Staking is one of the way for mining cryptocurrency. You are providing the Network support to find more blocks and at a faster rate! You need coins in your wallet and that helps to verify and confirm more blocks in the blockchain network of the coin. Staking is as easy as sending your computer wallet any amount of Coin and clicking “Unlock Wallet” while,

Mining is intentionally designed to be resource-intensive and difficult so that the number of blocks found each day by miners remains steady. Individual blocks must contain a proof of work to be considered valid. This proof of work is verified by other Bitcoin nodes each time they receive a block. It is also the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions (and a "mining rig" is a colloquial metaphor for a single computer system that performs the necessary computations for "mining". This ledger of past transactions is called the block chain as it is a chain of blocks. The blockchain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place. Bitcoin nodes use the blockchain to distinguish legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere.
