What is Voting Power?
Voting Power refers to the influence a validator has in the consensus process of a blockchain network. It determines how much weight a validator’s vote carries when proposing and validating blocks.
Voting power is typically based on:
- The amount of staked tokens (self-staked).
- Delegations from other users, which increase a validator’s influence.
Validators with higher voting power have a greater impact on decision-making and block production, making them more influential in the network’s security and governance.
