While some chains prioritize speed and parallelism, others focus on ecosystem maturity and tooling.

This architectural approach positions Monad as a potential bridge between Ethereum's developer ecosystem and the performance capabilities seen in alternative Layer 1 solutions. For teams working within the Ethereum ecosystem, this could reduce friction when exploring higher-throughput environments. <br><br>Monad’s EVM compatibility allows for easy implementation of bridging solutions and cross-chain applications, eliminating the need to build an entirely new ecosystem. This approach drives both increased adoption and accessibility, as developers can leverage their existing expertise within a familiar framework.</p><h1 id="monadbft-a-new-consensus-approach"><strong>MonadBFT: A New Consensus Approach</strong></h1><p>Monad introduces the MonadBFT, a custom consensus protocol purpose-built to deliver high throughput, fast finality, and strong guarantees in adversarial conditions. It introduces several design choices that address real-world pain points in modern BFT systems without sacrificing performance or decentralization. Here are the key features:</p><ul><li><strong>Tail-Fork Resistance</strong>: Prevents malicious leaders from forking recent blocks for MEV. Once a proposal reaches quorum, the next leader must build on it, ensuring stability.<br></li><li><strong>Linear Communication Complexity</strong>: Keeps communication efficient as the validator set grows. MonadBFT scales smoothly, maintaining performance in large, decentralized networks.<br></li><li><strong>Speculative Finality in One Round</strong>: Transactions are finalized after one round of validator votes, offering near-instant confirmations and a better user experience.</li></ul><p><em>For technical details, the Monad Foundation has published a whitepaper titled "</em><a href="https://x.com/monad_xyz/status/1907471952710865382?ref=p2p.org"><em><u>MonadBFT: Fast, Responsive, Fork-Resistant Streamlined Consensus</u></em></a><em>" that outlines the complete protocol specifications.</em></p><h1 id="how-does-monad-perform-vs-ethereum-and-solana"><strong>How does Monad perform vs. Ethereum, and Solana?</strong></h1><p>While Ethereum and Solana have set important milestones in scalability and ecosystem growth, Monad introduces a design that aims to blend both best without compromising performance or decentralization.

<p>In decentralized finance, one question stands above all others: "How much money am I actually making?" While this seems straightforward, the unique mechanics of DeFi—with its staking rewards, rebasing tokens, and other activities—make traditional profit-tracking methods inadequate.</p><p>In this guide, we're breaking down Lambda DeFi's inclusive approach to Profit and Loss (<strong><em>PnL</em></strong>) calculation, providing Wallets with the tools to help their users truly understand their portfolio performance.</p><h2 id="the-foundation-what-pnl-really-means-in-defi"><strong>The Foundation: What PnL Really Means in DeFi</strong></h2><p>At its core, PnL (<em>Profit and Loss</em>) is the <strong>total measure of your portfolio performance</strong>, expressed by a simple but powerful formula:</p><p><em>PnL = Unrealized Profit + Realized Profit</em></p><p>Let's dissect these components to understand what's actually happening with your assets:</p><h3 id="unrealized-profit-explained"><strong>Unrealized Profit Explained</strong></h3><p>Unrealized profit represents value changes in assets you still hold. This includes:</p><ul><li>Market value increases of tokens in your wallet</li><li>Accumulated but unclaimed staking rewards</li><li>Growth in rebasing tokens like stETH (where your token balance automatically increases)</li><li>Any accrued yield that hasn't been harvested</li></ul><p>The key characteristic: these profits <strong>exist "on paper" but haven't been captured in your wallet</strong> as separate assets yet.</p><h3 id="realized-profit-explained"><strong>Realized Profit Explained</strong></h3><p>Realized profit comes from completed transactions where you've locked in your gains or losses:</p><ul><li>Profits from selling tokens at a higher price than purchase</li><li>Claimed staking rewards that now sit in your wallet</li><li>Yield farming returns you've harvested</li><li>Any asset you've unwrapped, swapped, or converted to another form</li></ul><p>Both unrealized and realized profits can be negative when asset values decrease or when you sell at a loss.</p><h2 id="a-real-world-example-the-eth-investment-scenario"><strong>A Real-World Example: The ETH Investment Scenario</strong></h2><p>To make this concrete, let's examine a simple scenario:</p><p>A user purchases 1 ETH for $2,000.

