 This page covers how staking and delegation works for token holders. If you're a node operator, please check out the related staking and delegation page in the [node operations](/node-ops/staking-and-delegation) documentation.
 
 ## Overview
 
 LITKEY token holders can lock their tokens to help secure the Lit network and earn a share of staking rewards. To delegate your tokens to a Lit Node Operator, please visit the [Lit staking portal](https://staking.litprotocol.com/). If you’re a node operator, or interested in running a node, please visit the [node operations docs](/node-ops/overview).
 
-Staking rewards are distributed according to each individual's **stake weight**, calculated as a function of the number of tokens staked and a time lock mechanism, covered in depth in the sections below.

 Lit Protocol is secured and operated by a decentralized network of validator nodes. These nodes are responsible for executing the threshold cryptographic operations that underpin the core functionality of the network, including signing, encryption, decryption, and private compute via Lit Actions.
 
 Each node participates in threshold signature multi-party computation (TSS MPC) protocols and operates inside a confidential compute environment (TEE), ensuring that no single operator can access plaintext key material or violate policy constraints.
