I'm curious about the risks involved in staking cryptocurrency. Can you explain to me if there's a possibility of losing my crypto while staking, and if so, what are the main factors that contribute to this risk? I'm particularly interested in understanding the potential downsides and what steps I can take to mitigate them.
