Where staking yield comes from
Proof-of-Stake networks pay validators new coins plus fees for securing the chain. Ethereum pays roughly 3–4%, Solana 6–8%, Cardano 2–3%; liquid staking tokens (stETH, jitoSOL) pass most of that through. Yield in coins is not yield in dollars — price moves dominate. Read Step 3 and the Top 7 DeFi list.
Frequently asked questions
Is staking risky?
Slashing on major networks is rare; the real risks are smart-contract bugs in liquid staking and exchange insolvency in custodial staking.
Are rewards taxable?
Usually as income at the time received, then capital gains when sold. See Step 7.
