What is the injective (INJ)?
Injective is the native cryptocurrency of Injective Protocol, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built on the Cosmos blockchain. It is designed to facilitate decentralized trading, including derivatives, futures and spot markets, without the need for a centralized exchange. INJ plays multiple roles in the ecosystem, including governance, staking, and collateralization for exchanges. Users can also participate in decentralized governance by voting on proposals that shape the future of the protocol. INJ aims to create a more efficient, scalable and permissionless financial system.
Consult our What is the Injective (INJ)? article to learn more about the protocol.
What is crypto staking?
Crypto staking allows holders of certain cryptocurrencies to earn a reward in exchange for their contribution to securing the blockchain network. Staking uses a series of incentives and penalties to ensure that proof-of-stake based blockchain networks operate reliably.
To learn more about staking, see our What is crypto staking? article.
What is bond staking?
Linked staking is a way for you to earn even higher rewards on the crypto you hold. While you still have the ability to stake and withdraw your stake in moments with flexible staking on Kraken, linked staking allows you to earn higher rewards by locking up your crypto for a short period of time.
