# Staking module specification
|
|
|
|
## Abstract
|
|
|
|
This paper specifies the Staking module of the Cosmos-SDK, which was first
|
|
described in the [Cosmos Whitepaper](https://cosmos.network/about/whitepaper)
|
|
in June 2016.
|
|
|
|
The module enables Cosmos-SDK based blockchain to support an advanced
|
|
Proof-of-Stake system. In this system, holders of the native staking token of
|
|
the chain can become validators and can delegate tokens to validator
|
|
validators, ultimately determining the effective validator set for the system.
|
|
|
|
This module will be used in the Cosmos Hub, the first Hub in the Cosmos
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
## Contents
|
|
|
|
The following specification uses *Atom* as the native staking token. The module
|
|
can be adapted to any Proof-Of-Stake blockchain by replacing *Atom* with the
|
|
native staking token of the chain.
