Staking step-by-step
What is Tezos staking?
- The Tezos network recently experienced a major update called Paris, which introduced a new staking function (before that there was only delegation). Delegating and staking are two different processes.
- Staking represents an advancement of the existing Tezos Liquid Proof-of-Stake mechanism, adding a new role for network participants known as "staker." This role complements the existing "delegate" (also referred to as "baker") and "delegator" roles.
- More significant incentives are offered for staked funds because they actively enhance network security by being at stake. Baking rights, voting power, and rewards of staked funds count twice as much as delegated funds. However, unlike liquid delegation, staked funds are locked and can be subject to slashing depending on the amount added to the selected baker's deposit. Double-baking penalties are set at 5% of the delegate’s stake.
- Additionally, stakers receive rewards directly from the Tezos protocol, whereas delegators receive rewards from the bakers.

Blockchain Overviev
Tezos is a blockchain platform designed for smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It aims to provide a self-amending blockchain that can evolve without requiring a hard fork. Tezos uses a liquid proof-of-stake (LPoS) consensus mechanism, where token holders can participate in the consensus process by delegating their tokens to bakers (the equivalent of miners in other blockchain networks) to validate transactions and create new blocks.
One of the unique features of Tezos is its on-chain governance mechanism, which allows stakeholders to vote on proposed protocol upgrades and amendments. This enables Tezos to adapt and evolve over time in a decentralized manner.
Tezos also supports formal verification of smart contracts, which can help ensure their correctness and security. This feature makes Tezos particularly appealing for applications where security and reliability are paramount, such as in finance and healthcare.
