<p>Following our announcement with Ton Whales, we're excited to introduce the first tangible product from this collaboration: a plug-and-play TON staking widget that gets platforms live with institutional-grade staking in under seven days.</p><p>This is the fastest path to TON staking revenue for exchanges, wallets, and custody platforms that want to offer staking without the complexity of custom development.</p><h2 id="staking-integrated-in-days"><strong>Staking, Integrated in Days</strong></h2><p>Traditional staking integrations require weeks or months of backend development, smart contract auditing, and operational setup. Our widget eliminates all of that.</p><p>The <strong>integration is straightforward</strong>: embed our widget component into your existing interface, customize the branding to match your platform, and your users can start staking immediately. No backend development, no smart contract management, no validator relationships to establish.</p><p>But speed doesn't mean sacrificing quality. The widget is powered by the same institutional-grade infrastructure with over $10 billion in staked assets across supported networks. Users interact with the fully audited TonWhales smart contract — the only TON staking contract that's been audited by both Quantstamp and Trail of Bits.</p><div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://ton.p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">INTEGRATE TON STAKING NOW</a></div><h2 id="technical-integration-simple-by-design"><strong>Technical Integration: Simple by Design</strong></h2><p>Whether you're running a mobile app, web platform, or desktop interface, the integration process is consistent and straightforward.</p><p>Key technical specifications:</p><ul><li><strong>Deployment time</strong>: Under one week from integration to live</li><li><strong>Development scope</strong>: Frontend-only implementation</li><li><strong>Compatibility</strong>: Works with TonKeeper, MyTonWallet, and all Ton Connect-compatible wallets</li><li><strong>Customization level</strong>: Full branding control with customizable colors, logos, and basic UI elements</li></ul><p>The widget works as a webview or iFrame component that embeds directly into your existing application, and maintains the non-custodial nature of the staking process.

<p></p><h2 id="tldr"><strong>TL;DR</strong></h2><ul><li><em>P2P.org and Ton Whales have eliminated TON staking's whale-only problem by dropping minimum requirements from 300,000 TON (as of May 2025) to just 10 TON with unlimited user capacity.</em></li><li><em>Exchanges, wallets, and custody platforms can now integrate institutional-grade TON staking in under a week through widget, API, or dApp solutions that offer competitive network rewards.</em></li><li><em>This collaboration transforms TON from an inaccessible staking network into a scalable infrastructure that will accelerate mainstream adoption across the Telegram ecosystem.</em></li></ul><p>P2P.org and Ton Whales have launched a collaboration that eliminates the barriers that have kept institutional-grade TON staking locked away from most users and platforms.</p><p>This isn’t another incremental improvement, but a fundamental shift in TON staking. It expands access to a broader range of participants and broadens how intermediaries can offer services to their users.</p><h2 id="the-whale-problem-gets-solved"><strong>The Whale Problem Gets Solved</strong></h2><p>TON staking has had accessibility limitations since day one. Traditional pools demand minimums between 10,000-300,000 TON and cap delegator participation at 1-40 users. For context, that's like requiring $300,000-$2M just to unlock network rewards, then limiting each pool to fewer participants than a small company meeting.</p><p>The new smart contract infrastructure drops the minimum to 10 TON with unlimited delegator capacity. This represents a 35,000x reduction in the barrier to entry while removing capacity constraints entirely.</p><p>Thanks to a technical breakthrough — an auto-distribution mechanism of the TON network — users can now stake any amount of TON with just one delegation transaction in a TW pool. Unlike other pool types that require separate validator setups for every 2 million TON, TW pools streamline the process, making staking significantly more accessible and efficient.</p><h2 id="three-ways-to-bring-ton-staking-to-your-users"><strong>Three Ways to Bring TON Staking to Your Users</strong></h2><p>The collaboration offers intermediaries flexibility in how they implement TON staking:</p><p><strong>Widget Integration</strong>: Drop-in component for existing interfaces, deployable in under a week. This approach prioritizes speed over customization, ideal for platforms wanting to add staking functionality without extensive development.</p><p><strong>Unified API</strong>: Complete backend infrastructure with full frontend control. Platforms can build custom user experiences while leveraging proven staking operations and validator relationships.</p><p><strong>dApp Solution</strong>: Ready-to-deploy staking interface that can be white-labeled or integrated independently. This works well for organizations wanting comprehensive staking capabilities with minimal internal development.</p><p>All three options share the same foundational infrastructure: automatic validator distribution, 24/7 monitoring, and transparent network reward sharing.</p><h2 id="why-this-collaboration-works"><strong>Why This Collaboration Works</strong></h2><p>P2P.org brings institutional-grade infrastructure to TON staking, while Ton Whales contributes deep protocol-native expertise. Together, we provide staking architecture that improves on prior solutions in meaningful ways, particularly for platforms with operational and scalability requirements.</p><p>Compared to the original Ton Whales contract — which requires a minimum of 50 TON and is widely used in the retail ecosystem — this new integration supports a dramatically lower entry point of just 10 TON, expanding access for users and enabling platform partners to reach a wider base.</p><p>Additionally, this is the only TON staking solution that has undergone dual audits (Quantstamp and Trail of Bits), addressing institutional requirements that are typically non-negotiable in enterprise adoption.</p><p>P2P.org’s infrastructure — already trusted with over $10 billion in delegated assets across 90,000+ delegators — includes 24/7 monitoring, non-custodial architecture, and transparent reward accounting, making it the first and only institutional-grade staking solution available for the TON ecosystem.