Seda

What is SEDA?

SEDA is a modular data layer that sets a new standard for data transport, access, and querying any data type from any source. SEDA implements a fully modular interface that developers can use to determine what data feeds to fetch and how to use this data for computation. This approach ensures that developers receive results that can be readily integrated into their networks and/or smart contracts.

SEDA’s approach eliminates the need for native deployment required by Oracles, enabling seamless, chain-agnostic integrations featuring protocol-led data feed configuration and customizable pricing models. Any protocol can access SEDA on a 100% permissionless basis promoting immediate integrations with same-day data access.

What is SEDA staking?

Staking is a great way for long-term crypto investors to earn passive income on their Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency assets (such as SEDA) while taking part in securing the network.

Stakers, by delegating tokens to validators, give voting rights to these to validate transactions on the blockchain and propose new blocks. The more stake is attributed to a validator, the more it will be able to take part in the network consensus and earn rewards for its stakers.

A quick example: Suppose a blockchain network offers a 5% reward rate for a staking period of 1 year (5% APR). You decide to lock up and stake 100 tokens on the network. After a year, you can access your staked tokens and receive five additional tokens as your reward – minus eventual fees charged by the staking provider.

Staking Proof-of-Stake (PoS) cryptocurrencies such as SEDA does not require stakers to transfer their token to validators. It is a non-custodial process.

Why is Stakin a great choice for SEDA staking?

Staking your assets on your own is operationally challenging, as it requires specialist expertise to set up nodes and ensure constant uptime to maximize rewards or prevent so-called slashing: partial loss of your staked cryptocurrencies due to prolonged downtime, or inappropriate/malicious behavior by the node operator.
