As part of the recent collaboration, Hex Trust will support the staking or delegation executed by the users either through Hex Trust operated Baker nodes or any other Baker node preferred by them. With an intention to offer the best in-class security for the Baker node private keys, Hex Trust has employed the Remote Signer protocol in association with IBM CryptoExpress HSM, which shines as the highest FIPS Level 4 certified devices in the industry. The Hex Trust users will become passive earners from their Tezos tokens held with Hex Trust.
Tezos uses the Proof-of-Stake algorithm which renders any stakeholder a right to participate in the consensus mechanism of the network. The holders are rewarded for giving significant inputs in strengthening the security and stability of the platform. Staking is addressed as delegating in Tezos, which indicates towards the act of signing and publishing blocks on the blockchain. Bakers hold a special place in the Tezos consensus method as they give assurance about the accuracy of the transactions completed on each block.
