# Traditional Staking Campaigns

## What is Staking?

Staking is the process of holding tokens in the cryptocurrency wallet to support the operations of a network.

Participants are rewarded for depositing and holding coins, with constant guaranteed time-based returns. Rewards are calculated based on staking time: the longer you stake, the more you earn.
