Proof of Steak Coins

NEO

Holding any amount of NEO in your wallet automatically generates GAS, and your NEO wallet does not have to be online for this to happen. Currently GAS is generated at 3.85% of your NEO holdings – https://neotogas.com/

* No minimum, Neon wallet works great with Linux and Windows, no need to be online!

PIVX

There are currently two ways to stake with PIVX. Method 1: Running a Masternode, which requires 10,000 PIV. The return is about 4.8 percent. Method 2: Staking your PIVX, which has no required minimum, but requires you to keep your wallet active. – http://pivx.cryptonode.co/

* 1 PIVX = about $5.50 * 10,000 = $55,000 but you can always Stake With Method 2! Wallet must remain open to stake.

LISK

Lisk uses delegated Proof-of-Stake, meaning only the top 101 delegates are able to stake coins on this network. The delegates are voted on a rolling basis by the community, where 1 LSK equals 1 vote.
