The staking ratio is the share of the total QRL 2.0 supply that is actively staked by validators securing the Proof-of-Stake chain. A higher ratio means more of the supply is committed to consensus (and less is liquid). It is the most-watched PoS health metric. QRL 2.0-only — the Proof-of-Work chain has no staking.

FAQ about this chart
Common questions about this page+
What is the staking ratio?
It is the fraction of the total QRL 2.0 coin supply that validators have staked to secure the Proof-of-Stake chain, shown as a percentage. It is computed as the sum of all active validators' effective balances divided by the total supply (genesis allocation plus emission).
Is a higher staking ratio better?
Broadly yes — more staked supply means more economic security and less liquid supply available to sell, though an extremely high ratio can reduce liquidity. There is no single “correct” level; it is most useful as a trend and in comparison to other chains (Ethereum sits around 32%).
Why is there no staking ratio for the Proof-of-Work chain?
Staking only exists on QRL 2.0, the Proof-of-Stake chain. The original chain is Proof-of-Work — it is secured by mining, not staked validators — so there is nothing to plot and the chart carries a “QRL 2.0 only” badge.
