What is Staking

Validator nodes are independent participants who maintain the Treasurenet blockchain by recording and verifying network activity—including real-world asset productivity.

To join the network, Validators must stake $UNIT tokens as collateral. This stake is subject to penalties (slashing) if the Validator behaves dishonestly or fails to meet protocol requirements.

Delegated Staking​

Any $UNIT holder can also participate by delegating their tokens to Validators—sharing in network rewards without needing to run a node themselves.

Why Staking Matters​

Staking ensures that:

  • Validators have skin in the game
  • Network consensus remains decentralized
  • REP-generated $UNIT is secured by real economic participation
