Maximising Gains: How Often to Claim Staking Rewards Staking is an easy way to earn passive income with crypto, but your reward-claiming strategy affects returns. Frequent claims may incur high fees, while infrequent claims could miss compounding opportunities. Optimize your claim schedule to maximize gains. You stake crypto by locking your assets to help validate transactions and secure a network, typically in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) systems. In return, you earn staking rewards, similar to interest or dividends. The amount you earn depends on how much crypto you stake, the staking duration, and the network's overall staking rate. Rewards are usually paid in the network's native token, like Solana (SOL) for staking Solana. Learn more about it on @solostakers website

Staking News Update 1. Hyperliquid Stake Marketplace (HSM) Middleware to unlock HIP-3 market creation & yield sharing @HyperliquidX 's HIP-3 allows for large stakers to provision customized perpetual markets in return for sharing fees with the platform. Despite being an incredibly innovative proposition, the union of {giga-whales} and {technically sophisticated actors} is tiny. HSM fills this gap by providing secure middleware for builders to provision markets and for stakers to earn extra yield (and grow the Hyperliquid flywheel). 2.

Staking News Round up 1. SEC says crypto staking on proof-of-stake networks does not involve securities. The SEC's statement means crypto staking on proof-of-stake networks, like locking up Ethereum to earn rewards, likely isn't a security, so it faces fewer regulations. This could make staking easier, encouraging innovation, as the crypto industry has pushed for clarity. However, critics argue it conflicts with court rulings that labeled some staking as securities, potentially leaving investors unprotected without required disclosures. The statement excludes liquid staking, adding uncertainty. Stay cautious, as states like California challenge staking programs, and future rules may change. Check the SEC's site for more. 2.

What Is Liquid Looping? Ever seen Groundhog Day or Edge of Tomorrow, where the characters repeat events and get stronger each time? In crypto staking, you can do something similar repeatedly stake rewards to compound gains. It’s called liquid looping. DeFi Looping is a strategy from decentralized finance where you repeatedly borrow against crypto to boost yield farming. Popularized in 2020 on platforms like Compound, it involves depositing ETH as collateral, borrowing stablecoins like DAI to buy more ETH, and repeating the cycle to grow ETH holdings and earn rewards. Liquid looping gained traction with the rise of liquid staking apps like Lido Finance, which holds $23B in total value locked. In liquid staking, users deposit crypto with a platform that stakes the assets for network validation, issuing liquid staking tokens (LSTs) in return. These LSTs can then be reused across DeFi for additional yield. Unlike traditional DeFi looping, which relies on native tokens (e.g., ETH, SOL) and lending platforms, liquid looping uses LSTs as collateral and integrates staking platforms to boost returns.

Staking is a top passive income strategy in crypto, with investors earning yield on assets like Solana and Ethereum. Now, restaking offers a new layer of rewards, originally for Ethereum, it's now on @solana too, letting stakers boost returns while backing the next wave of decentralized apps. Solana and Network Staking Overview Solana has gained popularity for its speed, low fees, and scalability, making it a go-to network for traders, especially in the memecoin space. Its token price surged between 2023 and 2025, drawing strong investor interest. Solana uses Delegated Proof of Stake, allowing holders to earn rewards by delegating SOL to validators. With an attractive 8% APY and a short 2-day unbonding period, over $57.7 billion in SOL has been staked. How Solana Restaking Works with Jito Launched in August 2024, @jito Network popularized restaking on Solana. It lets users redeploy staked assets to secure ecosystem services. Here's the process: Users deposit JitoSol (Jito’s liquid staking token) into a restaking Vault. The protocol issues a Vault Receipt Token (VRT)—e.g., fragSOL—representing the restaked position. Validators stake fragSOL to support the Node Consensus Network (NCN). NCN members use these assets to secure their projects and pay rewards to restakers. Users continue earning staking rewards and can use their VRT in DeFi for extra yield. If you want to learn more checkout @solostakers website for more information
