How Does the Concept of “Staking” in PoA Compare to “Margin” in Derivatives Trading?
Both staking in PoA and margin in derivatives trading involve locking up capital as collateral. Staking is capital locked to secure the network and gain the right to validate blocks and earn rewards.
Margin is capital locked with a broker to cover potential losses on a leveraged derivatives position. Both act as a financial commitment that is subject to loss (slashing/margin call) if the participant acts irresponsibly.