</p><h2 id="audit-proven-audited-always-on"><strong>Audit-Proven. Audited. Always On.</strong></h2><p>Smart contract failures in DeFi can destroy platforms and user funds. The security approach of our solution reflects institutional requirements rather than typical DeFi standards.</p><p>Quantstamp and Trail of Bits conducted independent audits, specifically focusing on TON's FunC programming language. This specialization matters because TON's unique architecture requires auditors familiar with its specific technical characteristics.</p><p>P2P.org is introducing a 24/7 monitoring infrastructure, which provides proactive support that prevents problems rather than reacting to them.</p><p>The non-custodial architecture ensures intermediaries never take custody of user funds, reducing complexity while preserving user control throughout the staking process.</p><h2 id="business-model-without-custody"><strong>Business Model Without Custody</strong></h2><p>The operational structure creates network reward streams for intermediaries without requiring custody or significant operational overhead. Platforms can monetize the distribution of network rewards from user stakes while maintaining clean operational positioning.</p><p>With unlimited capacity and 10 TON minimums, nearly every TON network participant can stake their TONcoin compared to previously just whale accounts. The business model scales with platform growth rather than hitting artificial capacity constraints.</p><p>For institutional clients, the ability to stake vested tokens addresses a specific pain point where significant TON holdings were previously non-productive during lock-up periods.*<em>(*This offer is made solely on the basis of a binding agreement with P2P and does not, by default, apply to all participants staking on the TON network.)</em></p><h2 id="data-transparency-sets-new-standards"><strong>Data Transparency Sets New Standards</strong></h2><p>A significant innovation is granular data visibility for individual delegators. Previously, TON staking participants often operated without clear visibility into their exact stake amounts and reward calculations.</p><p>The new infrastructure provides precise, real-time information for each delegator—the kind of transparency that institutional clients require but has been impossible to deliver until now. This addresses a common friction point in enterprise adoption where detailed reporting and accountability are non-negotiable.</p><h2 id="ecosystem-development-and-future-roadmap"><strong>Ecosystem Development and Future Roadmap</strong></h2><p>Beyond immediate staking infrastructure, the collaboration includes several forward-looking components that extend TON's utility:</p><p><strong>Enhanced Dashboard</strong>: Real-time staking insights, reward tracking, and an intuitive interface designed for both retail and institutional users.</p><p><strong>Crypto Card Integration</strong>: Ton Whales is developing a non-custodial bank card with integrated staking functionality, allowing users to be eligible for staking rewards while making everyday purchases — a bridge between traditional finance and TON's decentralized ecosystem.</p><h2 id="market-timing-and-competitive-dynamics"><strong>Market Timing and Competitive Dynamics</strong></h2><p>Several factors create a unique opportunity window for TON staking infrastructure. TON's connection to Telegram's user base provides adoption potential that most blockchains lack. As Telegram continues integrating blockchain features, demand for accessible staking infrastructure will likely accelerate.</p><p>Enterprise clients increasingly expect reward-generating options for digital assets. Platforms that can offer institutional-grade staking can now achieve competitive advantages in client retention and acquisition, particularly as traditional finance and DeFi continue converging.</p><p>Early infrastructure providers typically capture disproportionate market share. The platforms that integrated Bitcoin early, added Ethereum staking first, or offered DeFi reward farming ahead of competitors built lasting advantages that persist years later.</p><h2 id="implementation-timeline-and-business-impact"><strong>Implementation Timeline and Business Impact</strong></h2><p>The infrastructure is already live and has been successfully audited by Quantstamp and Trail of Bits. Integration timelines vary by approach—widget implementations are possible within one week, while more complex API integrations typically require 2-4 weeks, depending on platform-specific requirements.</p><p>For platforms, this represents more than just adding another feature. Its infrastructure can increase user retention (users that are eligible for rewards from the network are less likely to leave), enable intermediaries to open up new network reward streams, and differentiate from competitors still struggling with traditional staking limitations.</p><p>The unlimited capacity removes traditional constraints on network reward potential. Instead of being limited by pool capacity or minimum stake requirements, platforms can benefit from their entire user base's staking activity.</p><h2 id="industry-context-and-broader-implications"><strong>Industry Context and Broader Implications</strong></h2><p>This collaboration represents infrastructure development that could influence TON's broader adoption trajectory. By removing technical and operational barriers that have limited staking accessibility, it addresses fundamental constraints on network growth.</p><p>By combining proven institutional operations with specialized technical expertise, there is now a template for how mature staking infrastructure can be developed efficiently rather than building everything from scratch.</p><p>For the TON ecosystem specifically, increased staking participation strengthens network security while reducing token velocity, both positive factors for long-term network stability and growth.</p><p>With TON Foundation support, this collaboration aims to accelerate overall staking adoption and DeFi growth across the TON ecosystem, potentially positioning TON as a more accessible alternative to other blockchain networks with higher technical barriers.<br></p><div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://www.p2p.org/networks/ton?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Stake TON with P2P.org</a></div><h2 id="about-ton-whales"><strong>About Ton Whales</strong></h2><p>Ton Whales is a key development team in the TON ecosystem, specializing in smart contracts, applications, and infrastructure.

