Truthful staking refers to the practice of participating in a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism by validating transactions honestly and without malicious intent. Stakers who engage in truthful staking uphold the network’s integrity, security, and decentralization by diligently following protocol rules. This honest participation is essential for the reliable operation of the blockchain. It ensures the network’s trust assumptions are consistently maintained.
