Moonbeam Moonbeam (GLMR) Staking Guide

Looking to stake your GLMR but need help getting started? You've come to the right place. In this article we will be explaining in a easy step-by-step approach how to stake your GLMR. Let's get started. <div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-grey"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">💡</div><div class="kg-callout-text">Prerequisites: All you need before we get started is a Metamask account and at least 50 GLMR!</div></div><h3 id="connect-to-the-moonbeam-dashboard">Connect to the Moonbeam Dashboard</h3>1. The first thing that you will want to do is to connect to the Moonbeam dashboard. Navigate to the following page and select Metamask: "<a href="https://moonbeam.network/tutorial/stake-glmr/?ref=p2p.org">https://moonbeam.network/tutorial/stake-glmr/</a>" <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/06/image-4.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1328" height="634" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/06/image-4.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/06/image-4.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/06/image-4.png 1328w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>If you are not signed in yet, Metamask will ask you to sign in. 2. Metamask will then ask you: a) which account you wish to connect to, b) permission to add the Moonbeam network to your Metamask, and c) allow the website to switch your network to the Moonbeam network. Approve each pop-up. <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/06/img_01--1-.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1137" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/06/img_01--1-.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/06/img_01--1-.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2022/06/img_01--1-.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/06/img_01--1-.png 2230w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>3.

Kava Kava 10 Upgrade Launch

Kava is an open sourced, cross-chain, decentralised lending platform that runs on the Cosmos blockchain. The Cosmos ecosystem, referred to as the internet of blockchains, is a decentralised network of scalable and interoperable blockchains each with an independent governance structure. Interoperability is achieved through inter blockchain communications protocol (IBC) and is the key to simplify the access and interaction of a wide range of blockchain-enabled products and services. The ecosystem has and is still growing at a remarkable rate - attracting an impressive amount of attention in the crypto space. However, it still has some distance to cover in order to catch up with Ethereum in terms of attracting developers and the amount of applications it supports. The Kava 10 upgrade brings a unique co-chain architecture that combines Ethereum and Cosmos into a single, scalable network. Ethereum is massive. It is the 2nd blockchain in terms of market cap and has arguably the largest user and developer community and the most applications of all networks, but such popularity has also led to congestion. The resulting high transaction fees became an issue that could stall the growth of the ecosystem leading to the rise of layer 2 solutions to solve these inherent scalability issues. Ethereum also certainly loses the comparison with the Cosmos ecosystem in terms of interoperability, requiring cross-chain bridges to achieve this feature. Nevertheless, the utility of <a href="https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/evm/?ref=p2p.org">EVM smart contracts</a> and a vast and established community of Solidity developers bring great value to Ethereum. Kava 10 brings together the best of both worlds (representing a combined market cap of 300B USD and a large user base), serving as a IBC-compatible EVM-based chain where users will now have all the desired utility and features of Ethereum while benefiting from the fast finality and high-throughput of Tendermint PoS implementation. What's more, Cosmos and Ethereum users will soon be able to transfer this value amongst and between both ecosystems using IBC and emerging bridge projects. This is provided by the new co-chain architecture of Kava 10. The existing Kava chain was transformed into the Cosmos co-chain, while a new Ethereum co-chain was introduced. They are linked by a translator module and are secured by a common Tendermint consensus engine. Such architecture enables users to work seamlessly with both environments at the same time. <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/9fabfef84btmAYt-3-J__yFhFcWroWs9V-4uZB-JE33jHiT6KstcIM2RYBujXB6oB853MjqtE9b-JhYLQjFvk0PvEs7v3a_xkV1Jqbwfmzx1BB3JTx5HHZsCS4jZNvfzVg40-4TL0xsKZlt_3Q" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure><h3 id="what-features-does-kava-10-bring">What features does KAVA 10 bring?</h3>The ability to use Ethereum Dapps on alternative blockchains is on the rise. Moonbeam, Evmos, and others have already created their EVM to take advantage of the opportunity. Now comes Kava. With the Kava 10 launch, the opportunities for both developers and users have just expanded massively. The main feature allows users to wrap and unwrap $KAVA as an ERC-20 token on metamask, making it usable across multiple apps on the ETH ecosystem. This is a huge step in bridging the Cosmos and Ethereum ecosystems together. Kava 10 turns on the Kava Network’s Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which brings a big boost to DeFi protocols through access to various Automated Market Maker (AMM) smart contracts, oracles, subgraph indexing powered by The Graph and more. With the launch of the Ethereum Bridge, projected to be released in Q4 2022 users and developers will be able to wrap IBC assets as ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum chain while Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens can be wrapped on the Cosmos chain to be used across both DeFi ecosystems. This expands the opportunities and amount of incentives that can be provided which benefits both users and the protocols. This upgrade comes in the wake of the Kava Pioneer Program, which has recently concluded with the goal of developing the Kava ecosystem, rewarding both projects and developers that contributed to it. With KAVA now available on the Ethereum network, the goal is to make KAVA adoption more mainstream. The Pioneer program is now followed by Kava Rise - a $750M developers rewards program. It is funded by 80% out of a 100% inflation which has been turned on for a year’s period in March 2022 - a great sign of the project’s commitment to support growth and development based on the new co-chain architecture. Coupled with the launch of the Ethereum bridge later this year, the growth instigated by the Pioneer & Rise programs is expected to continue for the Kava ecosystem.<h3 id="conclusion">Conclusion </h3>What Ethereum lacks Cosmos delivers. With Kava 10, developers can easily build on a network where its users will not suffer from high fees and slow throughput. In the end, this upgrade is a step forward towards a multi-chain future where multiple networks can coexist and benefit each other serving various needs. <h3 id="kava-special-offerfree-staking-for-3-months">KAVA special offer - free staking for 3 months!</h3>To celebrate the Kava 10 launch we have decided to create a special offer for<a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24KAVA&src=cashtag_click&ref=p2p.org"> KAVA</a> holders!

