-### Slot Auction
-
-To secure a [parachain](#parachain) slot, a project must win an auction by [pledging](#term-to-avoid-pledge) (locking
-up) a significant amount of DOT tokens. These tokens are used as [collateral](#collateral) to secure the slot for a
-specified period. Once the slot is secured, the project can launch and operate its [parachain](#parachain).

-### Staking
-
-Staking is when DOT holders lock up their tokens to support the network's security and operations. In
-return, they can earn rewards. There are two main roles involved in staking:
-
-- **Validators**:
- Validators produce new blocks, validate transactions, and secure the network.
- They are selected based on their stake and performance.
- Validators must run a [node](#node) and have the technical capability to maintain it.
-
-- **Nominators**: Nominators support the network by backing (nominating) validators they trust
- with their DOT tokens. Nominators share in the rewards earned by the validators they support. This allows DOT holders
- who don't want to run a validator node to still participate in the network's security and earn rewards.
-
-Our parachain will use staking to back up the [collators](#collator) similarly to "Nominators".
-In this regard, "Nominators" will fall to [Storage Providers](#storage-provider),
-while " Validators" will be assigned to [Collators](#collator) accordingly.

-
-It's better to apply this term within its proper context rather than avoiding it altogether. It's easy to confuse it
