P2P.org brings Ethereum Pectra Staking to Ledger Wallet with 0% fees

<h2 id="at-a-glance"> At a Glance:</h2><ul><li>P2P.org delivers full Pectra functionality on Ledger Wallet — ETH Holders can now stake all their ETH without any leftovers on Ledger Wallet. No more multiples of 32 ETH required. Every fraction of your ETH now generates rewards.</li><li>0% service fees* on all ETH staked via Ledger Wallet through December 31, 2025 — capture 100% of protocol-level staking rewards during the promotional period.</li><li>Same institutional-grade infrastructure securing $10B+ across 40+ networks — seven years of validator operations, zero slashing incidents, 99.9% uptime, now accessible directly through Ledger Live </li></ul>If you've been holding ETH in your Ledger Wallet, there's a good chance some of it has been sitting idle — earning zero rewards while you waited to accumulate enough for another validator.That problem just disappeared.Ethereum's Pectra upgrade fundamentally changed how validators work. And as of today, P2P.org enabled consolidation on Ledger running with full Pectra functionality at launch.To mark the occasion, we're waiving all service fees on ETH staked through Ledger Live until December 31, 2025.Here's what that means for you, and why this matters right now.<div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://go.ledger.com/ledger/pectra_zerofeecampaign_p2p?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent"> 👉 Stake Your ETH at 0% Here 👈 </a></div><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-17-at-14.53.36.png" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1330" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-17-at-14.53.36.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-17-at-14.53.36.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-17-at-14.53.36.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-17-at-14.53.36.png 2262w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption>Img.: The P2P.org ETH Staking dApp in Ledger Wallet</figcaption></figure><h2 id="what-pectra-actually-changes-for-you">What Pectra Actually Changes For You</h2>Before Pectra, Ethereum's validator architecture had a fundamental inefficiency: every validator was capped at 32 ETH.If you held 50 ETH? Only 32 could earn rewards. The remaining 18 sat idle.If you accumulated 63 ETH over time? You could run one validator with 32 ETH active, but the other 31 ETH earned nothing until you hit the next multiple.That limitation is now gone.EIP-7251 raises the validator cap from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH. Every fraction of your balance now generates rewards. Rewards auto-compound into your validator's effective balance. And you can top up an existing validator at any time — even with 1 ETH — instead of waiting to accumulate another full 32 ETH to activate a new one.For institutions managing treasury allocations, this means consolidated capital deployment and automatic rewards compounding without operational overhead.For individual stakers, it means your full balance works efficiently from day one.<h2 id="p2porg-amongst-the-first-pectra-ready-providers-on-ledger-at-launch">P2P.org: Amongst the first Pectra-Ready Providers on Ledger at Launch</h2>Most validator providers aren't ready for Pectra.

