When staking Celestia (TIA) you are securing the network with the additional benefit of compounding your TIA with staking rewards!
Staking TIA is the process of holding TIA "stake" to partake and support the operations in the Celestia network to receive rewards. To be a "Delegator" 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 P2P.org validator comes in. We allow TIA token holders to forget about all the heavy lifting, for example, maintenance, surety bonds and other technical requirements, by "delegating" their holdings to P2P.org to receive these rewards. We accumulate users' stakes and act as a major validation node. We receive and allocate stake rewards between our users pro rata to the delegation.
Users who choose to stake with P2P.org maintain full custody of their TIA at all times, and P2P.org will never have access to them.
Example:
Let's assume that current APR for staking TIA is approximately 11.3%, and the validator fee is 5%. I delegate 1000 TIA to P2P.org.
Reward: 1000*11.3% = 113 TIA
Validator Fee = 113*5% = 5.65 TIA
Estimated balance after 1 year = 1000+113-5.65 = 1107.44 TIA
By simply delegating my 1000 TIA as I hold it, I will have supported the network and earned an additional 107.44 TIA after one year.
