeSaver Staking with a yield of 16% per year. Thus, total yield can reach 19-20%.
FeeSaver Staking is a safe way to stake TRX because it does not require transferring assets or keys.