P2P's Stance on Terra Current State of Affairs

At P2P Validator we have been closely following the current situation with Terra. By now everyone has had an opportunity to bring forward a solution and an <a href="https://agora.terra.money/t/terra-ecosystem-revival-plan-2-updated-and-final/18498?ref=p2p.org">important proposal</a> has just been put up for onchain voting. We would like to express our position concerning the current state of things and ways to move forward.In our governance decisions, we aim to maximize value for the community, represented by the following three groups:<ul><li>LUNA and UST holders from before the depeg event. This is the core community of the Terra ecosystem, including some long-time holders. We can assume that most of them had some degree of involvement, not just a short-term speculative interest. This is also the group which has suffered most from the fast crash of their investments. That is why we believe that any course of action should first prioritise the interests of these people. Inside this group, UST holders should be prioritised higher than LUNA holders, because the former invested on a promise of a low-risk, stable asset, while the latter worked with a naturally volatile asset - thus the difference in approach.</li><li>Protocol teams and validators. These are the key stakeholders for building value for the ecosystem, who have invested time and money to facilitate Terra’s growth. In addition to being harmed by the current situation, these are the only actors who can rebuild the ecosystem, thus creating new value, which can be used to repay other community members who suffered from the depeg. That is why we have to keep their interests in mind, as a second-level priority.</li><li>Post depeg holders of LUNA and UST. We should give a lower priority to their interests. These holders joined in on an extremely volatile asset, taking a risk to gain high rewards. The community is not responsible for providing them with an artificial safety net. </li></ul>And there is also TFL - a major stakeholder, whose actions during the crisis are questionable, with some legal action expected against them soon. We don’t believe that any plan should focus on protecting TFL as they should have been fully aware of the risks they were taking.To sum up, old holders > protocol teams & validators > new holders >> TFL.Our options are currently few - we can either find a way to compensate the victims with existing funds (presumably from TFL/LFG) and stop the chain OR try to build new value to do that while also saving the ecosystem (presumably in the form of a new chain). The former option relies on the good will of TFL who are committed to option 2. There is just no valuable asset left in Terra to do that, so it seems like the only option we have is to build. The building option can follow three general paths:<ol><li>New chain under TFL’s leadership (i.e. <a href="https://agora.terra.money/t/terra-ecosystem-revival-plan-2-updated-and-final/18498?ref=p2p.org">proposal 1623</a>) - we can save the ecosystem and the community, try to bring new value, albeit with a dubious leader ahead of the process, who, however, has been the only one capable of decisive actions on the ecosystem level since May 8. We will only be supportive of this proposal if we see a clear indication that TFL and LFG are excluded from the token distribution, TFL has a compelling vision for the new project, and TFL is not perceived as toxic by the community. We can not vote YES for such a proposal at the moment.The issues are: only one address excluded for TFL and none for LFG, no clear vision for the new chain, general disbelief from the community. However, we would support introducing an incentive program for TFL (e.g. tiered unlock of funds tied to the new chain’s market cap) if the aforementioned issues are solved - otherwise there is no reason for them to lead and participate if all their accounts are excluded at genesis.</li><li>New chain without TFL. Same as above, but the progress is to be driven by the community (most likely protocol teams + validators). This is a fresh start, but the success without a leadership structure in such turbulent conditions is questionable. We will be happy to support the proposals that follow this path if we see a new leadership team among the community members who can drive this endeavour.</li><li>Move projects to other chains and restart there. These might be a good option for some specific teams, but it leaves the victims of depeg alone.w</li></ol>P.S. Separately, there is an alternative path explored by the ‘Burn LUNA’ <a href="https://station.terra.money/proposal/1273?ref=p2p.org">proposal</a>. This one in particular lacks sufficient detail to be accepted in such form. Specifically, it does not describe any clear benefits for the stakeholders, and the implementation plan is ambiguous. Nevertheless, we will conduct additional research to see if this line of thinking could be promising for the UST / LUNA holders.<hr>About P2P Validator<a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading staking provider with the best industry security practices and proven expertise.

Evmos, Cosmos Evmos Relaunch Frequently Asked Questions

We love to see the excitement surrounding the EVMOS relaunch! We want to make sure that all participants are clear of any doubts during this event so we have gone through the forums and community channels and collected the most commonly asked questions and answered them below. Before we begin, here is the Evmos relaunch rollout plan (estimated timeline): <div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-grey"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">💡</div><div class="kg-callout-text">Phase 1 (day 1): ✅ Evmos enabled ❌ Airdrop disabled ❌ Staking rewards disabled ❌ IBC transactions (e.g. to/from Cosmos and Osmosis) disabled Phase 2 (day 3-4): ✅ Evmos enabled ✅ Airdrop enabled ❌ Staking rewards disabled ❌ IBC transactions (e.g. to/from Cosmos and Osmosis) disabled Phase 3 (at minimum 5-6 days after relaunch) ✅ Evmos enabled ✅ Airdrop enabled ✅ Staking rewards enabled ✅ IBC transactions (e.g. to/from Cosmos and Osmosis) enabled</div></div><h2 id="faq">FAQ </h2>Q: When will mainnet be relaunched?A: Mainnet will restart on the 27 April 2022, and will continue off at block 58700.Q: If I claimed and/or staked before mainnet failure do I have to do it again?A: No you will not have to. The chain will continue as it was one block before the mainnet failure.Q: What about the remaining 25% to claim?A: You will be able to claim the remaining 25% once IBC transactions are enabled in PHASE 3, at minimum 5-6 days after relaunch.Q: When will claiming and staking features be enabled?A: Staking will be enabled at the same time as relaunch, on the 27th of April. Note that staking rewards will be enabled in Phase 3, at minimum 5-6 days after relaunch. Claiming the airdrop will not be live until Phase 2 (3-4 days after the relaunch). Q: When will staking rewards be enabled?A: In the spirit of fairness, rewards will be disabled until Phase 3, at minimum 5-6 days after relaunch to give everyone a fair chance to claim.Q: Who is eligible to claim?A: If you staked OSMO, or ATOM, or paid gas on top dApps on Etherium before Nov 26th 2021, you are likely to be eligible for Evmos airdrop. You can find more information on eligibility in the following article under “<a href="https://evmos.blog/the-evmos-rektdrop-abbe931ba823?ref=p2p.org">Rektdrop Eligibility</a>”. Q: What wallets can be used to claim and stake my EVMOS?A: Currently only Metamask. To claim on Keplr we hav to wait for IBC transfers to be enabled. Ledger connections will work very soon too. Staking rewards are disabled until everyone has a fair chance to claim. Q: Where and how do I claim my tokens?A: An updated guide will be provided shortly after relaunch.Q: How long do I have to claim my EVMOS tokens?A: There is no timeline yet.Q: What happened during the mainnet failure?A: The Evmos team found a critical security vulnerability that required a quick upgrade. This upgrade was ill-tested and caused several double-signing errors requiring the chain to be halted to solve the issue.Q: Can I buy Evmos?A: There currently is no exchange to purchase EVMOS, however it is estimated that a Evmos DEXs will be set shortly after mainnet. Later we may also see exchange services provided by Osmosis zone, Diffusion Finance, Cronus Finance, Exswap, Evmoswap... Look out for the one with the most liquidity. One of them will probably win the race and become the dominant DEXQ: Can I transfer my Evmos?A: Yes, once the chain is relaunched transfers will work within Evmos. IBCs will be enabled soon after the relaunch.Q: What dapps are built on Evmos?A: You can find a list of dapps coming to Evmos <a href="https://github.com/tharsis/awesome?ref=p2p.org">here</a>.Q: What is Diffusion?A: <a href="https://chaindebrief.com/all-you-need-to-know-about-diffusion-finance/?ref=p2p.org">Diffusion Finance</a> is a Uniswap V2 fork, one of the first AMMs for Evmos — an EVM that leverages the Cosmos SDK enabling use cases around composability, interoperability and fast finality.Q: How to access to Testnet?A: Tech doc to set up the node: <a href="https://evmos.dev/testnet/join.html?ref=p2p.org">https://evmos.dev/testnet/join.html</a>.

