Nominated Proof of Stake

Polkadot's variant: nominators back validator candidates with their own slashable stake, and an election algorithm (Phragmén-style) picks the active set while spreading stake as evenly as possible across it. Nominators share both rewards and slashing, so delegation carries real risk unlike most DPoS designs.
