Developers need to learn from Binance CEO and BNB, they introduce APY and APR and the exchange / project is still functioning, I know that many staking protocol are build on scams/Ponzi scheme but those that are not scam are making mistake, here is what I learnt from Binance
1. They use time limit offers on their staking, meaning the staking won't run forever unlike some other projects, staking is capable of ruining a project.
2. They create spot for some period of time, e.g 100 people can stake withing the time frame of 1 month to 3 months. Binance do this a lot.
This is what real staking should look like to keep your project running without hurting the project, most especially new crypto projects.
The CEO of Binance is a wise man and I think many other crypto CEO should learn from him. He has a strategy that had been working for him since the last hack attempt on the company. Binance was able to program there staking in a way that is suitable for every investors no matter how much you are staking or the kind of coins or tokens you are staking. Staking is another way to earn bonus when you are not using your coin for anything and it can be very rewarding if the fund is huge. I had made some staking on Binance and I had make some few dollars from it since the crypto market is still dipping.
But leaving a large amount of money on centralized exchanges is quite risky, although the profit from staking is not so bad during this bear season. So far, Binance is safe after a bunch of Fuds targeting them, but we also need to be careful. Anything can happen, even major exchanges like Binance are no exception.
After all, the use of CEX will never stop, it provides us with many services that can make us profitable even during the bearseason, which no other DEX can do.