NuCypher, Threshold Threshold Staking Guide

The <a href="https://www.nucypher.com/?ref=p2p.org">NuCypher Network</a> has merged with the <a href="https://keep.network/?ref=p2p.org">KEEP Network</a> to form the <a href="https://threshold.network/?ref=p2p.org">Threshold Network</a>. We have checked the <a href="https://docs.nucypher.com/en/latest/?ref=p2p.org">official instructions</a> and summarised all the steps required to stake T in this short guide.If you have an existing NU/KEEP stake, you can withdraw it and then upgrade tokens to T and stake. However if you are subject to a vesting agreement, your unvested stake will not be immediately withdrawable, but you can still stake it in Threshold. You will find instructions in the second part of this guide.<h3 id="how-to-stake-t-when-you-have-liquid-tokens-nu-or-keep">How to stake T when you have liquid tokens (NU or KEEP)</h3>1. If you have staked NU or KEEP you need to withdraw the tokens first. You can do it on <a href="https://stake.nucypher.network/manage/withdraw?ref=p2p.org">NU dashboard</a> or <a href="https://dashboard.keep.network/overview?ref=p2p.org">KEEP dashboard</a>. Just follow the link, connect your wallet and click the withdraw button.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/image.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1256" height="584" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/04/image.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/04/image.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/image.png 1256w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>2. Upgrade your NU/KEEP tokens to T via the <a href="https://dashboard.threshold.network/upgrade.)?ref=p2p.org">Threshold Network Dashboard</a>. Connect your wallet and click “upgrade token”. It will ask you to enter an amount of NU/KEEP and convert it to T.<div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-purple"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">💡</div><div class="kg-callout-text">Notice that the vending machine contract uses a static conversion ratio and remains available indefinitely, so please be safe, take your time, and confirm everything!</div></div><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/1.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="595" height="608"></figure>3. Stake your T-tokens using the <a href="https://dashboard.threshold.network/staking?ref=p2p.org">Threshold Dashboard</a>. Click the stake button. You will see a pop-up with staking process details. Just fill in the check-box that you read the requirements, choose an amount of T for staking, and confirm the transaction.<div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-purple"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">💡</div><div class="kg-callout-text">The minimum stake amount is 40,001 T. The UI won't stop you if you try to stake less than 40,001 T. However, your staking tx will fail and you will have wasted the gas fee. Be careful.</div></div><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/3.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="536" height="651"></figure><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="530" height="731"></figure>4. The last step to start getting rewards - bond your stake with a PRE node operator address.If you have more then 3,000,000 T you may rent a ready-to-use node from P2P. Contact us via [email protected] or telegram @ztonnis. We will prepare and send your personal node address. After that, you should <a href="https://stake.nucypher.network/manage/bond?ref=p2p.org">bond this node with your stake</a>. Just connect your wallet, copy-past the received node address and click “Bond Operator”. <div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-purple"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">💡</div><div class="kg-callout-text">What does it mean to rent a node? Our dedicated DevOps team will do all the technical work for you. A nominated account manager will help with all your questions about the Threshold network. We guaranty fast and quality 24/7 support. Our team has close connections with the Threshold team and deep technical expertise. We invested our own funds in the project in 2017 and intend to support the network in the long term.</div></div><ul><li>Minimum stake is 3,000,000 T</li><li>P2P fee is 8% + $400/month/node</li></ul>To run the node we pay for robust infrastructure and a professional DevOps team. If you want to stake less than 3,000,000 T, it will be unprofitable for you to rent a node due to the fee. We want to keep an honest low fee for our clients and therefore set this minimum stake. However, you can still join your stake with somebody or <a href="https://docs.nucypher.com/en/latest/pre_application/running_a_node.html?ref=p2p.org#running-a-node">run the node</a> by yourself (if you have the technical knowledge and a free server).<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/image-56.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1123" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/04/image-56.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/04/image-56.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2022/04/image-56.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/image-56.png 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>That’s all. You will receive rewards denominated in the native T tokens. You can see the statistics and withdraw your rewards on the <a href="https://dashboard.threshold.network/overview/network?ref=p2p.org">Threshold dashboard</a>.<h3 id="how-to-stake-t-when-you-have-locked-nu-tokens">How to stake T when you have locked NU tokens</h3>There are only 2 steps, to stake your locked NU tokens:1.

They are fully liquid, so you can use them for your needs at any time — trade, sell, exchange, invest in DeFi projects, etc. When you unstake your bCRE, you will get more CRE than what you originally liquid staked.

Lido, Solana P2P to Run Lido on Solana

On April 11, P2P took ownership of Lido on Solana becoming the new team in charge of its growth and development, with the goal to build-out the project in alignment with Lido’s, Solana’s and P2P’s values. Liquid Solana Staking was launched on Lido in September 2021 with the collaboration of Chorus One as an initiative to grow the presence of Lido across staking networks. Thanks to the members involved, the project has reached 3,000,000+ SOL staked and achieved numerous stSOL integrations. P2P has been involved since the beginning of the year, participating in boosting TVL in collaboration with Lido through their incentivization program, Liquidity Providers launches and Protocols integrations.Due to some organisational changes at Chorus One, a <a href="https://research.lido.fi/t/lido-on-solana-proposed-transition-from-chorus-one-to-p2p/1887?ref=p2p.org">proposal was passed</a> to transfer the ownership of Lido on Solana to P2P. “We are incredibly grateful to Chorus One for all their hard work on the development and initial launch of the project, they have laid a solid foundation for us to grow its success and presence within the flourishing Solana ecosystem.” - Vasiliy Shapovalov, CTO at P2P The exact terms and timelines of the transition to P2P can be found here: <a href="https://research.lido.fi/t/lido-on-solana-proposed-transition-from-chorus-one-to-p2p/1887?ref=p2p.org">Lido on Solana - Proposed Transition from Chorus One to P2P.</a> Lots of work still needs to be done. Solana was among the networks with the highest growth in 2021 (going up to 6th in market cap) and the requirements and standards of the community are high. “P2P Team has outstanding staking expertise in Solana. We will do our best to make Lido on Solana highly valuable for the ecosystem by improving validator conditions and standards, driving the DeFi ecosystem and increasing new users growth” - Nikolai Abeliashev, Product Manager for Lido on Solana P2P Validator have cemented themselves as one of the pillars of the staking community, working closely with each network to achieve maximum growth. <h2 id="plan-to-be-executed">Plan to be executed</h2> As an initiative to improve Solana’s network performance & security, and to empower the community, P2P plans to focus on improving Solana Network decentralisation by bringing new node operators and increasing the number of validators part of the Supermajority (a large group of validators that together control 66.66% of the total stake) into Solana on Lido’s set. The decision to add new node operators will be based on validator historic performance (parameters to be annotated soon), ecosystem participation and general validating experience purchased. Through educational programs and clear performance metrics, P2P will ensure a high standard of operations that will be available on a public dashboard with open validator performance data. Lastly, by providing clear commission instructions and by balancing the number of validators and stakes in the pool, P2P plans to fairly distribute the profitability for validators. Further, with $300+ million in staked SOL, Lido on Solana can expand its presence within the <a href="https://solana.lido.fi/defi?ref=p2p.org">Solana Defi Community</a> further through unique integrations with value-adding protocols, wallets and dapps, incentivisation programs and community initiatives.A dedicated team has been set up to carry out the above plan and ensure what was promised, is delivered. With Lido on Solana under new ownership, exciting times are ahead for the project. Quality & performance improvements, transparency of validation, boosting DeFi economics, and of course attracting more users are all in this year's goals.<h2 id="what-is-sol-liquid-staking"> What is SOL liquid staking?</h2> Liquid staking allows participants to earn staking rewards without the need to lock their assets or the need to maintain the infrastructure required.stSOl is Lido’s liquid staking token for Solana. With it users can earn staking rewards while being able to participate in DeFi protocols at the same time. stSOL can also be exchanged at any time for SOL to let users instantly unstake their tokens without the need to wait for the cooldown. Unstaking directly from Lido is still possible but you are subject to the 3 day cooldown before you get access to your tokens.stSOL is a wrapped token, this means that when staking with LIDO your staking rewards accrue to the wrapper and the value of stSOL increases over time. The current exchange rate of stSOL - SOl can be found in the <a href="https://solana.lido.fi/?ref=p2p.org">staking page</a> at all times.stSOL can be used in a variety of expanding DeFI protocols across the Solana ecosystem. A list of guides for different protocols can be found <a href="https://help.lido.fi/en/collections/3275637-liquid-staking-on-solana?ref=p2p.org">here</a>. With liquid staking you can earn additional income on your tokens, while still earning staking rewards. For example, you can provide liquidity on a stSOL - SOL trading pair to earn fees from the pool on top of the staking rewards. Lido on Solana are looking to expand the number of protocols and use cases for stSOL so keep an eye out for new developments on their social media channels.<div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://lido.fi/solana?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Get started by visiting Lido on Solana! </a></div><h2 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator </h2> P2P Validator began in 2018 with a mission to positively influence the development of POS technologies.

