Non-Tradable Staking

Definition

Non-Tradable Staking refers to the process of locking up digital assets to support a blockchain network, where the staked assets themselves cannot be freely exchanged or transferred during the staking period. This mechanism secures the network and allows participants to earn rewards, but without the immediate liquidity of tradable assets. The primary purpose is to ensure network integrity and deter malicious behavior by making staked capital illiquid. It contrasts with liquid staking solutions where staked assets are represented by tradable derivatives.