<p>Zero-knowledge (ZK) proof systems are becoming a cornerstone technology for privacy-preserving and scalable computation in blockchain and cryptographic applications. As proof complexity and throughput demands grow, optimizing hardware utilization becomes essential to maintain performance and cost-efficiency — particularly in GPU-accelerated proving pipelines.</p><p>We at <a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org"><u>P2P.org</u></a> have participated in most of the major ZK protocols via different sets of ZK prover hardware. Since Ethereum is moving towards ZK enshrined in the protocol with L2Beat-like “slices” overview projects popping up (https://ethproofs.org/), we wanted to provide the community with an example of one of our researches based on our gathered knowledge on the subject.</p><p>This study examines GPU utilization strategies for generating ZK proofs, comparing two leading GPU architectures: the <strong>NVIDIA H100</strong> and <strong>L40S</strong>. The main objective is to evaluate whether allocating multiple GPUs to a <em>single</em> proof improves performance more effectively than generating <em>multiple proofs in parallel</em>, each using a single GPU.</p><p>Our benchmark is based on Scroll’s open-source ZK prover implementation, deployed on two high-performance hardware platforms. Below are the technical specifications for each setup:</p><h3 id="hardware-specifications"><strong>Hardware Specifications</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>L40S System:</strong><ul><li>CPU: 2× AMD EPYC 9354 (3.80 GHz)</li><li>RAM: 2 TB</li><li>GPU: 8× NVIDIA L40S 48 GB</li><li>Storage: 4× 4 TB NVMe SSD</li><li>Network: 2× 10 Gbit NICs</li></ul></li><li><strong>H100 System:</strong><ul><li>CPU: Intel Xeon 8481C (2.7 GHz, 208 cores)</li><li>RAM: 1.8 TB</li><li>GPU: 8× NVIDIA H100 80 GB</li><li>Storage: 12× 400 GB NVMe SSD</li><li>Network: 1× 100 Gbit NIC</li></ul></li></ul><p>Using a fixed 8-GPU configuration, we tested two modes: (1) increasing the number of GPUs per proof to measure time reduction, and (2) running multiple proofs concurrently to assess total throughput. This section sets the foundation for analyzing the performance trade-offs, CPU/GPU bottlenecks, and real-world cost-effectiveness of ZK proof generation at scale.</p> <!--kg-card-begin: html--> <section id="experiment"> <h2>Benchmarking ZK Prover Performance: Parallelization vs Dedicated GPUs</h2> <p> To evaluate GPU utilization efficiency in zero-knowledge proof generation, we conducted a series of controlled benchmarks on both hardware setups — L40S and H100 — using 8 GPUs in each case. The goal was to compare two strategies: </p> <ul> <li><strong>Strategy A:</strong> Increasing the number of GPUs used for generating a single proof.</li> <li><strong>Strategy B:</strong> Running multiple proofs in parallel, with one GPU assigned per proof.</li> </ul> <p> The Scroll open-source prover was used as the testing framework across both systems. Each configuration was run with fixed parameters and measured for prover time, proof throughput (proofs per day), and system resource utilization (CPU, GPU memory, RAM). Below are the summarized results: </p> <h3>L40S Results</h3> <table border="1" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr> <th>Configuration</th> <th>Prover Time (s)</th> <th>Proofs per Day</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1 GPU on 1 proof</td> <td>792</td> <td>109</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2 GPUs on 1 proof</td> <td>705</td> <td>122</td> </tr> <tr> <td>4 GPUs on 1 proof</td> <td>672</td> <td>128</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8 GPUs on 1 proof</td> <td>688</td> <td>125</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8 GPUs, 8 proofs in parallel</td> <td>1420 (total), 60.8 per GPU</td> <td>486 total</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3>H100 Results</h3> <table border="1" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0"> <thead> <tr> <th>Configuration</th> <th>Prover Time (s)</th> <th>Proofs per Day</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1 GPU on 1 proof</td> <td>1047</td> <td>82</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2 GPUs on 1 proof</td> <td>892</td> <td>97</td> </tr> <tr> <td>4 GPUs on 1 proof</td> <td>824</td> <td>105</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8 GPUs on 1 proof</td> <td>803</td> <td>108</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8 GPUs, 8 proofs in parallel</td> <td>2400 (total), 36 per GPU</td> <td>288 total</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> These results demonstrate that assigning a single GPU to each proof and executing them in parallel yields significantly higher overall throughput, especially on the L40S system. Surprisingly, H100 performance gains from parallelization were underwhelming, despite its raw power advantage, suggesting suboptimal software utilization or architectural bottlenecks in the current prover setup. </p> <p>On the graph we have shown the efficiency we expected to have by adding GPUs with the green line. The red dot on the graph is the generation of 8 ZK proofs simultaneously on the same 8-GPU unit, while the blue line is the result we received by adding GPUs to the proof generation process.</p> </section> <!--kg-card-end: html--> <h2 id></h2><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcoVS1Xsgm1Lq97e3t799HETaxKKGMdmtPpq7uiVSZ3UJY6GjBlpVk5ywKtq6O-k-O6XFB_4o8cM7Qdp5qozTAVkqlFxl1ixvrS6TWXCZf44CFSzmW_MZgZjsmyijWedj_ds_sP?key=-01FgYzuJbeNBpcm1OIScA" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1600" height="954"></figure><h2 id="system-resource-utilization-during-proof-generation"><strong>System Resource Utilization During Proof Generation</strong></h2><p>In addition to measuring prover time and throughput, we monitored system-level resource usage to better understand the efficiency and scaling behavior of each GPU configuration.

