Participating in the Aztec Network
As a token holder, you can actively participate in the Aztec network without running any infrastructure. This section covers how to stake tokens, delegate to operators, and participate in governance.
Guides
Staking Tokens
Stake your tokens to help secure the network and earn rewards. Learn about staking requirements, risks, and how to get started.
Delegating Stake
If you don't want to run your own infrastructure, you can delegate your stake to professional operators who run sequencers on your behalf.
Voting on Proposals
Use your staked tokens to vote on governance proposals that shape the future of the Aztec protocol.
Before You Start