Auth P2P Joins Auth Network as an Early Guardian

Lost seed phrases and private keys led to<a href="https://interestingengineering.com/140-billion-in-bitcoin-is-lost-due-to-forgotten-passwords?ref=p2p.org"> the loss of more than hundred billions worth of digital assets</a>. Complexity of access elements and key management implies a tangible entry barrier for non-technical users who want to explore crypto ecosystems. Auth Network (prev. Torus Network) is a decentralized key management protocol that helps facilitate seamless access to a variety of services offering an elegant solution to those problems without sacrificing security.Private keys get split to multiple pieces and in order to access a desired service a person needs to have any two of them. The first share is stored on the user’s device and the second share is managed by the social log-in provider which is further split among a crucial network of node operators. The third share is decided by the user for added security. This approach provides a remarkable level of security and simplifies key recovery.Open and accessible network allows to achieve a higher level of sovereignty over the keys making it possible to use ordinary Web2 flow to access Web3 services. Web3Auth’s pluggable SDKs can be integrated with any Web3 Application or Wallet in just under a few minutes and the users can enjoy an intuitive, seamless and non-custodial onboarding experience.P2P is thrilled to join as the Auth Network Guardian to ensure secure key management within the system.

Evmos Evmos Network Overview

Evmos is a vital piece in the Cosmos ecosystem as it plans to bring a Cosmos SDK built, PoS blockchain that is compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts.<h2 id="current-network-state">Current network state</h2>The Cosmos ecosystem, referred to as the internet of blockchains, is a decentralised network of scalable and interoperable blockchains each with an independent governance structure. Interoperability is achieved through inter blockchain communications protocol (IBC) and is the key to simplify the access and interaction of a wide range of blockchain-enabled products and services. The ecosystem has and is still growing at a remarkable rate - attracting an impressive amount of attention in the crypto space. However, it still has some distance to cover in order to catch up with Ethereum in terms of the number and variety of applications it supports. Ethereum is massive. It is the 2nd blockchain in terms of market cap and has arguably the largest user base and the most applications of all networks, but such popularity has also led to congestion. The resulting high transaction fees became an issue that could stall the growth of the ecosystem leading to the rise of layer 2 solutions to solve these inherent scalability issues. Ethereum also certainly loses the comparison with the Cosmos ecosystem in terms of interoperability. Nevertheless, the utility of EVM smart contracts and a vast and established community of Solidity developers bring great value to Ethereum. Evmos brings together the best of both worlds, enabling developers to utilise the functionality of EVM while enjoying the features of the Cosmos architecture. Evmos serves as the first IBC-compatible EVM-based chain, bringing composability, interoperability, and fast finality to Ethereum. Users will now have all the desired utility and features of Ethereum while benefiting from the fast finality and high-throughput of Tendermint PoS implementation. What's more, Cosmos and Ethereum users will be able to transfer this value amongst and between both ecosystems using IBC and emerging bridge projects. The ability to use Ethereum Dapps on alternative blockchains has become a multi-billion dollar feature of web3, positioning Evmos as a potential leader in Cosmos' contribution to the web3 ecosystem. <h2 id="token-allocation">Token allocation</h2>Evmos will have an initial supply of 200 million tokens at launch. The distribution will be amongst <a href="https://evmos.blog/the-evmos-rektdrop-abbe931ba823?ref=p2p.org">Rektrdop participants</a> (50%), strategic reserve (40%) and the community pool (10%). This is a unique feature of Evmos’ token distribution model. This airdrop does not benefit large token holders of other blockchains, nor will there be an early pre-sale which often results in issues for the decentralisation of token holdings. Rektdrop will result in an even distribution of tokens amongst an unusually wide group of community members. That means that the blockchain will be purely community-driven since the to-be-distributed EVMOS is the governance token for its namesake chain.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Yiue9kUquIz5wBbZnEi6MIv9_tXw4XsSuDMGyLPxdbbonPPR4WEvrAnqM2ySu9-XMUi2ynCCSTwwJBi1daMAhMhlZ66MsuofiQn_GF4JUnrJSk35R5pxz1K4Bg6vZ6gYFO33h1j3" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Evmos will start off by being highly inflationary, with 300 million tokens being issued in the first year but dropping every year with the goal of 1 billion tokens being issued after 4 years. It is assumed that after this time, a new inflationary model will be proposed through governance.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/UxlLngsi46FiCKT3eU67QyGjkZBcaK42EyG1EzR_mqQ7sUSoXutind12UOfvtIu0O30aUUHvY1Jemg0MFrS3t4H1VKa_H-Qf_-MYTPbYX4BPhU9KLoFGpqOVWJ52Fv-L1TvAj5C1" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Issued tokens will be distributed in the following way:<ul><li>40% to staking rewards</li><li>25% to team vesting</li><li>25% to usage incentives</li><li>10% to community pool</li></ul><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/KNFOS_mWwMP41I8bMX45P_SpkEhlIeZvJ36kzgBNqLXCHM8kv3qyiVifJxtpXFUS7-IQ6FR4PhKpbD7JQYmfiPoJ1d5bDujYvDR7PiUAg1wNAqu4yyrbPj9JOCnUJkWGVuifkcWd" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>The key novelty here is the blockchain’s attitude towards developers. Usually the validators are the sole benefactors of the rewards system. This is not the case with Evmos - this blockchain focuses on building a developer’s community around its main feature (EVM smart contracts compatibility) and claims that developers are equally important for the project, while still acknowledging the role of network operators. This concept is implemented in the form of dApps Store which creates a reward mechanism for developers based on the value and impact of their application. <h2 id="token-utility">Token utility</h2>Other than paying for transaction fees on the Evmos network, each EVMOS token will give rights to participate in staking and governance. Staking Staking is the mechanism used to secure the network. It is the process of bonding coins/tokens (stake) in order to earn rights to participate in the "validation" of new blocks, and in doing so are compensated with rewards. Token holders can “delegate” their EVMOS tokens rights to Validators. Delegators are incentivised to delegate to a Validator that acts according to the best interests of the network as a whole. Governance Evmos gives token holders the rights to submit and vote on proposals to better the network. Evmos stakers who do not vote will inherit the vote of their validator. <h2 id="staking-evmos">Staking Evmos</h2>Validators play a crucial role, with their core responsibilities being validating transaction blocks and ensuring the security of the Evmos network. Validators may also decide to operate oracles, secure bridges, governance and much more. Token holders can “delegate” their EVMOS tokens to the validators they wish. Validators will validate blocks of transactions on their behalf, earn rewards proportionally to the represented stake, and the network will redistribute it to their delegators after deducting a fee for the service they provide. Validators will set fees for their services, with a minimum of 5% of staking rewards earned. The top 150 validators, based on the amount of EVMOS delegated to them, will be selected to participate in the validation of transaction blocks. 40% of newly-issued tokens as well as a portion of transaction fees will be allocated to staking rewards and will be redistributed to validators and delegators. Validators can also receive up to a 5% bonus by coordinating between each other to reduce their chances of empty blocks proposals. <h2 id="slashing-risk">Slashing risk</h2>Evmos have implemented slashing to incentivise validators to conduct themselves and for delegators to select trustworthy validators. Validators who act in the following ways will see both their self-stake and their delegators’ stake slashed:<ul><li>Double-signing: signing two or more blocks at the same height.</li><li>Downtime: validator missing a significant amount of blocks.</li><li>Unavailability: validator that is offline for a significant amount of blocks.</li><li>Poor security: validator acts in a way where their security is compromised. </li></ul><h2 id="useful-links">Useful links </h2><ul><li>Website: https://evmos.org/</li><li>Documentation: https://evmos.dev/</li><li>Guides: Coming soon</li><li>Twitter: https://twitter.com/EvmosOrg</li><li>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/EvmosOrg?ref=p2p.org">https://t.me/EvmosOrg</a></li></ul><hr><h2 id="about-p2p">About P2P </h2><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider with the best industry practices and proven expertise.

Staking Which PoS Token Should I Stake?

We understand that the Proof of Stake (PoS) ecosystem has grown immensely and is still growing at a quick pace. There is now such a large array of network tokens that can be purchased and staked that it can be difficult to know which ones to go for. Our team provides exhaustive financial analysis to provide support for only top-tier staking networks. We have been early participants and stakers for networks such as XTZ, ATOM, SOL, DOT, MINA... and proven to have a knack for choosing highly successful networks to stake with. Below we provide you with descriptions, links, and staking mechanics for our list of tokens that we offer staking services for to help you decide which token is best suited for your preferences!

