What is Bitbuy Staking?

Bitbuy Staking allows its users to leverage their crypto balances to earn crypto rewards through on-chain staking. Crypto assets associated with proof-of-stake blockchains may be bonded to the protocol to help validate transactions and secure the network in exchange for receiving additional crypto assets as a reward. Bitbuy pays earned rewards weekly calculated from the protocol reward rate which is variable and different for each network.
