[Messari Insight] Highest staking participation among Proof-of-Stake networks

For PoS and similar consensus mechanisms, security is generally a function of the staking ratio (the percentage of total supply dedicated to staking) and unit price. In theory, a higher staking ratio represents a more prohibitive cost of attack. But staked tokens are also often subject to a lock-up period, meaning these tokens cannot be used or sold by their owner for a predetermined amount of time. Therefore, a higher staking percentage suggests fewer tokens are available for trading, payments, transactions, or any other network use-case.

Below are the top 10 Proof-of-Stake (Pos) and Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) networks by the percentage of tokens staked on the network (for cryptoassets with at least $10 million in Liquid Marketcap).
