Frequently asked questions
In Proof-of-Stake, validators participate in the consensus process by producing blocks, verifying other blocks, and voting on the inclusion of blocks in the chain. To stake in Ethereum, users must temporarily lock a certain amount of ETH in the protocol to become a validator. This locked ETH is known as their stake. Validators who perform their duties well are rewarded, while those who act dishonestly may face penalties or lose their stake.