The analysis was conducted using Scroll's open-source prover, with a focus on two key strategies: scaling a single proof across multiple GPUs versus running multiple proofs in parallel.</p><p>The results demonstrate that <strong>parallel generation of proofs using individual GPUs</strong> yields significantly better throughput than assigning all GPUs to a single proof process. This effect is especially visible on the L40S platform, where parallel execution nearly quadrupled the number of proofs generated per day compared to the single-proof setup.</p><p>Surprisingly, the H100 — despite its superior hardware specs — underperformed in this scenario. Its single-proof generation times were longer than L40S in all configurations, and parallel execution on H100 also delivered lower throughput, indicating that software bottlenecks or suboptimal utilization patterns may limit its current viability for ZK workloads.</p><p>Additionally, we found that <strong>system RAM and GPU memory were not primary limiting factors</strong> in most configurations. RAM usage remained constant during single-proof runs, while GPU memory usage decreased as GPU count increased. Instead, CPU saturation and parallel processing coordination appear to be more critical for maximizing performance in proof generation.</p><p>In conclusion, <strong>GPU parallelism for a single proof does not scale efficiently</strong> beyond a certain point. ZK infrastructure teams aiming to improve throughput should prioritize software optimization, better CPU/GPU coordination, and parallelization across proofs rather than within a single one.</p>

<p></p><h3 id="tldr"><strong>TL;DR</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Validator infra isn’t “set and forget.”</strong> Small missteps like missed attestations or key mismanagement can quietly erode rewards or lead to slashing.</li><li><strong>Institutional staking demands more than uptime.</strong> It requires security, chain-specific tuning, real-time monitoring, and reporting that actually informs action.</li><li><strong>P2P.org takes the technical risk off the table.</strong> We build high-performance, secure, and scalable validator infrastructure that helps institutions stake smarter and safer.</li></ul><h2 id="why-validator-infrastructure-breaks"><strong>Why Validator Infrastructure Breaks</strong></h2><p>Validator infrastructure is often treated like a set-and-forget service. But in reality, it’s one of the most failure-prone layers in a staking operation, especially at institutional scale. Missed rewards, security breaches, slashing events, and opaque reporting can turn staking from a revenue source into a liability.</p><p>Instead, think of validating the as engine room of proof-of-stake networks. There are a lot of moving parts, and these precise components must work in harmony for long-term reliability. </p><p>At P2P.org, we're trusted with over $10 billion in delegated assets from 90,000+ delegators. Through that, we’ve seen what breaks, what scales, and what separates top-tier validators from everyone else. In this article, we’ll walk through eight of the most common technical pitfalls we see, and how we help institutions avoid them.</p><p></p><h3 id="1-missed-attestations-cut-into-returns"><strong>1. Missed Attestations Cut into Returns</strong></h3><p>Attestations are how validators prove they’re doing their job. On Ethereum and other networks, timing matters. If your infrastructure can’t keep up, even small delays can result in skipped rewards.</p><p>This kind of underperformance usually isn’t obvious until it starts impacting the bottom line. It becomes more noticeable during periods of network congestion or when running multiple validators under load.<br><br><strong>The solution?</strong> Infrastructure needs to be fast, resilient, and able to handle peak demand without lag.</p><p><strong>How P2P.org handles it</strong><br>We deploy regionally distributed infrastructure with built-in load balancing and failover capacity. Our systems are tuned for low-latency response across networks, so our clients get more consistent results.</p><p></p><h3 id="2-slashing-events-from-double-signing"><strong>2. Slashing Events from Double Signing</strong></h3><p>If a validator signs two conflicting messages on the same network, it can get penalized or ejected. This often happens when infrastructure is misconfigured or improperly backed up.</p><p>We’ve seen this impact operators who were running high volumes of validators without clear separation between active and backup nodes.</p><p><strong>The solution?</strong> There must be strict controls to ensure only one active validator signs at a time — no exceptions.</p><p><strong>How P2P.org handles it</strong><br>We separate key roles, implement strict failover logic, and configure validators with chain-specific slashing protections. All this is designed to prevent double-signing before it ever becomes a risk.</p><p></p><h3 id="3-poor-monitoring-delays-fixes"><strong>3. Poor Monitoring Delays Fixes</strong></h3><p>Issues don’t always come from downtime. They can creep in through latency, network desync, or validator drift. Without the right alerting in place, these problems can go unnoticed until it’s too late.</p><p>In the past year, we’ve seen network upgrades cause unanticipated sync issues that left many operators scrambling.</p><p><strong>The solution? </strong>Proactive, real-time monitoring is essential to catch problems early and act before rewards are lost.</p><p><strong>How P2P.org handles it</strong><br>We track dozens of health indicators for each validator and set up automated alerts to flag problems before they lead to missed rewards.</p><p></p><h3 id="4-weak-key-management"><strong>4. Weak Key Management</strong></h3><p>Validator keys are high-value targets. Poor key storage or weak access policies increase the risk of compromise, and in some cases, even accidental slashing.</p><p>This is a growing concern for custodians and enterprise clients that need to prove they aren’t introducing risk at the infra level.</p><p><strong>The solution? </strong>Key handling must be airtight, auditable, and protected by strong physical and logical controls.</p><p><strong>How P2P.org handles it</strong><br>We maintain secure key-handling protocols, such as isolated signing environments and non-custodial key management, to safeguard validator keys with enterprise-grade practices. </p><p></p><h3 id="5-mev-isn%E2%80%99t-managed-effectively"><strong>5. MEV Isn’t Managed Effectively</strong></h3><p>Ethereum validators earn more by capturing MEV, but only if they’re plugged into the right relays and builders. Many setups miss this entirely, leaving value on the table.</p><p>Operators often assume that MEV just works out of the box.

