If your staking income is a one off thing and not something that you're doing regularly then you can enter the income from the 1099-MISC into the miscellaneous income section as just miscellaneous income that wasn't earned with the goal of making money. It will go on the 1040 in line 8z and not subject to self-employment tax.
The IRS is attempting to match the amount from your 1099-MISC, not the specific form. So as long as it is in the correct category then you are fine.
If your staking income is something that you do regularly then it is subject to self-employment tax and you have a business. That is when you will use the steps outlined by @AliciaP1 above. If you have any expenses directly related to earning the staking income you will be able to deduct those as well. The staking income in this case is subject to self-employment tax because you're doing it as a side gig to make money. Again, the IRS is looking for the amount from the 1099-MISC on your return, not a linked form.
Here is some more guidance on staking and crypto in general.