<p>If you're one of the early adopters who deposited assets into Symbiotic's pre-deposit vaults, it's time to consider making a move. These pre-deposit vaults served an important purpose during Symbiotic's initial launch phase, but they were never intended to be the permanent home for your assets. In this guide, we'll walk you through why you should migrate and provide a simple step-by-step process to do so.</p><h2 id="what-is-symbiotic"><strong>What Is Symbiotic?</strong></h2><p>Before jumping into migration details, let's look at what Symbiotic actually does and why it's different from traditional staking.</p><p>Think of Symbiotic as a marketplace where economic security is bought and sold. It creates a win-win situation:</p><ul><li>Networks that need security can purchase it.</li><li>Asset holders (like you) can earn points by providing that security.</li></ul><p>What makes this special is that your staked assets can secure multiple networks simultaneously. This means more efficient use of your capital and potentially better network rewards for you.</p><p>Symbiotic works through three main participants:</p><ul><li><strong>Stakers (you)</strong> - You provide assets through vault deposits and earn network rewards</li><li><strong>Networks</strong> - These are blockchain projects that pay for security to operate safely</li><li><strong>Operators</strong> - Companies like P2P.org that run the actual infrastructure and do the technical work</li></ul><p>To keep everything honest, independent "<em>Resolvers</em>" monitor the system and protect against unfair penalties. They're like the referees making sure the rules are followed.</p><h2 id="why-you-should-migrate-from-pre-deposit-vaults"><strong>Why You Should Migrate From Pre-Deposit Vaults</strong></h2><p>Pre-deposit vaults were created as temporary holding solutions before Symbiotic's full functionality launched. Think of them as the waiting room before the main event. While your assets are safe in these vaults, they aren't working as efficiently as they could be.</p><h2 id="key-limitations-of-pre-deposit-vaults"><strong>Key limitations of pre-deposit vaults:</strong></h2><ul><li><strong>Lower point accrual rates</strong> compared to live vaults</li><li><strong>Limited operator selection</strong></li><li>No active participation in the network ecosystem</li><li>Reduced network reward potential</li></ul><h2 id="benefits-of-migrating-to-live-vaults"><strong>Benefits of Migrating to Live Vaults</strong></h2><p>Live vaults represent a significant upgrade for your assets. Here's why moving makes sense:</p><ol><li><strong>Enhanced Point Accrual</strong><br>Pre-deposit vaults generate fewer Symbiotic points compared to live vaults. Points are crucial for potential future ecosystem benefits.</li><li><strong>Active Ecosystem Participation</strong><br>Live vaults are fully integrated into the Symbiotic ecosystem, allowing your assets to participate in securing networks and generating value.</li><li><strong>Operator Quality</strong><br>Live vaults are managed by reputable operators (including P2P.org) with proven track records in the staking ecosystem. This means your assets are being leveraged by experienced infrastructure providers who maintain high uptime, implement robust security practices, and optimize for performance.</li><li><strong>Future-Proofing</strong><br>As Symbiotic continues to evolve, live vaults will be first in line for new features, integrations, and opportunities.</li><li><strong>Enhanced Capital Efficiency</strong><br>Live vaults implement advanced strategies to improve your capital efficiency. By optimizing how your assets are deployed across different networks within the Symbiotic ecosystem, they aim to deliver improved performance while maintaining appropriate risk parameters.</li><li><strong>Network Diversification</strong><br>By moving to live vaults, your assets gain exposure to a wider range of networks within the Symbiotic ecosystem. This diversification helps spread risk while potentially increasing rewards through multiple revenue streams.</li></ol><h1 id="step-by-step-migration-guide"><strong>Step-by-Step Migration Guide</strong></h1><p>Migrating your assets is a straightforward process that takes just a few minutes.

Under the current system, these penalties can be significant, but the Pectra update is about to change that in your favor.</p><h3 id="why-does-slashing-happen"><strong>Why Does Slashing Happen?</strong></h3><p>Slashing occurs in three specific situations, and understanding them helps explain why professional management is crucial:</p><p><strong>Double Proposals</strong> (Proposing two different blocks for the same slot)</p><ol><ul><li>Think of this as sending two different versions of the same email. This usually happens due to technical issues with the validator setup such as using the same keys in multiple setups.</li><li>Professional operators like P2P.org have sophisticated systems to prevent this.</li></ul></ol><p><strong>Double Voting</strong> (Two different votes in the same slot)</p><ol><ul><li>Similar to marking two different answers on a test. This is the most common cause of slashing.</li><li>This usually also occurs when the same keys are used in multiple setups or the validator software has database issues.</li></ul></ol><p>Instead of handling raw keys (which creates risk), we implement Threshold Signature Schemes (TSS), which split one validator key into<strong> three separate shards</strong>, requiring any two shards to create a valid signature. <br><br>This 2-of-3 approach provides:</p><ol><ul><ol><li>Enhanced security: No single point stores the complete key</li><li>Operational flexibility: Enables node maintenance without missing attestations</li><li>Failover protection: The system remains operational even if one shard is compromised.</li></ol></ul></ol><p><strong>Surround Voting</strong> (Making conflicting votes about the chain's history)</p><ol><ul><li>This is like giving contradictory testimonies about the same event.</li><li>This can happen if a validator either has a database problem, uses multiple keys, is affected by a bug, or is involved in malicious activity.</li><li>Professional management ensures proper synchronization at all times.</li></ul></ol><p><strong><em>The good news?