Could you please elaborate on the potential risks involved in staking Solana? I'm particularly concerned about the possibility of losing my stake. Could you explain the scenarios where this might occur? Are there any known vulnerabilities or security issues that could compromise my stake? Additionally, what measures should I take to mitigate these risks and ensure the safety of my Solana stake? Your insight and advice would be greatly appreciated.

One such risk is the process of "slashing," where delegators could potentially lose tokens.

To attract delegators, validators may engage in a competitive market by offering lower commissions for their services.

Currently, the Solana protocol does not incorporate this competitive aspect.

However, it is conceivable that in the future, delegators may be exposed to risks when staking.
