Stake Delegation Incentives

Definition

Stake delegation incentives are rewards or benefits offered to cryptocurrency holders who delegate their tokens to a validator in a Proof-of-Stake network. These incentives encourage token holders to participate in network security and consensus without needing to run their own validator nodes. Delegators receive a portion of the block rewards generated by the validator they support, typically after the validator takes a commission. This mechanism helps to distribute staking participation and maintain network decentralization.
