Staking Filecoin
Filecoin is based on a hybrid validation system comprising proof-of-replication (PoREP) and proof-of-spacetime (PoSt) models. Therefore, Filecoin is mined, not staked. Investors still have a couple of ways to generate passive income from Filecoin. They can stake Filecoin on cryptocurrency exchanges that support this feature, including Binance’s rewards platform Binance Earn or DEX BakerSwap. Also, they can participate in mining Filecoin, providing storage space and bandwidth to clients on the centralized platform and earning more FIL crypto in the process.
Staking Siacoin
Siacoin, the native crypto of decentralized storage platform Sia, is built on a POW model and therefore does not offer staking in the usual way. However, there are still ways to generate passive income from Siacoin. Binance supports Siacoin staking on rewards platform Binance Earn, where investors can earn an APR of 0.50% in one year. Siafunds, a second coin of the Sia platform, is based on a revenue-sharing model that distributes income to token holders upon the completion of contracts on the storage platform.
