Definition ∞ Staking efficiency measures how effectively staked assets are utilized to secure a blockchain network and generate rewards. It considers factors such as the ratio of rewards earned to the amount staked, the cost of participation, and the overall network security contribution. High staking efficiency implies a favorable return on investment for stakers while contributing robustly to network integrity. This metric helps evaluate the economic viability of Proof-of-Stake mechanisms.
Context ∞ Staking efficiency is a key consideration for participants in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains, influencing decisions on where to allocate capital. News coverage frequently discusses changes in staking yields, the introduction of new staking pools, or the impact of network upgrades on staking rewards. Analyzing staking efficiency helps understand the economic incentives driving network security and the attractiveness of specific digital assets for long-term holding. It is a vital metric for assessing the health of PoS ecosystems.
