Stake weights represent the proportional influence or voting power assigned to participants in a proof-of-stake or delegated proof-of-stake network based on the amount of cryptocurrency they have staked. Higher stake weights generally correlate with greater participation rights or rewards. These weights are fundamental to the network’s consensus and security model.
Context
Discussions about stake weights often appear in analyses of decentralized governance, validator performance, and the distribution of rewards within proof-of-stake blockchains. News reports may cover how changes in stake distribution affect network control or how stake weights influence the selection of block producers. Examining stake weights is crucial for understanding the economic dynamics and governance structures of many digital asset networks.
