DeFi is the fastest-growing segment in blockchain, with the power to bank the unbanked and offer financial instruments without intermediaries. In the Kaldi ecosystem, staking is a cornerstone of the Kaldicoin value proposition, enabling users to add their Kaldicoin to a staking contract for a set timeframe in exchange for a share of newly minted Kaldicoin. Staking also helps mitigate against market slides by locking large portions of Kaldicoin in a smart contract.
