edgen Staking

Introduction

Staking EDGEN allows users to earn protocol rewards, participate in LayerEdge's verification economy, and access ecosystem incentives.

LayerEdge supports two staking modes: Tiered Staking for committed participants, and Normal Staking for smaller holders. Both modes are non-custodial and integrated directly into the protocol.
