    Why Stake? Choosing between Crypto Mining and Crypto Staking

    Posted: 01 Oct 2019 11:35 PM PDT

    The two most significant guarantees of blockchain are decentralization and immutable recording. It's a conveyed database where the computers on the system, called nodes, secure and maintain in a shared manner. All nodes are complete records. The system can't be destroyed by taking out any central server. Block records are linked via a protocol program, and no current block can be deleted or modified. Including another block is the best way to update blockchain, and any node can do so without any central authority. With this, the concept of blockchain mining and staking emerge as the best consensus algorithms for cryptocurrency platforms.

    Crypto mining has the Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism. Transactions on the blockchain have to be validated to enter the public ledger, and known that validating a node as the 'miner'. All miners in the network use their computer power to solve sophisticated algorithms which then produce a block that chains to the block before. After that, the transaction is validated and the miner that succeeded in solving the cryptographic puzzle of the block will get the reward of newly-minted coin and network transaction fees. Crypto staking, as discussed in this article, is the process by which an investor commits their tokens to the service of a blockchain in exchange for rewards in the form of new tokens. Staking rewards are a byproduct of a consensus algorithm used in certain cryptocurrencies called proof-of-stake.

    But why choose staking? Because mining requires high computational power which is very energy-intensive and leads to high electricity costs. That's not to say the initial investment in the mining equipment is also relatively expensive. On the other hand, staking does not require those costs. Instead, an individual needs to stake some amount of coins as collateral for a determined time in a running masternode. However, running a masternode requires minimal collateral. If the amount of coins staked is lower than the collateral, it will no longer be a masternode and will no longer be generating rewards. Another reason is that mining in a Proof-of-Work system has risks of centralization as this activity shifts from community to fewer hands. Staking remains decentralized as the reward distribution is fair according to each staking position. This is in line with the decentralization spirit of a blockchain. It is known to everyone that there's an emerging market for staking, which is why thousands of cryptocurrency projects added staking as an integral part of there projects. This will be helpful for any cryptocurrency enthusiast looking to earn more in the market.