With its unique feature of independent sovereignty, blockchains built on cosmos do not need to rely on underlying governance rules, simplifying and increasing the speed for fixes and upgrades. At its core, Cosmos hub is a blockchain that serves as the primary connectivity point in the ecosystem, and in the future it is going to provide shared security among all networks built in the ecosystem. Cosmos native token, ATOM, serves the purpose of paying for transaction fees, can be used to vote on proposals, and can be staked to earn block rewards and helps secure the network. The ecosystem has and is still growing quickly and grabbing a lot of attention in the crypto space.

Interoperability is the key to blockchain usability, allowing to leverage each blockchains value amongst each other. The architecture of Polkadot consists of the main relay chain and its multiple parachains. The relay chain is responsible for governance and ensuring shared consensus amongst all parachains. Parachains are individual networks with their own use case which all share their state with the relay chain, and can communicate amongst each other to avoid relay chain congestion. Separate blockchains can also be linked to the Polkadot ecosystem via bridges.

Using a Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus mechanism, Solana has the capacity to handle an impressive 710,000 transactions per second with extremely low transaction fees. PoH is similar to PoS, however it uses an element of time providing specific timestamps to blocks, improving the organisation of block validation and allowing for a quicker sequencing. Using the RUST programming language, Solana enables the creation of smart contracts which can be run in a parallel manner.

Indexing is the process of organising blockchain data into subgraphs which allows developers and dapps to find and make use of information in a much quicker manner by simply querying for it. Indexers, like P2P Validator, stake GRT tokens and run nodes in order to index subgraphs, and by doing so earn GRT token rewards. Curators use GRT tokens to signal which subgraphs they believe are the most interesting to index and will earn rewards if their subgraph becomes popular in the future. Delegators, can delegate their GRT tokens to indexers to earn a portion of the indexing rewards earned by indexers. Using this architecture, theGraph manages to create a trustless and decentralised system for organising blockchain data, with the vision of becoming the google of blockchains. GRT is a utility token, deeply involved in the Network economics on day-by-day basis.

It serves as an decentralised application platform for deploying and executing highly secure smart contracts in a simple manner. It raised an impressive $232M during its ICO in July 2017 and managed to ride out the bear market out, reaching all time highs of $3.80 in Feb 2020. Tezos solves some of the drawbacks of Ethereum: High gas fees, disagreements on upgrades, and smart contract issues. Tezos is one of the first to run a delegated proof of stake (Dpos) consensus mechanism, where “bakers” (such as P2P Validator) secure and manage the network by validating transactions and are advocates in the governance of the chain. Unlike other blockchains, Tezos uses a self-amendment process to upgrade without the need for long winded and costly forks. New proposals are brought forwards and voted on by bakers.

Users can use their cryptocurrencies as collateral in exchange for their stable coin, USDX. Users of the Kava platform will receive KAVA for their participation. Once a loan is returned, lenders will need to pay a “stability” fee in KAVA tokens which gets burned and reduces the overall supply of KAVA tokens. KAVA is an inflationary token but the increase in supply is distributed to stakers. Therefore, KAVA stakers could see high returns as they receive staking rewards to combat the inflationary aspect of KAVA, but also see their tokens increase in value once the Kava platform activity grows and more KAVA tokens get burned to pay for fees.Website: <a href="https://www.kava.io/?ref=p2p.org">https://www.kava.io/</a>‌ ‌Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/kava_platform?ref=p2p.org">https://twitter.com/kava_platform</a>‌ ‌P2P Staking Page: <a href="https://p2p.org/kava?ref=p2p.org">https://p2p.org/kava</a>‌ ‌Guide: <a href="https://help.p2p.org/en/articles/5470329-keplr-wallet-kava-staking-guide?ref=p2p.org">Keplr</a> <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/02/image-37.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="455" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/02/image-37.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/02/image-37.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2022/02/image-37.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2022/02/image-37.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Cardano is a third generation blockchain based on fundamental research with a goal to provide a highly scalable smart-contract platform for financial and social decentralised applications.

It has been built to maintain a constant size of 22 kb no matter how much it grows in usage. This allows any user to verify the whole protocol history since it’s genesis block without needing large amounts of storage. This is achieved by using recursive zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs), to verify that the information is valid without needing to reveal it. This constant size also allows the network to scale in terms of decentralisation since it’s much easier for anyone to run a node. The native token, MINA, is required to participate in block production. It can also be used to purchase SNARK proofs via the Snarketplace. Snapps (SNARK-powered decentralised apps), allow MINA participants to benefit from a vast array of use cases. Potential use cases include Verification of Asset Ownership and Proof of Trade. Both aim to solve current DeFI problems that users experience everyday.

Not only will each dapps easily interact with each other, they will be able to take advantage of Cosmos’ IBC, allowing the transfer of tokens and information to multiple other blockchains outside Cosmos. Its native token is XPRT, a utility token used to pay for fees among the dapps in the Persistence ecosystem. These fees will be placed in a pool and redistributed to XPRT token holders who are staking. If the ecosystem attracts high demand, this could result in significant returns for early XPRT token holders.

New code will be tested on Moonriver under real economic conditions first, and once proven it will move to Moonbeam. Moonbeam is a developer orientated ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Polkadot. This allows for Solidity (programing language used on Ethereum) based smart contracts to be deployed on the Polkadot network with little configuration required. Moonbeam bridges the Polkadot and Ethereum ecosystem, a major milestone for the interoperability goals set by Polkadot allowing both ecosystem . MOVR is a utility token for Moonriver, with its functions being: support of gas metering of the execution of smart contracts, incentivising Collators, governance, and paying transactions fees on the network.

Kusama Kusama Validator Offline Offence - Post Mortem

<h2 id="summary">Summary</h2>One of our Validator nodes went offline at the end of era 3281 until the start of era 3282 as the result of the corruption of a blockchain database that was being used. This led to the inability to produce blocks for 2h:45m.<h2 id="what-happened">What happened</h2>A database that we were using to run our validator node crashed. We immediately took action and started deploying a new node using a recent snapshot of our disk. Once fully synced, new keys were generated and signed off before turning the validation service back on. As we created a new validator with the rotation of session keys, we were forced to chill for an additional epoch.<h2 id="customer-impact">Customer Impact</h2>Delegators who nominated this validator and had their stake allocated to it will receive lower rewards than it could have potentially earned for 2 epochs.<h2 id="what-went-wrong">What went wrong?</h2>Inadequate tools for this particular event. We did not deploy the db from our backups (pruned) because on occasion, we faced issues with our automation running too long. Additionally, we had not recovered the session keys since it’s always a risky option and the situation at hand did not warrant taking such risks.<h2 id="what-went-well">What went well?</h2>It was immediately notified that the node stopped producing blocks and the root cause was identified almost instantly. This allowed us to swiftly amend the occurrence, and with the help of fully automated key rotation/verification and signing cycle, we were able to get a fully operational node running in an effective manner.<h2 id="lessons-learnt-and-action-plan">Lessons learnt and action plan</h2>Improve our incident handling procedures and find a faultless and rapid fix for these kinds of events. We already improved and reached faster spin up for fully synced nodes and will implement a solution for safe session keys management.P2P takes full responsibility for the event that led to the weak performance and we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please be assured that P2P is taking actions to eliminate even a small probability of such an event occurring in future.<hr>If you have any questions feel free to join our<a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org"> Telegram chat</a>, we are always open for communication.

