Staking keys

Also known as: consensus keys

Validator/consensus keys distinct from withdrawal and user spending keys.

Definition

Proof-of-stake systems separate duties: consensus signing keys versus withdrawal credentials and ordinary wallets.

Quantum inventories must label these roles separately—compromise impacts differ (liveness vs fund control).
