While it’s possible to stake Tezos on your own or via a delegated staking service, it can be confusing, complicated and even risky with regard to the security of your staked Tezos.

This declaration boosted the already bullish altcoin and it remains one of the outperformers on the session. This service was first launched back in November in the US and customers have said to have earned well from the deal since. Coinbase are also considering adding the offer to some additional territories in the future.
