🔑 Key Insights
Economic Alignment
Validators earn more by behaving honestly. Dishonesty results in slashing - economic loss.
Uptime Matters
Offline validators earn nothing. Staying online is crucial for maximizing returns.
Scale Benefits
More stake = proportionally more rewards. But returns are percentage-based, not exponential.
Risk vs Reward
Higher stake = higher potential rewards, but also higher potential slashing losses.
