stakers
Those placing wagers
Stakers are people who place stakes, whether literal or figurative.
In traditional contexts, a staker drives stakes into the ground to mark boundaries or support structures.
In cryptocurrency and blockchain systems, stakers commit digital assets to a network to help validate transactions and maintain security, earning rewards in return.
Early stakers in the protocol saw significant returns.
The term also applies to anyone who has a stake or vested interest in an outcome.