No longer limited to 32 ETH per validator, the Pectra hard fork introduces validator consolidation, partial withdrawals, top-ups, and automatic reward compounding.</p><p><a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org"><u>P2P.org</u></a> is the first staking provider to launch a staking API with a suite of functions to help institutions and developers harness the full potential of these protocol changes. These new methods allow clients to interact with Ethereum’s upgraded validators programmatically, whether they stake directly or via the SSV Network.</p><p>In this article, we walk through the key changes introduced by Pectra and the specific API methods that enable clients to integrate these features into their staking flows.</p><h2 id="pectra-p2porg-what-this-unlocks-for-you"><strong>Pectra + P2P.org: What This Unlocks for You</strong></h2><p>Pectra lays the groundwork for a more scalable and dynamic Ethereum staking layer, delivering key benefits for institutions: improved capital efficiency, enhanced security, and reduced operational costs.</p><p>Once integrated with P2P.org’s staking platform and APIs, these capabilities become fully accessible to institutions and developers. Our advanced API enhancements, paired with Ethereum’s protocol upgrade, provide clients with a production-ready staking stack that enables:</p><h3 id="1-consolidation"><strong>1.

This simplifies infrastructure, reduces operational cost, and activates auto-compounding rewards on every additional 1 ETH staked.</p><p><strong>API endpoint:</strong> POST<br>/api/v1/eth/staking/direct/tx/consolidation-validators</p><h3 id="2-auto-compounding"><strong>2. Auto-Compounding</strong></h3><p>For 0x02 validators, consensus layer rewards are now automatically reinvested until the validator reaches the 2048 ETH cap. This boosts capital efficiency while reducing the need to manually manage reward redeployment.</p><h3 id="3-partial-withdrawals"><strong>3. Partial Withdrawals</strong></h3><p>Clients can now withdraw excess ETH from a validator without fully exiting. This offers flexible liquidity management while maintaining validator activity and income.</p><p><strong>API endpoint:</strong> POST <br>/api/v1/eth/staking/direct/tx/withdrawal/partial</p><h3 id="4-incremental-staking-top-ups"><strong>4. Incremental Staking (Top-Ups)</strong></h3><p>Pectra allows validators to accept additional ETH post-creation.

<h3 id="introduction-how-l2s-think-about-zk-proof-generation-decentralization">Introduction: how L2s think about ZK proof generation decentralization</h3><p>The goal of this blog post is to add infrastructure providers’ point of view to the discussion of different methods on ZK proof generation decentralization. We found that this point of view is missing or misinterpreted by researchers and L2/ZK protocol creators. Since the decentralization mechanics are usually game-theoretic to some extent, the misconception of infrastructure providers’ behavior could lead to wrong conclusions, thus making the project not reaching its goal - proper reliable, censorship resistant and trustless system that we cherish so much in web3 (cherish less in recent years with surge of centralized L2s, but nevertheless, all of them <em>promise</em> to be properly decentralized one day and we <em>trust</em> them in our <em>trustless</em> industry).</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/Staking---ZK-proof-generation-2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="904" height="174" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/04/Staking---ZK-proof-generation-2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/Staking---ZK-proof-generation-2.png 904w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>It is hard to separate ZK proof generation decentralization from sequencer decentralization as both those parts of the stack should participate in the same tokenomics. But since we have shared sequencer protocols like Espresso, Astria, Radius and others, plus possible reluctance of L2 protocols to decentralize the sequencers, we will describe only separate decentralization of ZK proof generation.</p><p>We will present 3 articles regarding decentralization in ZK and experiments on proof generation parallelization. In the first one we will review staking tokenomics and its bad connectivity with the nature of the ZK proving process. The second article will focus on parallelization of proof generation tasks on different hardware. In the third article we will discuss the concept of idle GPUs that many protocols use as the cornerstone of their proof marketplace designs and the aggregation of aggregators problem in ZK space.</p><p>This article will not provide a definite answer to highlighted problems. The goal is to give additional data missing from other articles regarding this topic, combine them and emphasize on the fact that everything should be battletested and should not be presented as the best final solution while being only on paper. We encourage all protocols not to be afraid to change in the search of the perfect concept.</p><h3 id="taiko%E2%80%99s-numerous-experiments">Taiko’s numerous experiments</h3><p>The biggest practical research of this issue was done by the Taiko team that decided to make the 1st permissionless fully decentralized L2. For more than 1 year they have tested multiple setups: proof generation race, stake-based option, bond-based option and finally arrived at the stage with both proposer and prover role handled by the same entity. Let’s make a quick recap of all those tests and how they ended up with the current mainnet.</p><p><strong>Proof generation race.</strong></p><p>As the 1st step, Taiko started with the easiest solution. But due to the deterministic nature of ZK proof generation the race ended up with the clear single winner that took almost all of the proofs, so, the result was almost as centralized as current L2 solutions with 1 dominant player<strong>.</strong> Others were formally “on backup”, but in fact not present at all. It happened because the cost of running the operations is not compensated if you do not actively contribute to the chain's progress.