Asset staking involves locking up cryptocurrency holdings to support the operations of a proof-of-stake blockchain network. Participants commit their digital assets to validate transactions and secure the network, receiving rewards in return. This mechanism incentivizes network integrity and distributes new tokens to stakers. It represents a fundamental component of many modern blockchain consensus protocols.
