With staking, you earn rewards while supporting blockchain security. You retain full ownership of your crypto and can unstake it at any time.
After you verify your identity and meet eligibility requirements, you can stake your asset from your Coinbase account. Early withdrawal or insufficient balances can affect rewards, and wait times vary by protocol.
Assets must be unstaked before they can be traded or transferred.
