# Staking

A staking platform is a system that allows users to earn a different token by staking a specific cryptocurrency. This system operates by users staking their main tokens and receiving a different token as a reward. It can help increase liquidity and visibility for tokens with low trading volumes. Generally, staking platforms are used to provide liquidity between different token pairs and to encourage user participation.
