Staking seems to be one of the good features currently in the crypto space, this is because it has successfully created a sort of passive income for those already leveraging it. However, before one can get involved with staking, it is paramount to know about the coins and/or tokens worthy of such and to a length such person should be a long term holder.
About worthy tokens, because some projects have seen that staking is good, made a lot of developers to launch theirs but the return or gains is not worth it. Secondly, if one is not a long term holder, staking won't make sense to the person, because if the price of the coin falls, such person might be forced to exit.
I have not heard about NEAR staking, but however, a token like CAKE have been doing well for a while now when it comes to staking and the apy so far is encouraging. In addition, CAKE lists good tokens which you can sell whenever you want or hold long term.
