A staking pool is a collective group of cryptocurrency holders who pool their tokens together to increase their chances of validating blocks and earning rewards in a proof-of-stake (PoS) network. By combining their resources, participants in a staking pool can overcome the minimum staking requirements and share in the rewards earned by the pool. Staking pools provide a more accessible option for smaller investors who may not have enough tokens to stake individually, allowing them to participate in network operations and earn a proportionate share of the rewards.
Staking pools offer several advantages, including reduced variance in rewards and simplified management of staking operations. Since rewards are distributed proportionally based on each participant’s contribution, staking pools provide a more consistent and predictable income stream compared to staking individually. Additionally, staking pools handle the technical aspects of staking, such as running validator nodes and managing security, allowing participants to earn rewards without needing to manage the infrastructure themselves.
