The staking economy is proving its worth. With 42% of the token supply already locked in staking and the number climbing, we're seeing a fundamentally different approach to token incentives. Holders are earning rewards without needing to liquidate their positions—that's a game changer compared to traditional buyback and burn models. When investors can capture yield while maintaining exposure, it changes the entire holding equation. Staking protocols align incentives better: they reward long-term commitment directly, keep supply engaged on-chain, and create sustainable earning mechanisms. This isn't just cosmetic—it's reshaping how tokens function as economic primitives. The data speaks for itself.

42% of the locked amount says it all; this is true consensus.

42% lock-up still climbing? Keep pushing higher, this is true commitment.

Can staking yields really outpace inflation? The numbers look good, but in reality, the actual returns still shrink.

A 42% lock-up rate looks good, but I'm more concerned about the actual return rate compared to the gas fees... Has anyone calculated it?
