What is FLOW staking?
Flow is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) based blockchain platform that rewards network participants for helping to secure the blockchain through staking. CoinList will facilitate staking for users, and Figment will be acting as the delegated worker for FLOW staking on CoinList. CoinList users that stake their FLOW receive rewards for their contributions.
