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.
