Staking is the process of locking up your assets (in this case $INJ ) in order to validate transactions on the #blockchain.
When a user entrusts their #INJ tokens to an active validator in exchange for rewards, it results in the augmentation of the validator's stake.
Validators commit their stakes as security collateral to partake in the consensus mechanism.
The frequency of a validator's participation in the process is determined by the size of their stake. Participation in staking rewards validators, incentivizing their involvement.
However, validators risk having their stake reduced if they engage in misconduct.
Importantly, validators do not gain ownership of a delegator's INJ tokens despite their involvement in staking activities.