</p><p>The stats from this testnet may show it otherwise with heavy centralization for Proposers and too beautiful pictures for Provers. We don’t want to get into conspiracy theories, we will just say that we were able to generate ZK proofs mostly at night, during the weekend, and by the end of the testnet when 3 main provers were not active. Nonetheless, the Taiko team made a good decision to test other methods since the community in discord was furious with this model.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-width-wide"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/Staking---ZK-proof-generation--1--1.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="927" height="527" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/04/Staking---ZK-proof-generation--1--1.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/Staking---ZK-proof-generation--1--1.png 927w"></figure><p><strong>Stake-based solution.</strong></p><p>The next attempt was a stake-based option with the active set of 32 provers and others beyond those 32 on backup. Usually Proof-of-Stake validator’s probability to produce the next block is equal to its share of the stake. But in Proof-of-Stake it is relatively easy to produce the next block, so validators do not have a scaling problem because of the number of blocks to produce (there is a scaling problem with constantly growing blockchain size overall, but it’s another one).</p><p>On the contrary, ZK proof generation is very demanding in computational power to generate a single proof, and if the prover's stake is growing, it should keep increasing the hardware capacities, otherwise it starts to get slashed. This is what happened in this testnet, and the amount of slashing was so big, that the best position was to be the 33rd prover (the 1st in non-active set) to receive blocks to prove and do the job without the fear of getting slashed. <strong>But then the stake grew (or others’ stake was slashed), prover ended up in the active set, got slashed, fell back, and it was a never ending cycle.</strong> As you can see, the system was enormously unstable, so Taiko decided to switch to other solutions.</p><p><strong>Proposer “buys” proofs.</strong></p><p>The idea is “if protocol can not handle it, let the invisible hand of the market do its magic”. <strong>In this solution each proposer can decide on where it can get the proof.</strong> At least this was for the first three weeks since mainnet was decentralized. But then the foundation announced “If you are proposing Taiko blocks, ensure you also prove your own blocks, or your liveness bond will be forfeited” also explaining this with “This change removes hook calls from the protocol for gas optimization and simplicity, as hooks are expensive”. Technically, it still can be two separate entities, but in fact the prover does not need the proposer and will always prove on its own.</p><p>Key aspects why Taiko permissionless decentralization works without both high congestion for proof submission:</p><ol><li>150 TAIKO tokens per each proof that are locked for 4 hours to dispute - a single entity needs a lot of TAIKO and ETH to proof all blocks in a day (<em>the numbers change with every network update</em>)</li><li>SGX proving - relatively complex technology which is hard to access and manage. This organically reduces the number of participants and prevents gas wars to submit the proof</li></ol><p>Nevertheless, from a community and tokenomics perspective there is a significant drawback to the model. With the current parameters 4 hours to return the bond and on average 2 proofs per minute only 72000 TAIKO tokens are being actively used for system functioning. In other words, 99.92% of circulating supply has no utility, apart from being used within DeFi and governance.</p><h3 id="other-protocols-discussions">Other protocols discussions</h3><p>In 2023 Starknet was actively discussing proposals on decentralization of their protocol on forum, so, let’s address the summary of the discussion. The Starknet protocol is divided into four layers: leader/proposer elections, consensus, proving, and L1 state updates. Starknet will use a variant of Tendermint. Starknet plans to use the chained proof protocol which is based on Mina’s design. It requires every block proposal to include a proof of a previous block.</p><p>Aztec’s testnet is underway, and in their initial series of blog posts they have created a design for stake-based sequencer decentralization protocol, while ZK proof generation will be outsourced. Sequencers are allowed to get the proof on external markets of their choice. They hope that the open market will provide the best quality and price.</p><p>Before the airdrop ZkSync also dropped a news bomb with a blog post and corresponding article about their thoughts on ZK proof generation decentralization. On a high level within the Prooφ described in the article corresponding to the post both staking and auction-based mechanisms are included, where staking is needed to slash provers if they send incorrect proofs. As for the auction part, a prover with the best bet (=lowest cost) wins, but gets paid the costs of the second price determined by the auction. At the same time the fee should always cover the cost of the proof generation for an auction to work.</p><h3 id="stake-based-solutions">Stake-based solutions</h3><p>We have described before how Taiko experimented with staking and went into mainnet with bonds instead. Overall, it makes some sense, but it also reduces the number of people that can use TAIKO as utility token, thus reducing its attractiveness to institutions and retail, since only a selected few can launch SGX prover and meaningfully utilize the token. Tokens are not only a financial or technological phenomenon, but also a social one, and engagement from as many participants as possible is crucial for project success, so, we will focus on a stake-based model of decentralization.