🔒 WHAT IS BLOCKED STAKING?
Blocked staking is an investment method where you lock your crypto assets for a fixed period of time in exchange for rewards (yields) generally higher than in flexible staking.
🌟 SIMPLE ANALOGY:
«It's like a fixed-term deposit in traditional banking, but with cryptocurrencies»
⚙️ HOW DOES IT WORK STEP BY STEP?
1. CHOICE OF ASSETS AND TERM
· You select the cryptocurrency (ETH, BNB, ADA, DOT, etc.)
· You choose the blocking period (7, 15, 30, 60, 90 days or more)
· You define the amount to stake
2. BLOCKING OF FUNDS
· Your crypto assets are immobilized in the contract
· You cannot withdraw, sell, or transfer them during the term
· They remain your assets, they are just committed
3. REWARD GENERATION
· You start receiving rewards automatically
· Earnings are usually distributed daily
· The APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is fixed during the term
4. END OF THE PERIOD
· At maturity, your capital + rewards are unlocked
· Automatically available in your spot account
· You can: withdraw, renew or reinvest
📊 PRACTICAL EXAMPLE ON BINANCE:
Let's assume you stake 1,000 BNB:
· Term: 30 days
· APY: 5% annual
· Calculation: 1,000 BNB × 5% ÷ 365 days × 30 days
· Approximate gain: 4.10 BNB in 30 days
🎯 ADVANTAGES OF BLOCKED STAKING:
✅ HIGHER RETURNS
• 2-3 times more than flexible staking
• Guaranteed APY during the term
✅ PREDICTABILITY
• You know exactly how much you'll earn
• No surprises from rate changes
✅ FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE

• Long-term accumulation strategy
⚠️ DISADVANTAGES AND RISKS:
❌ LACK OF LIQUIDITY
• No access to funds during the lockup
• Missed opportunities if the market moves
❌ VOLATILITY RISK
• If the price drops, you cannot sell
• Possible impermanent loss in terms of value
❌ PENALTIES
• In some blockchains, early withdrawal incurs penalties
