Staking yield represents the return, typically expressed as an annual percentage rate (APR) or annual percentage yield (APY), earned by users for locking up their cryptocurrency holdings to support a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain network. This yield is generated as a reward for participants who contribute to network security and transaction validation. It is a fundamental economic incentive within PoS consensus mechanisms. The yield can vary based on network conditions and participation rates.
