Staking allows QBM holders to lock their coins in a smart contract and earn
passive rewards over time. Unlike traditional Proof-of-Stake, QBM will implement a
hybrid model that complements CPU mining while providing additional incentives
for long-term holders.
By staking your QBM, you contribute to network security, liquidity stability, and governance—earning
rewards proportional to your stake and lock duration.
Passive Income: Earn rewards without active mining
Flexible Terms: Choose lock periods from 30 days to 1 year
No Hardware Required: Stake from any device with a wallet
Compound Rewards: Automatically reinvest earnings
Governance Rights: Vote on protocol upgrades and proposals
