Staking is.......
In depth
The evolution of staking.
Owners would offer their coins as collateral for the chance to validate blocks, and they would be rewarded for doing so. Staking, therefore, rewarded users risking collateral and doing work: participating in functions necessary to the continued operation of a network or a protocol. [1]
Over time, the word ‘staking’ has been repurposed and redefined. Instead of receiving rewards for contributing to chain security with collateral at stake, modern “staking” just seems to mean "we give you more coins as a reward if you don’t sell your current coins".[1]
Staking mechanisms should be designed to support the goals of the ecosystem. They should be used to incentivise the parts of a product, community or network that requires people to do work or to take risk. [1]
Nodes are rewarded for honest work and punished for malicious activity directly or indirectly.
