Message: [QUOTE="uconntoatl, post: 3987868, member: 6672"] Staking vs lending. You can lend your crypto out and get yield on this, aka the Celsius wallet 14% a year on Synthetix and 10% on Matic (Polygon)./Aave/yearn.finance When you stake your coin you are also being incentivized to do so, but you are staking it back onto the blockchain network your coin supports. See Proof of work vs proof of stake. Proof of work is when different miners get rewarded (people who've set up their computer to verify transactions) vs proof of stake, which means the more coins you have staked, the more return you will get, and your coins that are staked are used by the blockchain network to verify transactions.
