Staking crypto is a powerful, low-risk strategy to generate steady returns by securely holding your digital assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">What is Staking?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Staking is the process of locking up cryptocurrency tokens to support the security and operations of a blockchain network. By staking tokens, you participate in validating transactions and maintaining network integrity. This participation is vital for Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains like Ontology, where the security and consensus are maintained through stakers rather than miners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">In exchange for staking your crypto assets, you earn rewards, typically in the form of additional tokens, which serves as an incentive to continue supporting the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Ontology Staking: Secure, Rewarding, and Accessible<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Ontology is a decentralized blockchain focused on digital identity, data security, and trusted collaboration. Staking ONT tokens is crucial to the network\u2019s stability and security. Ontology operates on a unique dual-token model featuring two tokens: ONT and ONG.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">The Two-Token Model:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\">ONT (Ontology Token):<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"> Used primarily for staking and governance purposes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\">ONG (Ontology Gas):<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"> Generated from staking ONT and used to pay transaction fees, smart contract execution, and other network interactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Benefits of Staking ONT:<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\">Regular Rewards:<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"> Consistently earn ONG tokens as rewards for staking ONT.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\">Network Contribution:<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"> Directly support the decentralization and security of Ontology.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\">Enhanced Security:<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"> Stake securely through the official ONTO Wallet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">How to Stake ONT via ONTO Wallet<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Step-by-Step Guide:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\">For a comprehensive walkthrough, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/node-docs.ont.io\/guides\/ontology-node-staking-on-onto\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: rgb(17, 85, 204);\">official ONTO Wallet staking guide<\/span><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Step 1: Set Up ONTO Wallet<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onto.app\/en\/download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: rgb(17, 85, 204);\">Download ONTO Wallet<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.onto.app\/guides\/app-basics\/how-to-register-an-account-on-onto-wallet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: rgb(17, 85, 204);\">Create a Wallet<\/span><\/a>:<span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\"> Generate a new wallet or securely import an existing one using your private keys or recovery phrases.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Step 2: Deposit ONT and ONG<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Transfer ONT tokens into your ONTO Wallet from exchanges or other wallets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start; line-height: 1.15;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;\">Ensure you have a small amount of ONG in your wallet to pay for transaction (gas) fees.
