This section is for CELO holders who want to stake, and for operators who manage a validator group or community RPC node. Locked CELO powers three things at once: votes in validator elections, votes on governance proposals, and the stake behind registered validators and groups.
TerminologyThe term “validator” is used in the code and corresponding explanation due to historical reasons, but refers to the community RPC providers.
