Protocol Category
Web 3.0 is built upon a layered stack of interoperable networks. It is difficult to draw clear lines between each layer of the stack as boundaries tend to blur between each layer. However, the model helps to better conceptualize Web 3.0. It also provides points of reference for investment decisions in a highly heterogeneous, fragmented Web 3.0 ecosystem. We borrow heavily from the work of Multicoin Capital and highly recommend reading their comprehensive, in-depth article about 'the Web3 stack'.

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.
