# Voting Power and Commission Rates

Validator voting power is proportional to stake size, ensuring that network influence aligns with participation and commitment. For example, a validator staking 20,000 tokens would have twice the voting weight of one staking 10,000 tokens.&#x20;

Validators also set commission rates, typically between 5% and 10%, to cover operational costs. Higher commission rates may reduce delegation, while lower rates attract more participants.&#x20;
