ETC is Proof-of-Work
Ethereum Classic uses Proof-of-Work consensus, not Proof-of-Stake. You cannot "stake" ETC directly. However, you can earn yield by providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges like ETCswap.

Providing liquidity involves risks including impermanent loss - when the value of your deposited tokens changes relative to holding them. The more volatile the trading pair, the higher the potential IL. Always research thoroughly and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
