# Delegating Stake on the Ollara Network

## **Why Delegate Stake on Ollara?**

**Delegated staking** is a powerful way to support the Ollara Network while earning passive rewards. Here’s why it matters:

* **Passive Earnings**: Delegators earn a share of the rewards generated by the Reputer's performance.
* **Network Security**: Your stake helps secure the Ollara ecosystem and build trust in its reputation layer.
* **Enhanced Accuracy**: Larger stakes enable Reputers to provide more robust and credible loss evaluations.
* **Withdrawal Safeguard**: A built-in withdrawal delay protects the network from rapid-exit or flash attacks.
