Passive income is money you earn without investing too much time and effort. It usually requires some upfront work, but once established, you can pretty much earn money while you sleep. Affiliate marketing, dropshipping, and real estate investments are some popular ways to earn passive income, but did you know you can grow your investments with cryptocurrencies as well?

It’s true! Through the process of staking, yield farming, and participating in referral schemes, you, too, can rake in the big bucks without getting off your couch. In this article, we look at how you can earn passive income with Cardano, Solana, and Caged Beasts (BEASTS).

Cardano’s Staking System

Cardano (ADA) is a decentralised computing platform and cryptocurrency that has a unique approach to validating transactions while minimising energy consumption. It also offers a lucrative opportunity for investors to earn passive income through staking.

Staking refers to the process of validating crypto transactions on the blockchain network. Participants earn additional cryptocurrency by contributing to the network. To stake Cardano, users can create an account on reputable crypto exchanges, deposit ADA tokens, navigate to their staking page, select a staking duration, enter the desired amount to stake, and confirm the choice. Staking benefits include passive income and active participation in the network, but it’s important to consider the potential drawbacks, such as market volatility and selecting a reliable staking pool or exchange. Popular options for Cardano staking include Binance, Kraken, Crypto.com, CEX.IO, and KuCoin, as well as dedicated wallets like Yoroi and Daedalus.

Solana’s Staking System

Solana (SOL) is an open-source platform that utilises blockchain technology to offer decentralised finance (DeFi) solutions. It uses a proof-of-stake mechanism to secure transactions and has created a broad ecosystem of decentralised applications that are responsible for millions of dollars.

Staking SOL can be done through a crypto wallet. First, choose a secure wallet that supports SOL staking, like the official Solana Wallet or Exodus. Acquire SOL tokens by purchasing them on a crypto exchange or transferring them from another wallet. Transfer the SOL tokens to the staking wallet and delegate them to a validator through the staking section of the wallet, following the provided instructions. Once delegated, you can start earning staking rewards, typically paid out weekly. Keep in mind that specific personal information and minimum deposit requirements may apply, so be prepared to provide the necessary details and understand the staking process.

Caged Beasts’ Referral Program

Caged Beasts (BEASTS) is a fresh face in the meme coin world, which has adopted an attractive marketing tactic for its presale that is now live. Caged Beasts doesn’t offer a staking function but instead has a referral system.

Users generate a unique referral code which they can share with their family and friends. Once they use the code, the referrer receives a 20% deposit in ETH, BNB, or USDT directly into their wallet. The referral recipient will also receive an extra 20% in BEASTS tokens.

Earning passive income has become easier and less labour-intensive with the rise of cryptocurrencies. By staking Cardano and Solana, users can earn incentives by supporting the network. Caged Beasts offers a referral program that rewards users for spreading the word. Whichever method you decide to choose, you’re sure to generate income without extensive effort.

Rivers Workers Seek Scrapping Of Contributory Pension Scheme

The Rivers State Council of Nigeria Civil Service Union has called on the State Government to urgently scrap the contributory pension scheme, describing it as unfavourable to long-serving civil servants in the state.

Chairman of the union, Chukwuka Osuma, said this in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt, recently.

Osuma said the current pension structure has continued to worsen post-retirement hardship for workers.

He noted that the contributory pension scheme had failed to provide adequate retirement security for workers who had spent many years in service, especially those approaching retirement age.

According to him, civil servants who had served for more than 20 years were among the worst affected under the scheme, insisting that many retirees could no longer cope with prevailing economic realities.

He also informed that the Union has made moves to showcase their concerns, pleading with Governor Siminalayi Fubara to abolish the pension policy and introduce a more favourable arrangement for affected workers.

“The union was not opposed to pension reforms, the contributory scheme should only apply to newly employed workers or those with fewer years in service”, he said.

Osuma explained that workers who had already spent decades in the civil service ought to remain under a more secure pension structure capable of guaranteeing stability after retirement.

