Staking participation refers to the act of locking up cryptocurrency assets in a blockchain network to support its operations and security. Participants, known as stakers, validate transactions and create new blocks in exchange for rewards. This mechanism is central to Proof of Stake consensus systems. The level of participation directly influences the network’s decentralization and its resistance to attacks.
