summary
Claims staking is the foundation of Web3 because token holders can run nodes, govern protocols and capture ongoing value instead of being pure speculators. Describes running bare metal + cloud validators, exposing APIs and dashboards, and operating a governance and research team of 10+ to write proposals and participate in communities. Notes billions of assets staked on the platform, explains slashing and downtime risks, and maps yield dynamics versus transaction fee revenue with Terra/Anchor as an example.