Near Near Incident - Post Mortem

<h2 id="tldr">TLDR</h2> Due to a sudden spike of transactions, mainnet validator node ran out of disk space, leading to inability to produce blocks and corruption of the node state.<h2 id="what-happened">What happened?</h2> Disk usage grew quite fast and mainnet pool p2p-org.poolv1.near stopped producing blocks since ~07:00 UTC on 16th of January. Epoch ended ~10:00 UTC and by that time the node had surpassed the epochal kick-out threshold for downtime. Therefore, it was scheduled for temporary kick-out for the next two epochs. While resolving the issue, the validator remained offline for the following epoch resulting in one additional forfeit epoch. Overall, the node was offline for ~3,25 epochs and the validator pool lost 4 full epochs of staking rewards.<h2 id="what-went-wrong">What went wrong?</h2> The potential impact of the issue was underestimated.It was expected to rely on a recent state snapshot that would be readily available. We had no cold backup of a recent node state while available backup nodes were subject to the same issue leading to a loss of access to a synced node. In fact, the official public back-up archives were corrupted too. A <a href="https://github.com/near/nearcore/issues/6095?ref=p2p.org">GitHub issue</a> was created afterwards.Monitoring was insufficient.Near validation infrastructure was undergoing an overhaul, some monitoring facilities were offline. It was expected that the amount of space used on disk would grow more or less linearly. With ~100 GiB of free space it could last for a month. Space clogged up in a matter of days while disk monitoring was not set appropriately to catch the spike and warn in advance.<h2 id="what-went-well">What went well?</h2> It was immediately notified that node stopped producing blocks and the root cause was identified almost simultaneously. Quite a few validators were affected by the issue, and the community was very helpful.<h2 id="impact-on-clients">Impact on clients</h2> All our Near delegators were affected and lost four epochs of staking rewards. To compensate our delegators in full and mitigate their loss, P2P waived the fees until the end of February.<h2 id="lessons-learned">Lessons learned</h2> We should have had better monitoring and collecting disk usage metrics from all nodes at all times including mainnet, backup and Near RPC node. It is important to ensure that back-up nodes are running & synced at all times. In addition, it is important to establish the process of making cold snapshots of the node state on a regular basis and spread this practice to all available networks.P2P takes full responsibility for the event that led to the weak performance and we are sorry for the inconvenience.

Vega VEGA Staking is Now Live at P2P!

We are excited to share that Vega has now launched the restricted mainnet - you can now stake VEGA and receive rewards! Still in the early phases and backed by top validators, it’s a project that can shake the Defi ecosystem. Traditional centralised financial markets have left us paralysed. Traders and investors have no choice other than giving full trust to third parties who fix high costs and stifle innovation by controlling what markets and products can be traded. The Vega network works to solve these shortcomings through the use of its permissionless and agnostic proof of stake network, bringing efficient trading of derivative products (comparable to centralised exchanges) to the DeFi ecosystem. Check out Barney Mannerings (founder of VEGA) explain more about VEGA at the Kryptonight London <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhGD8brS3r0&t=125s&ref=p2p.org">here</a>. <blockquote>“The Vega chain will be the Web3's native derivatives layer, bringing fairness, front-running protection and capital efficiency to blockchain. Starting with an Ethereum bridge Vega plans to support assets from all major blockchains.” David Siska - Vega research team @Vega Protocol</blockquote>At P2P Validator our team provides exhaustive analysis to support top-tier staking networks. We have been seed investors and early contributors in top networks such as Solana, Cosmos, Tezos among many others and have a flair for selecting striving networks to stake with. We have now added VEGA (their native token) to our list of carefully selected products - both locked and unlocked VEGA can now be staked, giving you the opportunity to earn more! <blockquote>“Most importantly, Vega and P2P share a lot of core values, and we really appreciate Vega’s built-into incentives that empower decentralisation, and fair, transparent distribution of rewards. We also support Vega’s goal of solving fundamental problems for the centralised finance, and share their intent to open the opportunity to create and launch markets to a broad audience.” Dmitry Argunov - Vega Product manager @ P2P Validator</blockquote>As with most staking services, the earlier phases provide the highest rewards. Vega are placing a fixed amount of VEGA into a treasury for staking rewards that will be distributed among the staked VEGA. Less staked VEGA to distribute it to, the higher the rewards per VEGA staked. As Vega trading volume increases, a percentage of the infrastructure fee - fees that are charged on trades executed on the platform - will be shared for staking rewards. While staking VEGA tokens, you will not only be helping secure the network and earn rewards along the way, you can also participate in governance and shape the future of the Vega project. <hr><h3 id="useful-vega-resources">Useful VEGA resources</h3><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">vega.xyz</a></li><li>Guides: <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-macs/">For Mac</a> or <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-windows/">Windows</a> </li><li>What to Expect from Restricted Mainnet: <a href="https://blog.vega.xyz/what-to-expect-from-restricted-mainnet-616086d9fdaf?ref=p2p.org">https://blog.vega.xyz/what-to-expect-from-restricted-mainnet-616086d9fdaf</a></li><li>Whitepaper: <a href="https://vega.xyz/papers/vega-protocol-whitepaper.pdf?ref=p2p.org">vega.xyz/papers/vega-protocol-whitepaper.pdf</a></li><li>Github: <a href="https://github.com/vegaprotocol/?ref=p2p.org">github.com/vegaprotocol/</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/vegaprotocol?ref=p2p.org">twitter.com/vegaprotocol</a></li><li>Discord: <a href="https://discord.com/invite/3hQyGgZ?ref=p2p.org">https://discord.com/invite/3hQyGgZ</a></li><li>Blog: <a href="https://blog.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">blog.vega.xyz/</a></li><li>Community: <a href="https://community.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">community.vega.xyz/</a></li></ul><hr><h3 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h3><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider with the best industry practices and proven expertise.

Vega Vega (VEGA) Staking Guide For Windows

We have created a step-by-step guide to help you stake your Vega (VEGA) on Windows. If you are using a Mac instead you can find a guide <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-macs/">here</a>. For those of you who have their tokens locked on Coinlist: Coinlist will support staking. More information will have to come from them about how they will manage it. To redeem unlocked VEGA tokens from Coinlist, you can do so <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-windows/token.vega.xyz">here</a>. You will have to go through the following steps to successfully stake your VEGA: I. Create your Vega Wallet (If you have already done so skip to the next step) II. Connect to a network III. Stake your VEGABefore we start, make sure you have VEGA in a Metamask wallet (token contract can be found <a href="https://token.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">here</a>) as well as ETH to pay for transaction fees. The gas fees are variable and Vega has no control over it. <h3 id="i-create-your-vega-wallet-if-you-have-already-done-so-skip-to-the-next-step-">I. Create your Vega Wallet (If you have already done so skip to the next step) </h3>1. The first thing that you will want to do is download the right zip file of the releases from the<a href="https://github.com/vegaprotocol/vegawallet/releases/?ref=p2p.org"> Vega Wallet GitHub rep</a>.On Windows download: vegawallet-windows-amd64.zipMake sure you remember where to find it as you will need to know it for the steps ahead (to make following this guide easier, simply save the zip file in your "Downloads" folder so the below examples can be copy/pasted).2. When you open the file you might be prompted with this screen:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/U2Fbz6AYhxvRDC1tainCEaM6nS6TsujT69wuluQjP5t22m-FCDtI9g3xNDE-DWlXA1-C-H7VC2s36EiDQS8kWs03j6OTZ-TaXWe1XGpCDJ-0nEd2FxWyi9fkCOfIw_B-zGxPAvtp" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Press "More info" and then "Run anyway".3. You will need to open a command prompt to initialize the wallet. Open a new terminal page and navigate to the location where the downloaded file is stored. To indicate where the commands will run you can use the command "cd". For example, I have saved my file in the “downloads” folder so I used the command "cd downloads".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="982" height="118" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 982w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>4. Once you have specified the folder to run the command, you will now need to initialise the wallet. This creates the folder, the configuration files, and default networks needed by the wallet to operate. Use the following command "vegawallet init":<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.26.38.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="860" height="42" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.26.38.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.26.38.png 860w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>If you are experiencing any issues with this step, you can try to do the following command instead: "vegawallet init --force".5. The next step will be to create your username for the wallet. Use the following command: "vegawallet key generate --wallet "YOUR_USERNAME"" . Make sure there are no spaces in your username. Example below:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.30.12.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="864" height="38" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.30.12.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.30.12.png 864w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>6. You will then have to create your password. Note that when typing you will not see what is being typed, this is intended and it will be recorded. Select enter once you have written it.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.31.08.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="844" height="104" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.31.08.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.31.08.png 844w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>7. Once you have confirmed your password, the wallet will be created! You will then be given your mnemonic phrase. This phrase will be used to restore your wallet in case something happens. It is very important to write it down and to record it somewhere safe (offline) where no one will ever see it! It will not be displayed ever again so make sure you write it down correctly. You should also note down your username, public key and remember your password in order to login to your account later on.<h3 id="ii-connect-to-a-network">II. Connect to a network </h3>1. You are now ready to run the service. If you are starting with a new terminal page, make sure that you indicate where the commands will run again (where you have saved the vegawallet file). To indicate where the commands will run you can use the command "cd". For example, I have saved my file in the “downloads” folder so I used the command "cd downloads".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="982" height="118" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 982w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure> Next, you will have to select and connect to a network. To find the list of networks use the following command: "vegawallet network list".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-68.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="404" height="56"></figure>If you do not see the network "mainnet1", run the following command: "vegawallet network import --from-url="<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml</a>"<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-12.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="852" height="136" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/image-12.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-12.png 852w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>If you are experiencing issues importing the mainnet network, another way to do this is to download the file “mainnet1.toml” from here: <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml</a>.

