What Is the Staking Mechanism for Node Operators in a DON?

Node operators in a Decentralized Oracle Network (DON) are required to stake a significant amount of the network's native token as collateral. This stake serves as a financial guarantee of their honesty.

If a node operator reports false or inaccurate data, their staked collateral is "slashed" (partially or fully taken away) as a penalty, creating a strong economic incentive for accurate reporting.