</em></strong> When it comes to slashing incidents, the data is reassuring: 90% are caused by double voting, 10% by double proposals, and none by surround voting. These incidents are extremely rare and typically occur when validator keys are mistakenly used across multiple validators. Working with professional operators who follow strict security protocols virtually eliminates these risks. </p><p><strong>At P2P.org, we have:</strong></p><ul><li>Advanced slashing protection systems</li><li>Real-time 24/7 monitoring of validator performance</li><li>Immediate response protocols for any anomalies</li><li>Regular system audits and updates</li></ul><div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://www.p2p.org/networks/ethereum?ref=p2p.org#form" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Start Staking with P2P.org</a></div><h3 id="how-slashing-works"><strong>How Slashing Works</strong></h3><p>Slashing is Ethereum's security mechanism that penalizes validators who break protocol rules. When a violation occurs, three distinct penalties come into play:</p><ol><li>The <strong>Initial Penalty</strong> is applied immediately when a violation is detected. Currently, it's set at 1 ETH for every 32 ETH staked. This acts as the immediate consequence for breaking protocol rules.</li><li>The <strong>Inactivity Penalty</strong> accumulates during the withdrawal period because the validator can no longer perform their duties. For a 32 ETH validator, this is currently around 0.057 ETH (as of February 2025), though the exact amount depends on the total effective balance of all validators in the network.</li><li>The <strong>Correlation Penalty</strong> increases if other validators are slashed within an 18-day window before or after the incident. This design protects against coordinated attacks by making group slashing events exponentially more expensive than isolated incidents.</li></ol><p>When a validator commits a violation, another validator must spot it and submit proof. Once the network confirms the violation, the initial penalty is applied immediately, and the forced withdrawal period begins. During this time, the blockchain monitors for other slashing events that might trigger correlation penalties. This creates a balanced approach where technical issues face lighter penalties, while coordinated misbehavior receives harsher treatment.</p><h3 id="what-changes-with-pectra"><strong>What Changes with Pectra?</strong></h3><p>With the Pectra upgrade, we will experience a shift in how Ethereum handles slashing penalties, making staking significantly safer for participants:</p><h3 id="understanding-the-components"><strong>Understanding the Components </strong></h3><p>With the upcoming Pectra upgrade, all three components of slashing are going to change:</p><p>The <strong>Initial Penalty</strong> will be reduced from 1 ETH to 0.0078125 ETH per 32 ETH validator. This means that small technical mistakes or isolated incidents become far less costly. For a validator with 2048 ETH (the new maximum), the initial penalty would be 0.5 ETH - still significant but much smaller than under the current system.</p><p>The <strong>Inactivity Penalty</strong> remains proportional to the validator's effective balance and continues through the 36-day withdrawal period. For context, with approximately 33.3M ETH staked (as of February 2025), a 32 ETH validator would face approximately 0.057096 ETH in inactivity penalties, while a 2048 ETH validator would see about 3.654152 ETH. These numbers vary based on changes in the total amount of ETH staked and base reward parameters.</p><p>The <strong>Correlation Penalty</strong> is where Pectra introduces improvements to maintain network security while being fairer to validators. The current system's correlation penalty can be uneven due to integer division effects, but Pectra implements a new formula that ensures proportional penalties regardless of validator size. This means a single 2048 ETH validator will face the same correlation penalty as sixty-four 32 ETH validators if the same total stake is affected.</p><h3 id="real-world-impact"><strong>Real-World Impact</strong></h3><p>Current System:</p><ul><li>A slashing incident affecting 32 ETH results in approximately 1.05 ETH in total penalties</li><li>This represents about 3.28% of the staked amount</li></ul><p>After Pectra:</p><ul><li>The same incident would result in only about 0.06 ETH in penalties</li><li>This represents just 0.19% of the staked amount</li></ul><p>This reduction in penalties won’t compromise network security because the correlation penalty still provides adequate protection against large-scale attacks. If a significant portion of validators (approaching 1/3 of total stake) are slashed simultaneously, the penalties can still result in complete stake loss, effectively deterring coordinated malicious behavior.</p><p>This is a risk reduction that makes staking significantly safer for conservative investors. When combined with P2P.org's professional management and customized risk assessment, <strong>you get a sophisticated level of protection for your stake.</strong></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf5ZLIFO15ECwt9FVGVzP_8QdR2KMdp5meyM2c1MYDvrtnQuzMNo6F9KEpq0HbHLb-etLppP7r96_uF_2NcJE7gNYJH6qCDZbjNv5ctr_JCI-Ktw0N-rcExXzneLB9StmHu-q91ow?key=Z5eK-GkRd-O7PM9Klu8-_q4d" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1600" height="788"></figure><p><em>Img:</em> <em>Comparison of Pre-Pectra and Post-Pectra penalties</em></p><h2 id="why-professional-management-matters"><strong>Why Professional Management Matters</strong></h2><p>The importance of professional validator management becomes clear when we examine the data on slashing incidents. According to our models, the time taken to respond to an incident significantly impacts the amount of stake affected. For a 4096 ETH cluster, <strong>a 25-minute response time results in about 0.02% of stake being affected</strong>, while a slower <strong>3-hour response increases this to around 0.1%</strong> - a fivefold increase in impact.</p><p>This difference becomes even more striking when we look at pre-Pectra penalties. The same scenarios under current rules would result in penalties of 12 ETH for quick responses versus 52 ETH for slower responses, with a significant portion coming from the initial penalty. Even though Pectra reduces the initial slashing penalty dramatically (from 1 ETH to 0.0078125 ETH for 32 ETH validators), the speed of response remains crucial.</p><p>Professional management makes a substantial difference in minimizing these risks. Automation tools can reduce response time to a single slot, significantly decreasing the potential for subsequent slashing events. This is particularly important because slashing incidents typically begin with an "alerting event" followed by potential "subsequent slashing events" that continue until the issue is resolved.</p><p>The data shows that professional management with rapid response capabilities is crucial in reducing their impact when they occur. This becomes even more important in Pectra's environment of consolidated validators, where a single incident could affect larger amounts of stake.</p><p>After all, prevention is still the best strategy.