Introducing Lambda’s DeFi PnL

In decentralized finance, one question stands above all others: "How much money am I actually making?" While this seems straightforward, the unique mechanics of DeFi—with its staking rewards, rebasing tokens, and other activities—make traditional profit-tracking methods inadequate.In this guide, we're breaking down Lambda DeFi's inclusive approach to Profit and Loss (PnL) calculation, providing Wallets with the tools to help their users truly understand their portfolio performance.<h2 id="the-foundation-what-pnl-really-means-in-defi">The Foundation: What PnL Really Means in DeFi</h2>At its core, PnL (Profit and Loss) is the total measure of your portfolio performance, expressed by a simple but powerful formula:PnL = Unrealized Profit + Realized ProfitLet's dissect these components to understand what's actually happening with your assets:<h3 id="unrealized-profit-explained">Unrealized Profit Explained</h3>Unrealized profit represents value changes in assets you still hold. This includes:<ul><li>Market value increases of tokens in your wallet</li><li>Accumulated but unclaimed staking rewards</li><li>Growth in rebasing tokens like stETH (where your token balance automatically increases)</li><li>Any accrued yield that hasn't been harvested</li></ul>The key characteristic: these profits exist "on paper" but haven't been captured in your wallet as separate assets yet.<h3 id="realized-profit-explained">Realized Profit Explained</h3>Realized profit comes from completed transactions where you've locked in your gains or losses:<ul><li>Profits from selling tokens at a higher price than purchase</li><li>Claimed staking rewards that now sit in your wallet</li><li>Yield farming returns you've harvested</li><li>Any asset you've unwrapped, swapped, or converted to another form</li></ul>Both unrealized and realized profits can be negative when asset values decrease or when you sell at a loss.<h2 id="a-real-world-example-the-eth-investment-scenario">A Real-World Example: The ETH Investment Scenario</h2>To make this concrete, let's examine a simple scenario:A user purchases 1 ETH for $2,000. Later, the market price reaches $2,500.Scenario 1: A user HOLDS the ETH<ul><li>Unrealized profit: $500 (the price appreciation a user could capture if he sold)</li><li>Realized profit: $0 (the user hasn't executed any action to lock in gains)</li><li>Total PnL: $500 (entirely on paper)</li></ul>Scenario 2: A User SELLS the ETH<ul><li>Unrealized profit: $0 (the user no longer holds the asset)</li><li>Realized profit: $500 (the user has locked in the gain by selling)</li><li>Total PnL: $500 (entirely captured)</li></ul>This illustrates how the same total PnL can have completely different implications for a user's portfolio liquidity and risk exposure.<h2 id="two-perspectives-base-vs-quote-currency-profit">Two Perspectives: Base vs. Quote Currency Profit</h2>Lambda's approach provides two crucial perspectives on a user's portfolio:<h3 id="base-currency-profit">Base Currency Profit</h3>This measures changes in the quantity of the actual crypto assets, answering the question: "How many more tokens do I have?"For example:<ul><li>A user stakes 10 DOT and after 30 days has 10.5 DOT</li><li>The base currency profit is 0.5 DOT (5% growth in the asset quantity)</li></ul>This metric is particularly valuable in inflationary environments or when the user is focused on accumulating a specific asset.<h3 id="quote-currency-profit">Quote Currency Profit</h3>This measures the monetary value of a user's holdings in the reference currency (often USD), answering: "How much more is my portfolio worth?"For example:<ul><li>You stake 10 DOT worth $100 ($10 each)</li><li>After 30 days, you have 10.5 DOT, but DOT's price dropped to $9</li><li>Your quote currency value is now $94.50</li><li>Your quote currency PnL is -$5.50, despite having more DOT</li></ul>This perspective helps users to understand their actual financial position, accounting for both quantity and market price changes.<h2 id="the-algorithm-how-lambda-actually-calculates-user-pnl">The Algorithm: How Lambda Actually Calculates User PnL</h2>Lambda's calculation methodology is specifically designed to capture the nuances of DeFi portfolio performance:<h3 id="1-interval-based-approach">1. Interval-Based Approach</h3>Rather than looking at a portfolio in a single continuous period, we break it down into meaningful intervals:<ul><li>User Action Intervals: Created whenever a user performs actions that change their portfolio structure:<ul><li>Buying or selling assets</li><li>Staking or unstaking</li><li>Adding liquidity or withdrawing</li><li>Claiming rewards</li><li>Receiving transfers from others</li></ul></li><li>Regular Time Intervals: For longer periods, we also add standard time divisions (weekly for 1-month reports, monthly for 1-year reports) to capture market movements between user actions</li></ul>This approach ensures we catch both active decisions and passive market effects.