Since 2019, Aptos has emerged as a leading smart contract blockchain, drawing in a large number of developers and users alike. The platform empowers developers to build decentralized applications, leveraging the full potential of blockchain technology. Meanwhile, validators, such as Everstake, play a crucial role in ensuring the security and stability of the blockchain, a necessary aspect for its success and adoption.
As a dPOS (Delegated Proof-of-Stake) blockchain, Aptos also provides users with the opportunity to participate by staking their cryptocurrency. By delegating their crypto assets to validators, users can earn a passive income in return. This guide will walk you through the process of staking Aptos using the Fewcha Wallet.
