Governance
Three independent contracts cover staking, validator delegation and proposal voting. All are deployed and carry live state.

What each does
| Staking | Stake KNYX directly and earn rewards |
| Delegation | Assign stake to a validator, who takes a commission |
| Voting | Create and vote on proposals |
Staking versus delegation
Both lock KNYX and pay rewards, but they are separate contracts with separate pools.
Staking is direct: you stake, you earn, no intermediary.
Delegation assigns your stake to a validator who earns on your behalf and takes a commission from the rewards. In return, the validator does the work of running infrastructure.
Both have an unbonding period
Withdrawing is not immediate. Stake enters an unbonding period before the principal can be collected, which is what makes the security guarantee meaningful. Plan exits ahead.

Chain-level staking is separate
These contracts are application-level, deployed on the EVM. The chain's own validator set — the one that produces blocks and is governed by Tendermint — is managed with the kriptonyxd CLI and the Cosmos staking module. If you are running a node, see Running a validator.