One epoch on the Vega network is currently configured to be 24 hours. An epoch is the period of time the network uses to manage the list of registered validator nodes and staking rewards payouts. The APR for staking VEGA is variable and will depend on the % of the total VEGA supply that is staked. As with most staking services, the earlier phases provide the highest rewards. Vega are placing a fixed amount of VEGA into a treasury for staking rewards that will be distributed among the staked VEGA. Less staked VEGA to distribute it to, the higher the rewards per VEGA staked. The APR will become more stable once more VEGA is staked.Thank you for using our guide!

Vega Vega (VEGA) Staking Guide For Mac

We have created a step-by-step guide to help you stake your Vega tokens (VEGA) using a Mac. If you are using a Windows instead you can find a guide <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-windows/">here</a>. For those of you who have their tokens locked on Coinlist: Coinlist will support staking. More information will have to come from them about how they will manage it. To redeem unlocked VEGA tokens from Coinlist, you can do so <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-macs/token.vega.xyz">here</a>. You will have to go through the following steps to successfully stake your VEGA:I. Create your Vega Wallet (If you have already done so skip to the next step) II. Connect to a network III. Stake your VEGABefore we start, make sure you have VEGA in a Metamask wallet (token contract can be found <a href="https://token.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">here</a>) as well as ETH to pay for transaction fees. The gas fees are variable and Vega has no control over it. <h3 id="i-create-your-vega-wallet-if-you-have-already-done-so-skip-to-the-next-step-">I. Create your Vega Wallet (If you have already done so skip to the next step)</h3> 1. First you will need to download the right zip file of the releases from the<a href="https://github.com/vegaprotocol/vegawallet/releases/?ref=p2p.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Vega Wallet GitHub rep</a>.For Mac download: vegawallet-darwin-amd64.zipFor Macs with an M1 processor (released in November 2020 or later): vegawallet-darwin-arm64.zip.To check whether your Mac has a M1 processor select the apple logo in the top left and then "about this mac".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p-validator-fa82109e4cef.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/420281081/bdd48535a618879fb6a3c366/428DZD2WPHRatFAC4ImEeDgwR9tnPoclLfZa6RNYPhZjizQmGlj7gkRJHs_QXCRnqYLLn1-fOdySmgTQl_F48v512FLxPDdPHqx7Br6nntNRXOdfy69qMtLndb1i54bifApzJqpv" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Create a folder to place your downloaded zip file in and make sure you remember where to find it as you will need to know it for the steps ahead. (to make following this guide easier, create a folder called "Vegawallet" in your "Downloads" folder and save it there so the below examples can be copy/pasted).2. Once downloaded and saved, the next step is to open it. When attempting to do so, you may get a message saying “vegawallet cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p-validator-fa82109e4cef.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/420281085/9125302e137a37962c8890d3/_ngOOm0r1hve_OVHVbIjlJ2oO0E2cJ53fOlVxedhIFie_3PI_buZ0cZLCGS1m6FwmN_ZdEe8m0CQpH0d5bc87IS7dqlnlJrsdVm6vN0zIM5-xkCHgKwbG7MOrGmZoGF8FB6ydJhs" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>To open it you will have to go to your system preferences, select "Security & Privacy".

Once you have opened the file, you will need to initialise the wallet and create a new key pair. Open a new terminal page and indicate where the commands will run (where you have saved the vegawallet file). For example, I have saved my file in the following folder: Downloads → Vegawallet. To indicate where the commands will run you can use the command "cd" then the path. Below I wrote "cd Downloads/Vegawallet" to indicate that my file is in the Vegawallet folder which is in my Downloads folder.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p-validator-fa82109e4cef.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/420281094/095053c4ebed924c6ae0f5ff/aa2ZvrSxy8SgQP6EV3mLRqtYW0TBt0hL26QLlluUSD2j9mA4O0ruxJbLCioh1PcjYowEquON0V535amy2bfJJPmMpUeCeHHukJrQBBJuEyBsJzLyMDhgi8_im6ZudI9xCac2Yf0P" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>4. Once you have specified the folder to run the command from, you will need to initialise the wallet. This creates the folder, the configuration files, and default networks needed by the wallet to operate. Use the following command "./vegawallet init". Example below:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-46.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="856" height="33" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/image-46.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-46.png 856w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>If you are experiencing any issues with this step, you can try to do the following command instead: "./vegawallet init --force".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-80.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="984" height="34" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/image-80.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-80.png 984w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>5. The next step will be to create your username for the wallet. Use the following command: “./vegawallet key generate --wallet "your_username".” Make sure there are no spaces in your username. Example below:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p-validator-fa82109e4cef.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/420281105/90a3e69d6efc74584323c2a8/A40YAOsu9gT6ExhUGe7Mzgyj9GzTUU6uC7rYLXYdJtSpqiHXl2WPkYW5VWfCnQT1dEzz-4vT4dcbdf3wjC8G-Mr5oHqxJ-4fXbo0ZKsyFkQaHUawqfZuoM-Mc6ORPVGjNu7WSVy_" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>6. You then have to create a password. Note that when typing you will not see what is being typed, this is intended and it will be recorded. Select enter once you have written it. Example below:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p-validator-fa82109e4cef.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/420281112/2d5443df047ddaa6b3182ebc/jo9n1iwMFhLzxgiwzfzFyY1VPhdOJi5t-W3YFQVzeSnzJ0LRHVKsA6-0-MmK65psbkjZpwxvIpTlTPjbv-9QNIb5ZjUwuEH8nJ9CxeQTr3cO1ydDYPydWfLXisG_wUb4AF8Yi45U" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>7. Once you confirm your password, the wallet will be created! You will then be given your mnemonic passphrase. This passphrase can be used to restore your wallet in case something happens. It is very important, so make sure you write it down and keep it somewhere safe (offline), where no one will ever see it! It will never be displayed again so be sure to write it down accurately. You should also make a note of your username and public key, and remember your password in order to login to your account in future.<h3 id="ii-connect-to-a-network"> II. Connect to a network </h3>1. Once you have created and initialised the wallet, you are now ready to run the service. If you are starting with a new terminal page, make sure that you indicate where the commands will run again (where you have saved the vegawallet file). For example, I have saved my file in the following folder: Downloads → Vegawallet. To indicate where the commands will run you can use the command "cd" then the path. Below I wrote "cd Downloads/Vegawallet" to indicate that my file is in the Vegawallet folder which is in my Downloads folder.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p-validator-fa82109e4cef.intercom-attachments-7.com/i/o/420281115/b67208b7285f1306a3adae88/aa2ZvrSxy8SgQP6EV3mLRqtYW0TBt0hL26QLlluUSD2j9mA4O0ruxJbLCioh1PcjYowEquON0V535amy2bfJJPmMpUeCeHHukJrQBBJuEyBsJzLyMDhgi8_im6ZudI9xCac2Yf0P" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>You need to select and connect to a network.

