When staking Sei(SEI) you are securing the network with the additional benefit of compounding your SEI!
Staking SEI is the process of holding a SEI "stake" to participate in and support the operations in the Sei network and receive rewards. To be a "validator" and participate in these operations, one must maintain a server running continuously, have technological know-how and experience, and have a significant self-bond (surety bond).
This is where the P2P.org comes in; we allow SEI token holders to forget about all the heavy lifting, i.e., maintenance, surety bonds, etc., by "delegating" their holdings to P2P.org to receive these rewards. We accumulate users' stakes and act as a major validation node, receiving and allocating staking rewards between our users' pro rata to the delegation.
Users that choose to stake with P2P.org maintain full custody of their SEI at all times, and P2P.org will never have access to them.
Example:
Let's assume the current NRR for staking SEI is 5% with a fee of 10% and 1000 SEI are delegated to P2P.org:
Reward: 1000*5% = SEI
Fee = 50*10% = 5 SEI
Estimated balance after 1 year = 1000+50-5 = 1045 SEI
By simply delegating my 1000 SEI as I hold it, I will have supported the network and earned an additional 45 SEI after 1 year.

Please keep in mind that the NRR specified is approximate and changes along with network conditions.
