Some wallets use the label "staking" to refer to the act of handing over your coins to a custodian who will turn around and stake them.

Is this label correct? Staking may have been the user's goal, but the "handing over the coins" part feels too critical to not be reflected in the action's label.

Am I off-base here?

staking is kinda a tricky term, especially when you gotta hand over your coins. feels more like lending, right? the label should def reflect that whole process, not just the end goal. you're not off-base at all, it's important to get the terminology right so folks know what's really happening with their assets. let's keep it clear and simple!
