What Role Does Staking Play in the Security of a DON?

Staking acts as a financial guarantee that oracle nodes will behave honestly. Node operators must lock up a valuable asset (stake) to participate in the network.

If a node submits inaccurate, malicious, or stale data, a portion or all of its staked collateral is "slashed" (taken away). This mechanism provides a strong economic disincentive against dishonest behavior, directly enhancing the security and integrity of the data feed.
