How staking will work at a high level is as follows:
Nodes will have to stake $ LINK via 2 deposits (more on the difference further below)
If an oracle network reports a value that deviates outside of the service level agreement (SLA) it can be reported.
This report is then raised to a second-tier adjudicator that decides whether or not the value provided did break the SLA.
If an oracle network is found to have broke the SLA, then the $ LINK staked by all nodes/delegators in that network will be slashed as punishment.
Nodes that behave, will be rewarded in $LINK for staking and securing Chainlink services.