</p><p>Sudden spikes of stake will not be possible to avoid, even by creating a hard cap on maximum stake, because the cap will not safe from the situation where several other provers lose their delegation, thus “promoting” the weak prover to get more proofs to generate while it does not have the required capacity. Some might argue “so slash them if they are not capable”, but constant slashing is exactly the reason why Taiko abandoned staking: this is bad delegators’ experience, and they will simply use other more safe protocols, for example Solana, where they don’t have slashing.</p><p>Let’s draw some possible scenarios</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/table1.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="459" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/04/table1.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/04/table1.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/04/table1.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/table1.png 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/table2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="563" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/04/table2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/04/table2.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/04/table2.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/table2.png 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/table3.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="459" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/04/table3.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/04/table3.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/04/table3.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/04/table3.png 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>Some suggestions might be:</p><ul><li>Slash only Operators - then Delegator will have to unbond, wait for N days, delegate again to another operator, possibly repeating the situation.</li><li>Even if there’s no unbond period, still, delegator will have to monitor the activity precisely, so, either the rewards should be good (and not absorbed by sequencer), or a delegator will find better opportunities elsewhere</li><li>“Buying” proofs elsewhere including from A & B. Although A & B benefit from C getting slashed, but buying elsewhere requires business details negotiations, setting up provers elsewhere, possibly syncing with the network - it might take a long time, not all operators might have everything setup</li><li>Decoupling leader selection from staking</li></ul><p>The idea in general should be like in the bonding schema: if the prover knows that it can’t make another proof in time, it should not be forced to do it by leader election mechanism. Nevertheless, with a big stake comes great responsibility, and this should be reflected in the user-related metrics, for example in APR. ZkSync’s “Proof” partially solves the issues, but several months later another whitepaper also addressed the problem using another auction method.</p><p>Succinct’s proof contest is an interesting approach that helps to internalize the competition between provers and free them from gas wars on Ethereum for their respective proofs to be accepted on-chain. The staked collateral will be used not only for potential slashing, but also in the reverse auction to win proofs. Provers will use a part of staked collateral to pay for a chance to win the next proof. To prevent payment wars, the size of the payment only determines the probability to win, but not the one with the highest payment wins.</p><p>Overall, this model seems like a fascinating approach that definitely should be tried within the Web3 industry to test how it can be potentially gamed. As we’ve seen before with numerous Taiko experiments, there were a lot of ideas that seemed to work well on paper, but in the end turned out as a disaster, so we only wish for protocols to be flexible in the new environment and evolve to new challenges.</p><h3 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h3><p>Taiko has tested many different decentralization setups for more than 1 year before coming to the current solution. Whatever design other protocols might choose - it is better to test it properly and figure out all mistakes before mainnet. Hopefully, when most of the rollups achieve stage 2 decentralization, stage 3 will appear with decentralized parts of the stack for censorship resistance, so that everyone could have the same access to the ecosystem as everyone else, and not by forcing transactions from L1.</p><p>Overall, we wanted to thank the Taiko team for enormous work on the forefront of L2 decentralization and we encourage other protocols to follow their steps. We also want to thank the Starknet and Aztec teams for taking an active discussion with the community about decentralization designs, and the ZkSync team for their paper and blog post on future decentralization steps. Also we want to reference some of Figment's related blog posts on L2 decentralization. They have similar thoughts, but we tried to make our contribution as well and make a research based on new data from 2024.</p><h3 id="references">References:</h3><p>Taiko vision (and impressions on

<p>Delegating and staking your Tezos (XTZ) tokens is a great way to put your assets to work while supporting the security and decentralization of the Tezos network.

You can purchase XTZ on various<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tezos/?ref=p2p.org#Markets"> <u>cryptocurrency exchanges</u></a> and withdraw it to a supported non-custodial wallet such as Kukai, Temple, or Umami.</p><ol><li><strong>Use the official Tezos staking dApp:</strong></li></ol><p>This guide follows the earning flow provided through the official Tezos staking dApp. Multiple wallets are supported. The steps explained mainly involve interacting with the dApp, with clear indicators of when to sign messages or transactions in your selected wallet.

Delegation is a simple, liquid option where your funds remain accessible at all times, while staking locks your tokens for a short 4-day unbonding period but provides up to 3× higher rewards. For more details on the differences, visit the dedicated P2P Tezos page.</p><ol start="4"><li><strong>Delegation is a required first step:</strong> </li></ol><p>Before you can stake your XTZ, you must first delegate it to a baker.

