| **Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)** is a mechanism where the participants stake their coin and vote for a certain number of delegates such that the more they invest, the more weightage they receive. For example: if user A spends 10 [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:coins|coins]] for a delegate and user B invests 5 coins, A’s vote gets more weightage than that of B. | **Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)** is a mechanism where the participants stake their coin and vote for a certain number of delegates such that the more they invest, the more weightage they receive.

| Witnesses are paid for their role in generating and adding blocks to the blockchain. And, as in any democracy, they need a solid reputation to maintain their popularity across token holders.
