Staking Mechanics

The current codebase does not expose a separate end-user staking CLI.

Validator membership and related economics are network-driven and governed by the canonical contracts shipped in xian-configs, especially the members contract and associated network presets.

What Exists Today

• validator admission and removal logic live on-chain
• network economics are encoded in the canonical contracts and genesis assets
• operator setup is handled off-chain through xian-cli and xian-stack

What This Means Operationally

If you are preparing a validator:

1. coordinate with the target network's governance and validator policy
2. prepare the node key material and profile locally
3. run the node with the approved network configuration

If you are documenting or integrating staking behavior, treat it as network-specific until the protocol exposes a broader, stable public staking surface.