<h2 id="tldr"><strong>TLDR</strong></h2><ul><li><em>The Ethereum Pectra upgrade in March 2025 will introduce major improvements, including larger validators (up to 2048 ETH), auto-compounding, and enhanced staking efficiency.</em></li><li><a href="P2P.org" rel="noreferrer"><strong><em>P2P.org</em></strong></a><em><strong> is fully prepared for these changes</strong>, integrating Pectra’s features into our dApp, API, and staking services to increase rewards and streamline validator management.</em></li><li><em>By transitioning with P2P.org, stakers can optimize NRR (Network Reward Rate), reduce operational complexity, and take full advantage of Ethereum’s most significant upgrade.</em></li></ul><p>Mark your calendars for <strong>March 2025</strong>— One of the largest upgrades in Ethereum’s history is about to be released. The Pectra upgrade represents a complete reimagination of staking mechanics, unlocking new opportunities for <strong>validators, intermediaries, and DeFi users.</strong></p><p>As one of the <strong>largest non-custodial staking providers</strong>, <strong>P2P.org</strong> has worked hard over the last six months to prepare for and extensively test the upcoming changes, ensuring that our user base receives the best service and exceptional performance. </p><p>We are ready to provide our users with everything that will provide significant improvements, from <strong>automatic compounding to updated validator economics. </strong>This blog post will dive deeper into the upcoming changes and how the Pectra upgrade will enhance Ethereum staking.</p><h2 id="redefining-validator-economics-the-foundation-of-pectra"><strong>Redefining Validator Economics: The Foundation of Pectra</strong></h2><p>At the core of Pectra is <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7251?ref=p2p.org"><strong><u>EIP-7251</u></strong></a>, a fundamental restructuring of validator economics. This proposal introduces <strong>validators with Max Effective Balances (MEB) of up to 2048 ETH</strong>, compared to today’s rigid 32 ETH limit. </p><p>While these enhanced validators maintain the standard attestation frequency of once per epoch (384 seconds), their attestations carry proportionally greater weight—up to 64 times more than a standard 32 ETH validator. This means that a 2048 ETH validator has the same voting power as 64 individual 32 ETH validators, significantly increasing its influence in finalizing blocks and improving consensus efficiency. Additionally, the probability of block proposals scales proportionally, allowing larger validators to propose blocks more frequently while maintaining Ethereum’s overall security and decentralization.</p><p>This can be illustrated in a simple real-life example:</p><p><em>Twenty independent <strong>32 ETH validators</strong> will generate the same rewards as a <strong>single 640 ETH validator</strong>.</em></p><p>Operators can drastically reduce operational costs with this upgrade, translating into higher profitability. By optimizing validator economics in this way, we’re paving the way for <strong>more competitive</strong> staking opportunities. As a result, we are positioned to <strong>offer the best NRR (Network Reward Rate) in the market</strong>.</p><h2 id="auto-compounding-unlocking-exceptional-nrr-and-staking-efficiency"><strong>Auto-Compounding: Unlocking exceptional NRR and Staking Efficiency</strong></h2><p>One of the most significant user-facing changes with Pectra is the introduction of <strong>auto-compounding for Consensus Layer rewards</strong>. This feature can be enabled by either consolidating two 0x01 validators into one 0x02 validator, updating credentials on an existing validator, or spinning up a new 0x02 one. For our <strong>dApp</strong>, we are introducing <strong>intuitive validator merging flows</strong>, allowing users to <strong>batch-merge existing validators</strong> (since Pectra’s smart contracts currently permit only two at a time). </p><p>Previously, Consensus layer rewards (which account for <strong>~75% of total staking rewards</strong>) were sent directly to withdrawal addresses. With the new <strong>0x02 validators</strong>, these rewards are automatically re-delegated into the validator, providing the opportunity to produce extra returns and enhance long-term NRR. </p><h3 id="the-benefits-of-auto-compounding"><strong>The benefits of auto-compounding:</strong></h3><p>For Validators operating at <strong>base ETH (CL+EL) NRR of 3.2%</strong>, auto-compounding gradually increases staking returns, for example:</p><ul><li>After 1 year, APR can rise to approximately<strong> 3.24%</strong></li><li>After 5 years, APR approximately increases to<strong> 3.42%</strong></li></ul><p>While these numbers may seem marginal, the <strong>cumulative effect is substantial</strong>. Over five years, an auto-compounded validator <strong>generates approximately 5.47 ETH</strong>, compared to <strong>5.12 ETH for a non-compounded validator</strong>. With ETH at current market prices, this difference <strong>translates to over $1,000 in additional rewards from the network per validator</strong>.</p><p>However, there is a <strong>critical threshold</strong>—auto-compounding only works if the validator remains <strong>below 2048 ETH</strong>. Once this limit is reached, all rewards will be distributed to the withdrawal address, effectively stopping the compounding effect.</p><p>To maintain auto-compounding for as long as possible, P2P.org will cap the maximum validator balance at 1,920 ETH, providing a runway of <strong>over two years before reaching the limit</strong>. This strategic approach ensures that users can continue to be eligible for returns and <strong>stake efficiently without interruptions</strong>. By setting this cap, we can maintain a consistent and sustainable growth model, allowing us to provide optimal returns during this timeframe. This ensures that our users not only have a reliable staking experience but also benefit from optimized returns over the long term, with <strong>no concerns about disruption in returns</strong>.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcUcPYRWl6RRQnWRgDzm_yQuOgDYzxOvIb211j-6VZSQreSMhncEVY8yBBaWbNuY6CoIIHbmUvcDwe_FkzuSBF1nuFh-1qeMZjXg3jobpbtMlkaXj_S-Z3QiZStaSkG379XjAtC?key=tD7TinndwUWXMIxFWc2Iy7g9" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1181" height="636"></figure><p></p><p><strong>Partial Withdrawals</strong></p><p>Another key feature of Pectra is the ability to perform partial withdrawals. Unlike the previous system, where users would need to fully exit their 32 ETH validator to withdraw a significant portion of their staked ETH, partial withdrawals now allow users to remove a portion of their balance while the validator remains active. </p><p>For example, if you have 64 ETH staked, you can now withdraw 20 ETH without needing to exit the validator entirely. This increased flexibility ensures that users can manage their staked ETH more efficiently, giving them more control over their assets without compromising their staking participation.