Staked asset pools are collections of digital assets locked by users to support a blockchain network or protocol. Participants contribute their tokens to these pools to help secure the network, validate transactions, or provide liquidity for decentralized applications. In return, they receive rewards, often in the form of newly minted tokens or transaction fees. This mechanism is fundamental to proof-of-stake consensus systems and various decentralized finance offerings.
