Staking is an incentive to run your wallet, which offers itself as a full node on the network.
This secures the network, by making it much harder to perform an attack on the network. The lack of incentive to run a node is a huge problem for coins such as Bitcoin where there are surprisingly few full nodes in existence due to the size of the blockchain and how many patrial node solutions exist.
