Activation Period
In some protocols, a certain period of time needs to pass before a delegator's stake starts earning rewards. This period is set by the protocol and cannot be influenced by the validator.
If marked 'Custom' (e.g. Skale), the activation period depends on when the delegator submitted the delegation transaction. In the Skale network, a new epoch begins on the first of every calendar month, so if a delegator submits his/her transaction e.g. on the 15th, he/she needs to wait ~two weeks until his/her stake starts earning rewards.

Protocol Mechanics
For better classification, differentiation and comparability of different Blockchain networks, we identified different Protocol Mechanics.
Staking Mechanics
Staking Mechanics refer to the token economics, which is a new branch of the economy that explains the structure of a particular ecosystem in the blockchain sphere. It describes the study, design, and implementation of economic systems built on blockchain technology. Each platform and blockchain application is developed under its own token-economics model.
Proof-of-Stake blockchains not only differ in terms of their 'Protocol Mechanics', but also in terms of certain staking-related parameters, e.g. their reward or inflation rate as well as certain actions that are required by delegators.
