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.

Elected entities that produce blocks and maintain the network. Only the top 21 by vote rank are active at any given time.
