Staking is when you lock up your crypto to help run a blockchain network.

This “stake” acts as a security deposit: help the network run smoothly and your deposit is returned to you with some interest as a reward. Engage in bad behavior, however, and you’ll be penalized–your stake will be “slashed”.

Blockchain networks that make use of staking are called Proof of Stake blockchains.
