Could you elaborate on the key distinctions between traditional staking and liquid staking in the world of cryptocurrency? I'm particularly interested in understanding how they differ in terms of their functionalities, accessibility, and the overall staking experience for investors. Does one offer more flexibility or returns compared to the other? Additionally, are there any specific risks or benefits associated with each approach that investors should be aware of?
