Staking
Locking or pooling VARA to support validator election and network security.
In plain language
Stakers may nominate validators directly or participate through a nomination pool and receive rewards under the network's staking rules.
Why it matters
Staking configuration, validator count, inflation and slashing all appear in governance.
