Since the Shanghai upgrade, staked ETH surged 91%, suggesting a growing interest in staking despite inherent risks like price volatility and security concerns.
Staking, derived from 'proof-of-stake', is where users validate transactions by staking their crypto, receiving rewards while helping secure the blockchain.
Becoming a validator can yield passive income, but it requires consistent online presence and awareness of penalties for downtime, impacting profitability.
Users not wanting to validate can join staking pools, earning rewards without the burden of maintaining constant online availability.
