# Delegated Proof of Stake

Having covered DPoW, let’s move on to another important pillar of the Satoshi Plus consensus, DPoS. DPoS allows holders of both CORE tokens to vote and participate in the election of the validator set by delegating their holdings to their preferred validators. Because there is only a very small minimum staking requirement (of one CORE token), all CORE holders can contribute to the governance of the Core network.