</p><h2 id="the-roadmap-to-higher-nrr"><strong>The Roadmap to Higher NRR </strong></h2><p>P2P.org’s <a href="https://eth.p2p.org/auth?ref=p2p.org"><u>Ethereum staking suite</u></a> is already designed to provide <strong>flexible and high-performance staking solutions</strong> through our <strong>dApp, API, and DVT API</strong> (optimized for SSV-based distributed validators and additional reward mechanisms). After the Pectra upgrade, API and dApp native stakers will be able to access its core features, including Max Effective Balance increases, auto-compounding, and partial withdrawals - for restaking and other strategies, we need to wait on 3rd party timelines and implementations. </p><p>This means developers and institutional stakers can easily implement Pectra’s benefits into their day-to-day operations.</p><h3 id="the-transition-to-pectra-with-p2porg"><strong>The transition to Pectra with P2P.org</strong></h3><p>To ensure a smooth transition for all our staking users and newly onboarded clients, our engineering teams are working on the following:</p><ul><li><strong>Developing new user flows</strong> for merging validators under Pectra’s new staking mechanics.</li><li><strong>Enhancing monitoring tools and security protocols</strong> to adapt to the new validator structure.</li><li><strong>Implementing sophisticated compounding mechanisms</strong> to leverage Pectra’s economic model fully.</li></ul><h3 id="where-we-are-right-now"><strong>Where we are right now</strong></h3><p>Our roadmap to being the provider with the <strong>highest NRR </strong> and <strong>exceptional Execution Layer rewards</strong> includes:</p><ul><li>Initiatives to increase execution layer reward strategies for all our validator setups.</li><li>Collaborating on Mainnet releases with preconfirmation protocols like <a href="https://cyber.fund/content/bolt?ref=p2p.org"><u>Bolt</u></a>, <a href="https://docs.ethgas.com/?ref=p2p.org"><u>ETHGas</u></a>, and <a href="https://primev.xyz/?ref=p2p.org"><u>Primev</u></a> to increase rewards.</li><li>Significantly increase the returns and boosts on <a href="https://www.p2p.org/products/dvt-staking?ref=p2p.org"><u>DVT validators</u></a>.</li></ul><p>Since its inception in 2018, <a href="P2P.org" rel="noreferrer"><strong>P2P.org</strong></a><strong> has consistently prioritized performance optimization</strong>, and in 2024, we have made significant strides toward becoming the <strong>best-performing staking operator on Ethereum</strong>.

Mellow provides both a user-friendly interface and the underlying protocol infrastructure, enabling the creation of Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs).</p><p>At the core of the vault's functionality is Symbiotic - a permissionless restaking protocol that offers flexible mechanisms for decentralized networks to coordinate node operators and security providers. The protocol's flexible and neutral design provides unique benefit for Mellow users.</p><p>Mellow allows the permissionless creation of modular LRTs (Liquid Restaking Tokens). It offers a series of vault smart contracts with different and unique properties, managed by LRT curators. One of these LRTs is rstETH, which represents an innovative approach to liquid restaking.

Remember, the metrics are only estimations, so take the time to assess everything carefully and ensure they align with your goals before proceeding.</p> <p>c) Please pay attention that behind the scenes, the protocol will borrow wstETH to put them into the rstETH vault.

This update marks a significant milestone, introducing a shift from delegation to direct staking—unlocking the potential opportunity for <strong>3x staking rewards from the network</strong>.</p><p>The shift from delegation to staking isn't just a technicality, this move directly benefits bakers and delegators. With this upgrade, Tezos users will have more control while being eligible for greater rewards.</p><p>Do you want to know how you can reap these rewards?<br><br>Keep reading—we've broken it all down for you. Plus, if you're ready to dive in now, we've got everything you need to know to use the institutional-grade P2P.org infrastructure.</p><h3 id="the-new-staking-model-what%E2%80%99s-changed"><strong>The New Staking Model: What’s Changed?</strong></h3><p>With the Quebec protocol upgrade, Tezos has introduced a significant change for stakers. Instead of delegating your XTZ to a baker, you can now stake directly with the protocol <strong>(for the first time ever, you can use P2P.org infrastructure directly to secure the Tezos network!)</strong>, adding another layer of security.</p><p>The Quebec protocol upgrade builds on the significant changes introduced in the previous <a href="https://research-development.nomadic-labs.com/paris-is-live.html?ref=p2p.org"><u>Paris upgrade</u></a>, most notably a new staking mechanism that makes it possible for individuals to stake for the first time. Now, instead of just delegating your XTZ to a baker (<strong>like our P2P.org infrastructure</strong>), you can choose to stake with us as well and help us secure the Tezos network. While staking rewards were set to 2x delegation rewards from the network with Paris, Quebec has now elevated staking rewards to 3x delegation rewards, making it more beneficial to stake.</p><h3 id="tezos-staking-101"><strong>Tezos Staking 101</strong></h3><ol><li><strong>Delegation vs. Staking:</strong> Before, you could delegate your XTZ to a baker, and in return, you would receive rewards from your baker based on how much you delegated while keeping your tez liquid. With staking now possible as a second way to earn, you can lock your XTZ with a baker and enjoy rewards that are accrued directly on a protocol level.<br></li><li><strong>Higher Risk, Higher Reward</strong>: Staking does expose you to slashing risks, which makes it extremely important for you to choose a reputable baker like P2P.org to reduce this risk. While slashing has happened only a few times in Tezos’ history, it is one of the features that differ from delegation.<br></li><li><strong>3x Rewards:</strong> If you’re currently delegating with a baker, you will have the opportunity to triple your rewards by choosing to stake with them. By staking your XTZ in addition to delegation, XTZ can enhance your network rewards significantly, which start accruing immediately.<br></li></ol><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://lh7-qw.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcyB9_SzgYnxmr0J6vv3YrCH7iSVz8Kg77UbTN7fuJf2ghtA0f4eb7danABdYJZW7WPn5vxF3Z7Br0gsDIsE3RNr3JmP7ILCzU_We9xW6j47h7mJHcNKTTAw1tWGvtLzYMErKLuOg?key=IfGfKxwjwFIQrh7Yz6mzlTvu" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1600" height="900"><figcaption><i><em class="italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Tezos Staking vs. Delegation</em></i></figcaption></figure><p><br><br><strong>Tezos Staking vs. Delegation:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Staking</strong>: You have the opportunity to earn 3x the rewards from the network, directly added to your balance, automatically compounded.</li><li><strong>Delegation</strong>: The rewards from the network go to the baker for redistribution.</li></ul><h2 id="simple-and-efficient-staking"><strong>Simple and Efficient Staking</strong></h2><p>For users (like you!), staking XTZ means increased rewards compared to delegation.

