You can stake XTZ and earn rewards by becoming a baker (running your own validator node) or by delegating XTZ to a baker. You can browse bakers and delegate your XTZ to one on tzkt.io.

Baking is the Tezos term for being a validator of its blockchain. Anyone can become a baker by running the proper software and hardware, and by locking 6,000 XTZ.

The price of XTZ refers to a global price that is calculated by making a volume-weighted average of its real-time price on many different exchange platforms where it is traded, such as Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, etc.

You never store XTZ in itself. Instead, you store the private key giving you access and control over a Tezos address. That key is stored in a wallet, which provides an interface to use it. To learn more, read our in-depth guide on storing crypto assets.

To send XTZ, you use a Tezos wallet like Bridge Wallet where you will choose the amount to send and the destination address. Confirm and send, that's it!
