# Staking
Staking is a convenient way to earn cryptocurrency. In contrast to mining, staking does not require hardware costs. In contrast to trading, staking does not require time to track market trends.
Staking is similar to a bank deposit: you just invest funds and receive passive interest income. The difference is that the staking revenue normally is much higher, and all operations are anonymous.
Staking terms differ depending on the staking platform and the token to stake.

WAVES staking is a non-direct delegation of WAVES token to take part in block generation and get rewards.
PepeTeam staking is a DeFi product that generates passive income from commissions on PepeTeam swaps. The PepeTeam staking is provided by PepeTeam, a separate platform owned by a third party.
