Staking is the act of delegating or locking up crypto holdings in exchange for rewards. ADA staking rewards offer a way to earn passive income from holding Cardano. **KLS Staking** Staked KLS gives KLS holders the opportunity to earn yield on their KLS while contributing to the security of the Kulfi protocol and providing liquidity for the KLS token. Staked KLS is redeemable at any time.
