Majority of the chain companies consider staking as technical position. You run a node, keep uptime, update, and so on... or you delegate and forget. It is all right with power users but restricts participation. Decentralization is disadvantaged in the long run in case only a small group can easily stake.
The Hyperstaking concept by Dusk is straightforward: package staking as a product experience, something that the network can package. Dusk is designed to support staking pools being controlled by smart contracts as opposed to just staking inside node software. Simply put: the chain is capable of supporting staking applications that feel like apps, including: join a pool, stake, earn, track rewards, without everyone having to operate infrastructure.
Why this is important to Dusk in specific: Dusk is a finance company. Finance requires fixed networks. Tiny validator club networks are not required to provide stable networks. Hyperstaking will reduce friction to enable more individuals to help and be rewarded, without losing the staking being in line with the long-term infrastructure vision of Dusk.
According to Dusk, hyperstaking brings expanded participation, more user-friendly staking UX and enhanced network security in the long run.