<p></p><h2 id="tldr"><strong>TL;DR</strong><br></h2><ul><li><em>We propose a one-time restorative action plan for an early investor whose tokens were uniquely locked at the State Chain FLIP Gateway level due to a mistake made during the staking process. </em></li><li><em>This proposal is a refined and clearer version of the</em><a href="https://discord.com/channels/824147014140952596/1199013596097683606?ref=p2p.org"><em> <u>previously withdrawn proposal</u></em></a><em>, incorporating community feedback and addressing past misunderstandings.</em></li></ul><p>To address this, we recommend reassigning the existing locked tokens within the State Chain FLIP Gateway to the correct accounts, <em>without minting or burning additional tokens</em>. This reallocation will be managed in a way that maintains community trust and includes a reallocation fee to support both community and project development.</p><h2 id="background"><strong>Background</strong></h2><p>During Chainflip’s bootstrapping phase following the FLIP token launch on November 23, 2023, errors in our staking process resulted in tokens being sent to non-existent validator addresses. The complexity of the process, combined with miscommunication and inadequate safeguards, led to this issue. Specifically, the following factors contributed:</p><ul><li>We failed to ensure clear instructions, leading to confusion and mistakes.</li><li>We made assumptions without thoroughly verifying staked amounts after transactions were submitted.</li><li>We mixed up Ethereum key pairs and Chainflip-native key pairs as non-SS58 addresses in smart contract interaction were accepted.</li></ul><p>A detailed chronological breakdown of this incident can be found in the Historical context section.</p><p>We take full responsibility for this mistake. The staking process has since matured significantly and now includes safeguards that make issues such as this highly unlikely to occur again. At the same point in time, we recognize that this specific case still requires resolution.</p><h3 id="how-and-why-did-it-occur"><strong>How and why did it occur?</strong></h3><p>After the FLIP token launch, the Chainflip team shared<a href="https://www.notion.so/Lockup-A-B-Claiming-your-FLIP-e1bd3086eb0e48f293b5017528b3f4b9?pvs=21&ref=p2p.org"> <u>documentation</u></a> outlining multiple staking options. One critical instruction advised users to call the fundStateChainAccount function with the following:</p><p><em>... Node ID as the SS58-decoded representation of the node, or in ‘HEX’ format, which can be retrieved from the node operator.</em></p><p><a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org"><u>P2P.org</u></a> provided both the Ethereum and Chainflip-native addresses to stake to its customer. While initial test transactions were conducted correctly, unclear communication from our side led to the wrong address being used.</p><p>As a result, the transaction was made to the correct Ethereum contract, but the payload contained an incorrect address. Consequently, the tokens were locked in non-existent validator addresses, rendering them inaccessible to anyone.</p><h2 id="proposal"><strong>Proposal</strong></h2><p>We propose a one-time recovery option to restore the affected stake for the original token holders, Delphi Ventures and P2P.org Validator. This is our mistake, and we believe it is our responsibility to help resolve it. The recovery process will be implemented at <em>State Chain FLIP Gateway level</em>, ensuring no minting or change in the total supply.</p><h3 id="implementation-steps-fee-structure"><strong>Implementation steps & fee structure</strong></h3><p>To initiate the recovery process, we propose the following steps and fee structure, acknowledging that this service should not be without cost to the protocol or the community:</p><ol><li><strong>Operational cost fee</strong><br>A non-refundable fee of $10,000 USD, payable by the applicant, to support the core team’s operational costs for managing the recovery process.<br></li><li><strong>Community contribution fee</strong><br>A 15% fee on the total FLIP tokens requested for recovery, allocated to the cross chain foundation to cover community governance council costs and to allocate to other development projects. The applicant will pay this amount in advance to the designated foundation address.<br></li><li><strong>Claiming process</strong><br>After both the operational and community contribution fees are paid, the locked tokens will be transferred from the non-existent wallet addresses to the designated account within the State Chain FLIP Gateway.</li></ol><p>This fee structure ensures that the process remains sustainable, discouraging misuse and prioritizing genuine recovery cases, thus protecting the community’s resources and preventing delays due to opportunistic requests.</p><h3 id="implementation-details"><strong>Implementation details</strong></h3><ul><li>This recovery approach does not involve minting or burning any ERC-20 FLIP tokens, ensuring the total supply remains unchanged.</li><li>The process will be managed as an internal reallocation at the State Chain level, restoring access to the tokens without altering overall circulation.</li></ul><h2 id="conclusion"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2><p>We acknowledge that this mistake was ours, and we are taking action to correct it. This proposal offers a fair resolution for Delphi Ventures and P2P.org Validator, ensuring their rightful access to staked tokens without impacting the total supply.</p><p>This recovery will allow the affected parties to fully participate in the network while reinforcing our commitment to early contributors who supported Chainflip from the beginning. By taking this step, we aim to rebuild trust, strengthen community collaboration, and demonstrate the project’s dedication to fairness and resilience.</p><p>We encourage the community to support this proposal as a positive step forward for the Chainflip ecosystem.</p><hr><h2 id="historical-context-faq"><strong>Historical context & FAQ</strong><br></h2><h3 id="historical-context"><strong>Historical

