Developing a Staking and Unstaking Smart Contract

Staking and unstaking smart contracts are essential components of many
blockchain projects, particularly those that utilize proof-of-stake (PoS)
mechanisms. These contracts allow users to lock up their tokens to support
network operations, such as validating transactions, in exchange for rewards.

What are Staking and Unstaking Mechanisms?

Staking mechanisms enable users to participate in the network's consensus
process by locking their tokens in a smart contract. This process secures the
network and incentivizes users through rewards, typically in the form of
additional tokens. Unstaking refers to the process of withdrawing these locked
tokens, allowing users to regain control over their assets.

Key Components of Staking and Unstaking Smart Contracts

Most staking and unstaking smart contracts are built on established token
standards like ERC-20 or ERC-721. Key components include:
