What Is the Difference between “Active Staking” and “Delegated Staking” in a DON?

Active staking requires the token holder to run their own oracle node, performing the data fetching and reporting duties. Delegated staking allows a token holder to delegate their tokens to a professional node operator.

The delegator earns a share of the node's rewards but also shares the risk of being slashed. Delegated staking allows non-technical users to participate in the network's security.
