TLDR; When investors evaluate the risks associated with Staking Yields, they are
usually considering smart contract security risk, economic risk and perhaps
regulatory/compliance risk. In this post, we make the case that there’s also an
opportunity cost risk behind staking that an investor often overlooks. This
is the risk of participating in a staking network as a validator as opposed to
simply staying put on your initial cryptoassets. Our thesis is that this facet of
risk will come under increased scrutiny as more Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks
come online.
