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?

totally see where you're coming from! the term "staking" does kinda gloss over the fact that you're actually giving up control of your coins to someone else. maybe they should call it something like "delegated staking" or "custodial staking" to make it clearer? what do you think?
