Staking is a process in which a user locks up a certain amount of cryptocurrency for a set period of time to help support the operation of a blockchain. In return, users can earn more cryptocurrency! Lido enables users to stake Ethereum cryptocurrency and earn these staking rewards, even if they do not have the technical knowledge or resources to run a validator node themselves.
