Staking

How validator staking works on Telcoin Network. Membership is permissioned: governance issues a ConsensusNFT to approved operators, who stake TEL through the ConsensusRegistry contract and earn a share of each epoch’s issuance for the consensus work they perform.

How Staking Works covers stake versions, delegation, rewards, and the validator lifecycle. Why Membership Model explains the reasoning behind permissioned membership. How to Stake is the step-by-step operator guide, and Future Direction discusses validator scalability limits and planned changes.