One epoch on the Vega network is currently configured to be 24 hours. An epoch is the period of time the network uses to manage the list of registered validator nodes and staking rewards payouts. The APR for staking VEGA is variable and will depend on the % of the total VEGA supply that is staked. As with most staking services, the earlier phases provide the highest rewards. Vega are placing a fixed amount of VEGA into a treasury for staking rewards that will be distributed among the staked VEGA. Less staked VEGA to distribute it to, the higher the rewards per VEGA staked. The APR will become more stable once more VEGA is staked.Thank you for using our guide!

Vega Vega - Network Overview

Secured around a PoS consensus mechanism, <a href="https://p2p.org/vega?ref=p2p.org">Vega</a> is a novel project designed for developing and trading quality derivative products on a decentralised network. <h2 id="current-network-state">Current Network State</h2> Traditional centralised financial markets have left us paralysed. Traders and investors have no choice other than giving full trust to third parties who fix high costs and stifle innovation by controlling what markets and products can be traded. The Vega network works to solve these shortcomings by improving access to a decentralised derivative trading network, cutting out the middleman and redistributing control back to the community. With Vega, anyone will be able to propose the markets they want to trade, and they will be approved for creation if they pass through governance. These markets will be:<ol><li>Backed by optimal liquidity incentives to attract market-making resources.</li><li>Supported by a risk management system to ensure safe trading.</li><li>Allowing collateralization with multiple crypto-assets.</li></ol>Through the use of its permissionless and agnostic proof of stake network, VEGA is bringing efficient trading of derivative products (comparable to centralised exchanges) to the DeFi ecosystem. <h2 id="token-allocation">Token Allocation </h2> VEGA raised ~$11 million from over 26 backers, including Arrington, Pantera, Cumberland, KR1, Hashed, and Coinbase Ventures. Symbol: VEGA Type: ERC20 token which interacts with the VEGA blockchain via a Ethereum-to-Vega bridge Current Market Cap: ~$34,000,000 Current Circulating Token Supply: ~1,600,000 VEGA Total Token Supply: 64,999,753 VEGAThe initial token allocation and current token distribution looks as follows:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/09/VEGA-Initial-Token-Allocation.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1200" height="800" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/09/VEGA-Initial-Token-Allocation.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/09/VEGA-Initial-Token-Allocation.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/09/VEGA-Initial-Token-Allocation.jpg 1200w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/09/VEGA-Token-Distribution.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1200" height="800" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/09/VEGA-Token-Distribution.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/09/VEGA-Token-Distribution.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/09/VEGA-Token-Distribution.jpg 1200w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure> <h2 id="vega-token-utility">VEGA Token Utility</h2> Each VEGA token will give rights to participate in governance and staking. Governance VEGA token holders will have the opportunity to propose and vote on 1) new markets on the VEGA protocol and 2) governance changes on rewards distribution policies, review fee prices, and the behaviour of the network. Staking Staking is the mechanism used to secure the network. It is the process of holding coins/tokens (stake) in order to earn rights to participate in the "validation" of new blocks, and in doing so "delegators" are compensated with rewards. Token holders can “delegate” their VEGA tokens rights to Validators. The more stake one has, the more influence they hold. Delegators are therefore incentivised to delegate to a Validator that acts according to the best interests of the network as a whole. <h2 id="vega-staking-economics-">VEGA Staking Economics: </h2> Vega started in 2018 and will be launching their Restricted Mainnet soon - enabling governance and staking of both unlocked and locked VEGA tokens. The core functionality of Vega will be introduced by a governance vote once the network is running smoothly and the functionality to enable trading is well-tested.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/09/image-2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1200" height="300" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/09/image-2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/09/image-2.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/09/image-2.png 1200w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Vega uses a Delegated Proof of Stake BFT-style consensus protocol. Token holders can “delegate” their VEGA tokens to the validators they wish. Validators will validate blocks of transactions on their behalf, earn rewards proportionally to the represented stake, and the network will redistribute it to their delegators after deducting a fee for the service they provide. There are two variables that define the staking rewards APR: the amount of tokens in the network assigned for rewards (AKA the reward pool), and how many VEGA tokens are currently staked. The estimated APR will be released shortly after the network launches when these variables will be known. These rewards will derive from two different places: 1) A percentage of the infrastructure fee - fees that are charged on trades executed on the platform. 2) From the on-chain treasury. The amount of rewards received will be voted by the community where an equilibrium between desiring high fees and lowering fees to attract demand should be reached. Initially, 13 validators (<a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> being one of them) will be in charge of the validation of new blocks. To promote decentralisation, Vega have implemented a non-whaling scheme. Rewards will not grow further beyond a maximum stake that will be imposed on validators. Delegators therefore have an incentive to delegate to validators with a stake below this threshold as doing so will lead to higher rewards per token. Users that want to contribute to the stability and security of the Vega Network without the complexities associated with the management of being a validator can delegate stake and earn staking rewards. <h2 id="slashing-risk">Slashing Risk</h2>Vega does not plan to implement slashing. However, validators will not receive rewards if they do not validate the blocks assigned to them and the community will punish validators who misbehave by undelegating their stake. Further punishments could be implemented if needed, such as retaining rewards generated. If it turns out to be insufficient, the community can always vote to implement further measures. <h2 id="useful-vega-resources">Useful VEGA resources</h2><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">vega.xyz</a></li><li>Guides: Coming soon</li><li>Whitepaper: <a href="https://vega.xyz/papers/vega-protocol-whitepaper.pdf?ref=p2p.org">vega.xyz/papers/vega-protocol-whitepaper.pdf</a></li><li>Github: <a href="https://github.com/vegaprotocol/?ref=p2p.org">github.com/vegaprotocol/</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/vegaprotocol?ref=p2p.org">twitter.com/vegaprotocol</a></li><li>Blog: <a href="https://blog.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">blog.vega.xyz/</a></li><li>Community: <a href="https://community.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">community.vega.xyz/</a> </li></ul><h2 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h2><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider with the best industry practices and proven expertise.

Vega P2P Validator To Provide Vega Staking

<a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is excited to announce our upcoming launch of Vega staking. P2P will be joining the Vega Mainnet as node operators to increase network decentralization and support the security of the first network. <a href="https://vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">Vega</a> is a financial infrastructure protocol designed for developing and trading novel margin products on a decentralized network. Secured with PoS, Vega facilitates automated margin trading of complex products, allowing anyone to design and launch their own financial products.By staking Vega with P2P Validator, users can earn rewards on their VEGA through our non-custodial staking infrastructure. There are two variables that define the staking rewards APR: the number of tokens in the network assigned for rewards, and how many VEGA will be locked up to secure the network. These factors are likely to be variable upon network launch and better defined APR estimates will be available shortly after staking begins. Rewards are paid every epoch (daily) to the separate, non-staking account. P2P has been selected as one of the first 13 validators and we are successfully running on testnet, to be one of the first validators to launch on the Vega mainnet. For more information on how P2P can assist you with your Vega, please visit <a href="https://p2p.org/vega?ref=p2p.org">p2p.org/vega</a>.  <h3 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h3>The P2P team has extensive experience in setting up secure infrastructure. P2P Validator maintains high-availability nodes and provides secure staking services for the most groundbreaking projects in the blockchain space. The node infrastructure is under advanced monitoring with 24/7 technical support, backups and alerts. P2P currently supports more than $4 billion in staked value across more than 10,000 individual stakers and 25+ key PoS networks.
