Crypto staking is the process of locking up your crypto holdings, in exchange for rewards. When you Stake your HNT to a Validator, you become an Investor in the Helium blockchain. All rewards you earn are immediately liquid and can be transferred or sold at will. There is no minimum or maximum term for how long you stake for, however, the 10,000 HNT stake itself does not become liquid until ~86 days (125,000 blocks on the chain) after you un-stake your validator.
Validator earnings are impacted directly by several factors, such as hardware performance, Internet connectivity, and most importantly, its uptime and ability to keep up to the tip of the chain. This is not a plug and play solution. It requires constant care and feeding, to ensure that your Validator is always online and earning rewards. This is what we do best.
