Staked Asset Utility

Definition

Beyond securing the network and earning staking rewards, staked assets can be used as collateral, participate in governance decisions, or serve as a base for liquid staking derivatives. This utility enhances the economic value and functional role of the underlying digital asset. It represents the active participation and value creation within a protocol.
