- Staking enhances network security and consensus resilience
Institutional Move May Fuel Ecosystem Growth
This activity highlights a growing trend of institutional capital allocating toward decentralized ecosystems. As more stakeholders participate in staking and governance, the network is poised to strengthen its decentralization, paving the way for broader ecosystem development.
