Staking
Locking up XPR to participate in governance. Required to vote for Block Producers. Staking also increases account security via a 24-hour unstaking delay.
Unstaking
The process of unlocking your XPR. Takes 24 hours to complete. During this period, you can still cancel the request.
Block Producers (BPs)
Elected entities that produce blocks and maintain the network. Only the top 21 by vote rank are active at any given time.
Voting
Stakers can vote for up to 4 Block Producers. Voting doesn’t impact staking rewards but influences network direction via DPoS governance.
DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake)
The consensus mechanism used by XPR Network. Token holders delegate votes to Block Producers, who validate transactions and propose blocks.
