The miners with higher stakes and mining bot are more likely to act in the network's best interests since the value of their staked CRP—and thus their potential rewards—is directly tied to the network's performance and reliability.
For any cryptocurrency ecosystem to thrive, stability is paramount. Increasing the staking balance ensures sustained long-term stability in multiple ways.
Higher staking balances can reduce the circulating supply of CRP, thereby reducing market volatility. When a significant portion of CRP is staked and not available for trading, it minimizes the chances of sudden large-scale sell-offs that can destabilize the market.
joanna;35622 wrote:Vastextension;35621 wrote:It becomes significantly more expensive for malicious actors to mount attacks to compromise the network, they would need to acquire a substantial amount of CRP, making the endeavor financially prohibitive.
A higher staking balance encourages a more distributed network of validators. When more individuals or entities stake larger amounts, the network becomes less susceptible to centralization, thus enhancing its robustness.
One of the most compelling reasons for miners to increase their staking balance is the potential for increased financial rewards.
Miners who stake more CRP are generally has more chance to validate more transactions and get more CRP rewards.
