Staking is a really popular method in this space for people to earn some extra cash with their tokens. Staking requires people to delegate their tokens to a smart contract for a small period of time, and they are rewarded for this by receiving additional tokens.
If you are staking make sure to use an audited decentralized application, or DApp otherwise you are at risk of interacting with a compromised smart contract. It goes without saying that if you have or are delegating your tokens to a compromised smart contract it puts you in a very precarious situation.
Two great staking platforms that I really like to use and know are audited are
Cosmostation and
pStake. If you guys have another staking platform you like using make sure to check if it's audited. You can usually find a project’s audit report on an audit firm's site
like this, or somewhere on the project's github.
