What Is the Relationship between Staking and Oracle Node Reputation?

Staking and reputation are complementary security layers. Staking provides an immediate financial disincentive against malicious behavior.

Reputation is a long-term, historical measure of a node's honesty and performance. A node with a high stake and a long, positive reputation is trusted more and may be assigned more high-value data jobs, while a low-reputation node might have a higher slashing risk or lower job priority.
