You can make passive income through staking
a process that powers transactions
Certain decentralized blockchains work by choosing computers on the network to validate and record transactions. Validators are rewarded with crypto.
In order to be a validator, you need to own the native crypto associated with the blockchain and "stake" it by locking it into the network.

The philosophy of staking
guiding human behavior with incentives
Decentralization means there's no central authority to enforce network participants to act in good faith when validating transactions. In lieu of having a "big brother" watch dog, proof of stake networks incentivizes those who act accordingly with crypto rewards and punishes bad actors by taking their crypto.
This is why you need to own crypto to be a validator - you need to prove that your interests are aligned with the best interests of the network.

the easiest way for beginners to stake
crypto is through centralized exchanges
Centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Crypto.com offer staking rewards for certain cryptos with a few clicks. All you need to do is buy crypto's with staking options supported by the exchange.
Rewards vary and are determined by different variables, but can reach as high as 20% APY for certain cryptos.

top level explaination of how it works
Aave allows you to deposit and borrow 16 different types of cryptocurrencies while earning on your deposited collateral.
Different assets have different earning rates and borrowing power.
Borrowed assets will accrue an annual interest that needs to be paid back when you’re done with the loan, but this accrual can be switched between a variable or stable rate.

this is just the tip of the iceberg
there so many ways to generate APY
