# CAD016: Peer Staking

> Separates operational peer stake (slashed if the hot key leaks) from delegated stake (slashed only if the controller account is compromised), so coin holders can back good operators without running infrastructure themselves. Cleaner fault model than Ethereum validator staking, where one key loss loses everything.
