Governance & Staking: Why I Staked a Little
Chainbase frames $C as both a governance tool and a staking asset that delegates to data engineers and node operators. I delegated a small stake to a trusted operator to test the flow and to gain access to governance proposals. The idea—letting token holders back qualified data teams—resonated with me: curation of high-quality datasets needs skin in the game, and delegation aligns incentives. Staking also gives me practical insights into reward mechanics and the operator ecosystem. I treat my stake as a long-term participation ticket rather than a pure yield play.
