# 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. 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. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
