Top Ten Staking Networks by Value Staked

Staking allows users to earn interest on their cryptocurrency holdings. It is a great source for holders to earn passive income. Over recent times, this trend has increased significantly in the cryptocurrency industry as many major centralized cryptocurrency exchanges have stepped into it especially the world’s top two cryptocurrency exchanges Binance and Coinbase.

Apart from crypto exchanges, there are several blockchain networks where staking takes place. However, some of these networks are very popular in the field of staking in terms of value staked onto them. The Block Research has made a list of top ten staking networks by value staked, in recent research.

In this list, the layer-1 blockchain Polkadot is on the top. It counts for 24.6 percent of the total staked value.
