Description
The paper examines the effects of providing validators with status on transaction verification performance in blockchains (e.g., Delegated Proof-of-Stake). In particular, the paper focuses on how status regain (i.e., validators having lost status but regaining it) affects their performance and whether the effect of status regain diminishes over time. It is argued that losing status may induce behavioral changes once they regain status. However, it is not clear how losing and regaining status might affect, positively or negatively, validators’ performance in transaction verification. The results indicate that status regain positively impacts their performance in transaction verifications. Further, we find that the length of status loss negatively moderates the impact of status regain on performance. Also, we find that the status position before status loss positively moderates the impact of status regain on performance. Implications of the results for practice and research are discussed.

Status Regain and Validator Performance: Evidence from Blockchain Platform
The paper examines the effects of providing validators with status on transaction verification performance in blockchains (e.g., Delegated Proof-of-Stake). In particular, the paper focuses on how status regain (i.e., validators having lost status but regaining it) affects their performance and whether the effect of status regain diminishes over time. It is argued that losing status may induce behavioral changes once they regain status. However, it is not clear how losing and regaining status might affect, positively or negatively, validators’ performance in transaction verification. The results indicate that status regain positively impacts their performance in transaction verifications. Further, we find that the length of status loss negatively moderates the impact of status regain on performance. Also, we find that the status position before status loss positively moderates the impact of status regain on performance. Implications of the results for practice and research are discussed.
