STAKE is a multi-chain staking token that is designed to secure the payment layer. Staking allows validators and delegators to provide transaction consensus and receive staking incentives for block production. It is only required for consensus providers, not everyday on-chain transactions.

xDai was created by the POA Network, an open-source public side-chain of Ethereum founded in April 2017. It offers a framework for smart contracts which provides developers with an easy and effective way to code on Ethereum, while also leveraging the POA Network capabilities.

How Is the xDai Network Secured?

xDai provides virtual public utility for users. The xDai token is used to secure the xDai chain by validators and delegators. Users can participate in chain consensus and stake their xDai to secure the chain and receive rewards.

Two bridges connect the xDai Stable Chain to the Ethereum mainnet that supports seamless two-way asset transfer between the chains. The tokens are acquired on the mainnet and then bridged to the xDai sidechain through the usage of the DAI-xDai bridge for transaction tokens; the OmniBridge is used for cross-chain transfers.

It is important to note that xDai runs on the public POSDAO consensus and delegated proof-of-stake and anyone with enough STAKE to run a node can become a validator. Delegators help determine the validator bet by placing STAKE on candidates that they want to see become validators.
