Ethereum 2.0: Staking
Staking can be seen as purchasing permission to work. In the context of Ethereum 2.0, this "work" refers to validating transactions and producing blocks. If a validator performs their job correctly and honestly, the protocol rewards them. If not, the amount they locked in the protocol to gain the right to validate is automatically reduced. This carrot-and-stick system incentivizes validators to act honestly, making any attempts at manipulation economically unprofitable.