<p>The Bitcoin staking movement is rapidly transforming how we think about Bitcoin’s utility. Once seen solely as a “store of value,” Bitcoin is now stepping into new realms of financial participation, thanks to innovative protocols like Babylon. With <strong>Cap 3 scheduled to launch on December 10th, around 11 a.m. UTC</strong>, this is the perfect moment to explore the opportunities Bitcoin staking offers. </p><p>Here’s why:</p><h2 id="1-rewards-on-your-idle-bitcoin">1. Rewards on Your Idle Bitcoin</h2><p>If you’re holding Bitcoin in your wallet or cold storage, chances are it’s sitting idle—not generating any additional value. While Bitcoin is celebrated as a store of value and an inflation hedge, it doesn’t provide passive income like staking assets in other ecosystems.</p><p>Babylon changes that. By participating in Bitcoin staking during Cap 3, you can earn rewards on your idle Bitcoin while maintaining complete control over your funds.</p><h2 id="2-non-custodial-staking-your-bitcoin-your-control">2. Non-Custodial Staking: Your Bitcoin, Your Control</h2><p>Babylon’s Bitcoin staking is fully non-custodial. Unlike traditional models, where users must bridge their BTC to multisig accounts, Babylon leverages Bitcoin’s UTXO time-lock mechanism. This native Bitcoin feature allows users to stake while keeping their funds secure. This ensures that your Bitcoin always stays under your control and remains in your wallet address, giving you the ability to unstake at any time by simply signing a transaction, with a 7-day unbonding period.</p><p>In an era where self-custody is more critical than ever, Babylon’s approach empowers users to secure their assets without compromising flexibility.</p><h2 id="3-opportunity-for-liquid-staking">3. Opportunity for Liquid Staking</h2><p>Babylon has built a thriving ecosystem of Bitcoin Liquid Staking Token protocols, including projects like Babypie, Lombard, Lorenzo Protocol, Solv, Bedrock, Pstake, and others. These protocols let you stake your Bitcoin and receive staked Bitcoin derivatives, which can be used in restaking protocols, liquidity provisioning, or participating in various DeFi activities.</p><p>With these LSTs, your assets become more liquid, giving you the flexibility to maximize rewards. Whether using your derivatives for DeFi strategies or simply staking, Babylon’s ecosystem opens up new opportunities to make your Bitcoin work harder for you, enabling users to earn more while completely controlling their funds.</p><h2 id="4-restaking-opportunities">4. Restaking opportunities</h2><p>With the rise of Babylon staking and Liquid Staking Tokens, we’re also seeing the emergence of restaking protocols. These protocols allow users to use their staked assets, such as liquid derivatives from Bitcoin staking, in additional staking opportunities across different ecosystems.</p><p>Restaking adds an entirely new layer of utility for staked assets, enabling users to maximize their yields. For example, staked Bitcoin derivatives can be restaked in other protocols to secure networks, provide liquidity, or participate in DeFi activities. This creates a compounding effect, where users earn rewards from the initial staking and the added activities enabled by restaking.</p><h2 id="5-a-growing-ecosystem-of-custodians-and-integrations">5. A Growing Ecosystem of Custodians and Integrations</h2><p>Babylon’s ecosystem rapidly expands, with significant players like Anchorage, Cobo, CeFu, and Fireblocks supporting Bitcoin staking. These partnerships provide institutional-grade infrastructure and reflect growing confidence in Babylon’s vision.</p><p>Babylon API integrations simplify staking for developers and institutions alike, making Bitcoin staking accessible to a broader audience.</p><h2 id="6-bitcoin-cap-3-details">6. Bitcoin Cap 3 details</h2><p>With Cap 3 opening on December 10th, 2024, the window of opportunity is limited. Early participants secure higher yields and position themselves as pioneers in this evolving space. Babylon’s transparent, non-custodial design and innovative features make it the ideal platform to begin your Bitcoin staking journey.</p><h3 id="duration">Duration:</h3><p>Cap 3 is duration-based, lasting 1,000 BTC blocks (~1 week). All valid staking transactions will be accepted without a TVL cap. Exact block heights will be announced 3 days in advance.</p><h3 id="staking-limits">Staking Limits:</h3><ul><li>Minimum: 0.005 BTC per transaction.</li><li>Maximum: Increased to 5,000 BTC (from 500 BTC in Cap 2).</li></ul><h3 id="unbonding-fee">Unbonding Fee:</h3><ul><li>0.00032 BTC per unbonding transaction (unchanged).</li></ul><h3 id="points-per-btc-block">Points Per BTC Block:</h3><ul><li>First 300 blocks: 100,000 points per BTC block.</li><li>Remaining 700 blocks and beyond 21,000 points per BTC block.</li><li>Points are allocated proportionally across active stakes (all caps).</li></ul><h3 id="legal-note">Legal Note:</h3><ul><li>Points have no monetary value, cannot be converted, traded, or redeemed, and are unavailable in some jurisdictions, including the U.S.</li></ul><h2 id="7-be-part-of-a-growing-movement">7. Be Part of a Growing Movement</h2><p>Bitcoin staking isn’t just about individual rewards—it’s about building Bitcoin's future as an active participant in decentralized finance. With protocols like Babylon paving the way, Bitcoin is no longer just a passive asset but a critical tool for governance, liquidity, and utility.</p><p>By joining Babylon during Cap 3, you’re aligning with a movement shaping the next phase of Bitcoin’s evolution.<br></p><h1 id="about-p2p-validator"><strong>About P2P Validator</strong></h1><p><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider, securing over $7 billion from over 10,000 delegators/nominators across 40+ high-class networks.

