# What is delegated staking?​ Delegated staking on Constellation Network allows any $DAG holder to participate in network security and validation by staking their tokens with validators without needing to run a node. This enables more users to contribute to decentralization and governance while earning staking incentives. By choosing a validator, you help secure the network, support metagraph projects, and receive $DAG incentives for your participation. Some metagraph validators even offer additional L0 token rewards, increasing your potential incentives. $DAG holders who participate in delegated staking may choose your node based on the commission percentage you set. This allows you, as a Node Operator, to generate additional rewards revenue from delegations. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
