What is “staking” and how can I earn interest on my crypto?

I checked one staking option yesterday and the interest looked tempting like a free money. But something inside me do not trust it fully. I remember the time I locked my funds somewhere and couldn’t access it when I needed it urgently. Staking sounds nice on paper but I still don't trust it. What about you?

Staking is one of the best methods to earn extra rewards from your crypto assets. It is something like fixed deposit bank accounts where you earn interest on your principal amount. By allowing exchanges and wallets to use your assets, they pay you rewards. Staking is of two types, one, fixed, which locks your assets, and another flexible, which can be withdrawn anytime.

Staking is when you lock up your crypto to help support a blockchain network, and in return you earn rewards. I’m not really into it, but for those who invest, it can be a good way to earn extra crypto.
