Chainlink's Staking v0.1, part of the Chainlink Economics 2.0 initiative, allows LINK token holders and node operators to enhance the cryptoeconomic security of oracle services by staking their tokens and earning rewards. This launch marks a crucial step in the network's sustainable growth, with a staking pool that permits up to 7,000 LINK per participant, within a total cap of 25 million LINK. The staking process involves utilizing a non-custodial smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain, which ensures that staked LINK and rewards remain locked until the release of Staking v0.2 in 9-12 months. Participants must hold LINK in a self-custodial Web3 wallet and possess enough ETH to cover transaction fees, as staking requires an on-chain transaction. The system supports a variety of wallets, including MetaMask and WalletConnect-compatible options, and provides detailed tutorials for staking with both individual and multisig wallets, highlighting the need for understanding staking pool parameters, lock-up periods, and potential transaction fees.
