A quick primer on staking and what it meant (or used to mean): Staking was a way for Proof of Stake networks to give token holders the ability to offer their tokens as collateral for the chance to validate blocks, whilst taking the risk that if they did not fulfill their responsibilities they could have some of their collateral slashed. In return, they would be rewarded with the native token for completing this work. Traditional staking rewarded users risking collateral and doing work: participating in actions necessary to the continued operation of the network or protocol.
