When you stake (EARN) #BTTC , your tokens are being used for a variety of functions within the BitTorrent ecosystem:

Transaction Validation: Your locked $BTTC help validate transactions on the BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) network. This is crucial to the security and efficient operation of the blockchain, where validators are rewarded for their work maintaining the network.

Rewards and Fees: By participating in staking, you earn rewards. These rewards can come from a variety of sources, including network transaction fees and staking rewards. For example, during specific campaigns, #Binance offered extremely high APY rates to incentivize staking $BTTC, with rewards distributed to stakers.

Increased Security and Decentralization: Locking $BTTC contributes to the security of the network, making it more decentralized by spreading the validation power among more participants. This helps protect the network against attacks and centralization.

Participation in Events and Promotions: During promotional events, your locked $BTTC may qualify you to participate in giveaways, additional rewards, or other perks offered by the platform you are staking on, such as #Binance .

Therefore, while your #BTTC are locked, they not only generate passive income for you through rewards, but also contribute positively to the functioning, security, and expansion of the BitTorrent Chain ecosystem.
