# Staking

## Overview

Staking is one of the core features of the Lumoz protocol, enhancing its security and decentralization. It is also the primary way for Lumoz community members to participate in the network’s operations. When staking, users need to choose a Node. The more esMOZ staked with a Node, the higher the probability of earning rewards, and the more rewards stakers can receive.
