-Staked assets will appear in a user's [staking account](./../protocol/0013-ACCT-accounts.md) once the Vega network sees the relevant `Stake_Deposited` event(s) with enough confirmations (defined by a network parameter). As the staked tokens will be used for [governance](./../protocol/0028-GOVE-governance.md), the governance will weight votes based on the staking account balance instead of the general account balance. Delegation functionality will also use the staking account balance as the source of truth for the maximum number of delegated tokens.
