🔒 PIVX Staking Explained

💡 What is Staking?

Staking means locking your coins to support the network, secure transactions, and earn rewards over time. In return for your contribution, you receive staking rewards in the form of newly created PIVX

There are 2 types of staking: 🔥 Hot Staking and ❄️ Cold Staking.

Hot Staking 🔥: Your wallet must stay online and unlocked to earn rewards.
Cold Staking ❄️ (Recommended): The easiest and safest way for long-term holders. You can delegate your coins with just a few clicks using MyPIVXWallet. This way, your wallet does not need to stay online, while still earning rewards.

⚙️ Requirements for 🔥 HOT Staking

At least 1 PIVX in your wallet (more coins = higher probability to earn rewards).
Your wallet must be unlocked and online 24/7 (unless cold staking).
A stable internet connection is required.
You should regularly update your wallet software.
