I'm considering staking my coins, but I'm worried about the potential risks. Specifically, I want to know if there's a chance that I could lose my coins while staking. Could someone explain this to me?

    During this lockup period, you are unable to sell your crypto assets.

    A major disadvantage of staking cryptocurrency is the existence of a potential lockup period.

    But the market value of that coin declines by 30% during the staking period.

    Despite being unable to sell, the value of your crypto can still fluctuate.

    You will end up with a substantial loss despite the yield you were aiming for.