Increased Network Rewards</strong></h3><p>After <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/tezos-staking-3x-rewards-after-the-quebec-upgrade/"><u>the introduction of Tezos staking</u></a>, it initially provided rewards that were twice (2x) as large as those from delegation. However, following the Quebec upgrade implemented on January 20, staking XTZ now provides three times (3x) greater rewards than delegation. While network rewards are continuously adjusted by the Adaptive Issuance mechanism, you can rest assured that staking will continue to offer three times the rewards. This is one of the key factors that makes staking particularly attractive.</p><h3 id="2-automatic-daily-compounding"><strong>2. Automatic Daily Compounding</strong></h3><p>Unlike delegation rewards, which rely on baker payments that can be irregular, staking rewards on Tezos are automatically distributed and compounded daily at the network level. This maximizes your earnings without requiring any extra steps.</p><h3 id="3-quick-access-to-funds"><strong>3. Quick Access to Funds</strong></h3><p>Now the unbonding period for staked XTZ equals just 4 days — a significant improvement that balances earning potential with reasonable access to your funds. While delegated funds remain liquid at all times, a short lock-up in exchange for up to three times higher rewards through staking offers an attractive trade-off, especially when compared to the lengthy unbonding periods on other networks.</p><h2 id="limited-time-offer-0-fees-on-staking-with-p2porg"><strong>Limited Time Offer: 0% Fees on Staking with P2P.org</strong></h2><p>To celebrate the Rio upgrade and encourage more Tezos holders to experience the benefits of staking, P2P.org is offering <strong>0% fees on all Tezos staking</strong> for a limited time.</p><p>As one of the original Tezos network participants (operating since 2018), P2P.org combines industry expertise with institutional-grade security for your staked assets.

This provides more regular compounding, helping your rewards grow faster.</p><p><strong>Q: Will my delegator rewards be paid out daily now?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> The protocol doesn't specify when delegation rewards must be paid — this remains at the baker's discretion. P2P.org will always be responsible for providing reasonable timelines that take into account effective compounding and cost efficiency</p><p><strong>Q: What is the Data Availability Layer (DAL) and do I need to worry about it?</strong> A: The DAL is a key component for Tezos scalability. As a staker or delegator, you don't need to take any action — the benefits will come automatically as the network capacity grows.</p><p><strong>Q: Are there any security risks with this upgrade?</strong> A: No, the Rio upgrade maintains Tezos' strong security model while improving user experience. The shorter unstaking period doesn't impact security but makes many network operations smoother.</p><h3 id="about-staking-vs-delegation"><strong>About Staking vs. Delegation</strong></h3><p><strong>Q: If I'm currently delegating with P2P.org, how do I switch to staking?</strong> <strong>A:</strong> Visit <a href="http://stake.tezos.com/?ref=p2p.org"><u>stake.tezos.com</u></a>, connect the wallet you're currently using for delegation, and follow the prompts to "Convert to Staking." The process takes just a few minutes.</p><p><strong>Q: Will I lose rewards if I switch from delegation to staking?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> No. Any pending delegation rewards will still be distributed to you according to our regular schedule, while your new staking rewards will begin accruing immediately.</p><p><strong>Q: How often can I expect rewards distribution?<br>A: </strong>Considering that the delegation activation and freezing periods are over, delegation reward payouts will follow your baker’s specific payout schedule. In the case of staking, rewards will always be distributed daily.</p><p><strong>Q: What's the main difference between staking and delegation?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> The key differences are: (1) Staking offers 3x higher network rewards (12.2% vs 4.1%), (2) Staking rewards compound automatically daily, and (3) Staked XTZ has a 4-day unbonding period while delegated XTZ remains fully liquid.</p><p><strong>Q: Do Tezos (XTZ) rewards compound?<br>A: </strong>Yes, for both delegation and staking, though there are slight differences. In the case of delegator rewards, the compounding effect depends on the baker’s payment schedule. That’s why it’s important to choose a baker with regular, timely payouts who also covers transaction fees (such as P2P.org). On the other hand, staking rewards are automatically distributed and compounded daily at the network level, maximizing your earnings without additional steps.</p><p><strong>Q: Is there a minimum amount required for staking?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> No, you can stake any amount of XTZ. However, given transaction fees on the network, we recommend staking amounts where the higher rewards will meaningfully outweigh the cost of transactions.</p><h3 id="about-the-0-fee-promotion"><strong>About the 0% Fee Promotion</strong></h3><p><strong>Q: How long will the 0% fee promotion last?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> The promotion is initially set for 30 days and will end on 31.01.2025, but we may extend it based on community response.</p><p><strong>Q: What happens to my staking fees after the promotion ends?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> After the promotion period, our standard competitive fee structure will apply to new rewards earned. The exact rate will be announced before the end of the promotion.</p><p><strong>Q: Can I unstake during the promotion period?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> Yes, you can initiate unstaking at any time. Remember that the new 4-day unbonding period will apply.</p><p><strong>Q: Does P2P.org have stake capacity limits?</strong> <br><strong>A:</strong> Yes, our staking capacity is determined by our self-stake amount. Currently, we're only at 11.9% of our staking capacity, so there's plenty of room for new stakers.</p><p>Have more questions?
