# Secure (Stake)

SEDA Token holders contribute to the technical security and stability of the network by either operating their own validator node or delegating tokens to a professional node operator. Within the network, incentives are designed to encourage honest participation and support the integrity of the network.y. Honest actors earn rewards, while malicious actors may lose part of their stake in the network. Network participants include Validators, Solvers, and Data Request Executors (DRES). Participation incentives may include protocol-defined allocations or token distribution, as determined by the network’s operational parameters.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.seda.xyz/home/archvie/seda-litepaper/seda-token/secure-stake.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