The labour leader further noted that inflation and the rising cost of living had continued to erode the value of retirement savings, thereby increasing the suffering of pensioners across the country.

He also appealed to the state government to consider extending the years of service in the civil service from 35 to 40 years and the retirement age from 60 to 65 years.

Osuma argued that such adjustment had become necessary in view of present-day economic realities and changing conditions in the workplace.

The unionist also reviewed that similar policies had already been adopted in some sectors and jurisdictions, expressing optimism that the State could also implement the reforms for the benefit of workers.

He however, commended Governor Fubara for approving an N85,000 minimum wage for workers in the state, noting that the amount was above the national benchmark of N70,000.

Osuma also acknowledged the government’s efforts in the area of workers’ promotions and bonuses, but insisted that pension reforms and extension of years of service remained critical to the long-term welfare and stability of civil servants in Rivers State.

FG Begins South-West Tour To Promote New Cooperative Bank

The Federal Government has launched the South-West zonal engagement and ministerial advocacy tour on the Cooperative Bank of Nigeria share capital mobilisation, sensitisation and cooperative sector digitalisation.

Reports say the initiative was launched through the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.

According to reports, the advocacy tour, organised by the ministry’s Federal Department of Cooperatives, began on Monday in Lagos.

Speaking at the event, the Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security and Supervising Minister of Cooperative Affairs, Dr Aliyu Abdullahi, said the initiative was part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Abdullahi described the exercise as a strategic effort to reposition the cooperative sector as a key driver of inclusive economic growth, financial inclusion, enterprise development, food security and national prosperity.

“Today represents a defining moment in our collective determination to reposition the cooperative sector as a major driver of inclusive economic growth, financial inclusion, enterprise development, food security and national prosperity,” he said.

The minister noted the modern cooperative movement in Nigeria originated in the South-West following the 1934 Strickland Report, which led to the enactment of the Cooperative Societies Ordinance of 1935.

According to him, the decision to commence the sensitisation and share capital mobilisation tour in the region is symbolic, as it marks a return to the roots of cooperative development in the country.

Abdullahi said the advocacy tour was a direct outcome of resolutions reached at the 8th Regular Meeting of the National Council on Cooperative Affairs held in Abuja in March 2026.

He said the council approved the Renewed Hope Cooperative Reform and Revamp Programme, a comprehensive framework designed to strengthen the cooperative sector and align it with the administration’s goal of building a one-trillion-dollar economy.

“The reform programme focuses on seven strategic pillars, including governance reforms, cooperative financing and the establishment of the Cooperative Bank of Nigeria, digitalisation, capacity building, value chain development, inclusion of youths, women and persons with disabilities, and strategic partnerships,” he said.

He said the establishment of the Cooperative Bank of Nigeria and the digitalisation of the cooperative sector were the two major transformational initiatives under the programme.

“The Cooperative Bank of Nigeria is aimed at rebuilding a strong cooperative financial system capable of supporting cooperators, farmers, artisans, traders, SMEs, youths, women and persons with disabilities with accessible and affordable financial services,” he said.

Abdullahi emphasised that the proposed bank would be government-enabled but not government-funded.

“Government is not establishing the bank as an owner, nor will it rely on Treasury Single Account funds.

“The role of government through the FMAFS is to provide policy support, stakeholder coordination, regulatory facilitation and an enabling environment under the Renewed Hope Cooperative Reform and Revamp Programme,” he said.

Also speaking, the Lagos State Commissioner for Commerce, Cooperatives, Trade and Investment, Mrs Folashade Ambrose-Medebem, reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to cooperative sector transformation.

She described cooperatives as critical tools for promoting inclusive growth, grassroots productivity, food security, financial inclusion and community wealth creation.

Ambrose-Medebem said Lagos State would continue to support reforms and collaborate with stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the Renewed Hope Cooperative Reform and Revamp Programme (2025–2030).

“Together, let us build a cooperative ecosystem that is modern, transparent, digitally enabled, financially inclusive and globally competitive.

“Let us build cooperatives that not only mobilise savings, but also mobilise prosperity,” she said.