<p>Introducing Symbiotic, the latest innovation in the Restaking space!</p><p>With over $2B TVL in pre-stake collateral, Symbiotic poses a fascinating approach to the Restaking ecosystem, an abstraction that has garnered significant attention this year.</p><p>The Symbiotic team describes it as:</p><blockquote>a “cutting-edge permissionless staking protocol that enhances network security and capital efficiency. By enabling flexible and decentralized economic agreements, Symbiotic supports a wide range of applications and empowers network participants permissionless.”<br>source: <a href="https://symbiotic.fi/?ref=p2p.org">https://symbiotic.fi</a></blockquote><h2 id="the-layers-of-symbiotic"><br><strong>The Layers of Symbiotic</strong></h2><p></p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc09ygJ-JV16E_Fc1_zpQFAQdnd4DzPdPTnPSZtNzWV3Clmgj4kys24_vAf3fQxzPtt2HYFNnr36H7cRRXh6OwVb-Wzlh68mArkerIp573YcE27I8j3MEfce8Q7zR_wPM_hIc9pUYMrXRQ4aS4Cpm3JxOxR?key=_AIPlLzYw1B1zWtBxSM2WQ" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1600" height="900"></figure><p></p><p><strong>Collateral </strong>serves as the economic security layer, where users can deposit a variety of assets, including, but not limited to, ERC20 tokens, withdrawal credentials of Ethereum validators, or LP positions utilized in DeFi. Symbiotic’s mission is to be chain agnostic, where assets outside of the Ethereum ecosystem can be leveraged to secure Networks built on top of their platform.</p><p></p><p><strong>Vaults </strong>represent the (re)staking layer. They are responsible for delegating collateral to Operators either in a custom manner or via Operator-specific vaults. Furthermore, Symbiotic’s modular architecture allows vaults to manage accounting, delegation strategies, rewards distribution, slashing, and collateral specifications. This intermediary layer serves as a connecting point between Networks and operators, where users can delegate their assets.</p><p></p><p><strong>Operators</strong> are the engines that power Symbiotic’s respective Networks. These entities run infrastructure to maintain services required by Networks, so it is essential to delegate assets to an Operator with a strong reputation and track record (like <a href="P2P.org" rel="noreferrer">P2P.org</a>!).</p><p><strong>Resolvers</strong> are the checks and balances of Symbiotic. Since this platform is inherently flexible, resolutions for slashing can come in several different forms. Slashing terms are set at the vault level and can be passed to specific entities, smart contracts that review slashing penalties, or leverage external dispute resolution frameworks.</p><p></p><p><strong>Networks </strong>built on top of Symbiotic to attract economic security. These trust-minimized services include but are not limited to decentralized sequencing of transactions, off-chain consensus, and automation. In return for the economic security restakers and operators provide, networks create their own incentive mechanisms and slashing conditions to reward good actors and punish malicious behavior.</p><p></p><h2 id="symbiotic-value-proposition"><strong>Symbiotic Value Proposition</strong></h2><p></p><ol><li><strong>Asset support</strong>- Symbiotic’s goal is to create a thin unified coordination layer with nearly unlimited possibilities in asset support for vault collateral (ERC-20, chain agnostic, LP positions in DeFi)<ol><li>Note: Collateral designated by a vault must be agreed upon by both Operators and Networks for there to be a Symbiotic relationship ;)</li></ol></li><li><strong>Flexibility—</strong>Networks can adjust security parameters and utilize various assets to reach their optimal performance for economic security.</li><li><strong>Decentralized Resolution—</strong>Slashing is determined at the vault level and can be delegated to decentralized entities (which can also select more than one framework).</li><li><strong>Decentralized Architecture + Robust Security—</strong>Symbiotic’s core contracts are non-upgradeable which significantly reduces governance risks and eliminates points of failure</li></ol><p></p><h3 id="vault-coordination"><strong>Vault Coordination</strong></h3><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcBnzldKN0rknCu4_uZ7fnEni_ofhpepomfaavKU4YXHyzYBpnE5aWEmLxs5j8Z_NTxJm4lwcb3A0niwz0PgCI8_UK1NxH4D3b5EcAAY70qDheRaiJ1pHls4vd273MKA-fNu2sRDbYc3EQNTv3uQVz2LQVs?key=_AIPlLzYw1B1zWtBxSM2WQ" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1600" height="893"></figure><p><br><strong>For</strong> <strong>operator-specific vaults, a user deposits collateral into a Symbiotic vault of their choosing.