<h3 id="2-comprehensive-data-collection">2. Comprehensive Data Collection</h3>For each interval, we record:<ul><li>Starting and ending token balances</li><li>Starting and ending token prices</li><li>Any external influences (network rewards, rebases, etc.)</li></ul><h3 id="3-precise-pnl-calculation-formula">3. Precise PnL Calculation Formula</h3>For each interval, we calculate:Interval PnL = (End Price × End Balance) - (Start Price × Start Balance)This captures both price effects and quantity changes in a single metric.<h3 id="4-results-aggregation">4. Results Aggregation</h3>We then aggregate all interval results to produce:<ul><li>Overall period PnL</li><li>Time-segmented PnL (monthly, quarterly, etc.)</li><li>Performance visualizations</li></ul><h2 id="the-sttoken-example-seeing-lambdas-pnl-calculation-in-action">The stToken Example: Seeing Lambda's PnL Calculation in Action</h2>Let's walk through a detailed example with a staking token that automatically increases in balance over time:Timeline:<ul><li>January 3, 2023: Initial purchase of 1 stToken at $200</li><li>February 5, 2024: Received 1.5 additional stTokens from a friend</li><li>December 10, 2024: Unwrapped 0.5 stToken</li><li>December 31, 2024: PnL report requested</li></ul><h3 id="step-1-dividing-into-intervals">Step 1: Dividing into Intervals</h3>Lambda divides this into multiple intervals:<ul><li>12 monthly points (Jan 2023 through Dec 2024)</li><li>4 additional points for user activities (purchase, top-up, withdrawal, current time)</li></ul>This creates intervals like:<ul><li>Jan 3 - Feb 1, 2023</li><li>Feb 1 - Feb 5, 2023</li><li>Feb 5 - Mar 1, 2023</li><li>...and so on</li></ul><h3 id="step-2-tracking-data-points">Step 2: Tracking Data Points</h3>For each interval, we record:<ul><li>Beginning and ending token balances</li><li>Beginning and ending token prices</li></ul><h3 id="step-3-calculating-interval-pnl">Step 3: Calculating Interval PnL</h3>For each period, the calculation works like this:  <table style="border:none;border-collapse:collapse;"><colgroup><col width="121"><col width="150"><col width="136"><col width="169"><col width="70"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:34pt"><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'IBM Plex Sans',sans-serif;color:#003057;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Interval</td><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'IBM Plex Sans',sans-serif;color:#003057;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Token Balance Change</td><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'IBM Plex Sans',sans-serif;color:#003057;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Token Price Change</td><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'IBM Plex Sans',sans-serif;color:#003057;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Calculation</td><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'IBM Plex Sans',sans-serif;color:#003057;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">PnL ($)</td></tr><tr style="height:34pt"><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'IBM Plex Sans',sans-serif;color:#003057;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Jan 3 -

Lambda's PnL solution helps retain these high-value users through a genuine market differentiator—no wallet in the ecosystem currently offers true DeFi return tracking or distinguishes rewards from regular transfers.This retention advantage works on two crucial levels:<ol><li>Experienced DeFi users stay engaged when they can finally track their actual portfolio performance, keeping your most profitable customers within your ecosystem.</li><li>New users gain the confidence to explore DeFi when presented with familiar performance metrics that mirror traditional Web2 investment platforms, accelerating their journey toward becoming power users.</li></ol>By implementing Lambda's PnL tracking, wallet providers create a compelling reason for users to stay within their ecosystem rather than switching between applications or abandoning DeFi altogether when faced with performance uncertainty.<h2 id="start-tracking-your-true-defi-performance-today">Start Tracking Your True DeFi Performance Today</h2>To start tracking your true DeFi performance, you can request access to query the PnL data with Lambda.<div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://lambda.p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org#contact_us" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Request Your API Key Here</a></div>Lambda's sophisticated yet intuitive PnL calculation gives you the data-backed insights needed to increase your revenue.No more spreadsheets, manual calculations, or incomplete metrics—just clear, accurate performance tracking that captures all the nuances of your DeFi portfolio.<h2 id="corner-cases-and-faq">Corner Cases and FAQ</h2>Q: Can I evaluate PnL for positions I've already closed?A: Yes. Lambda analyzes historical data on asset acquisition and disposal prices, allowing for retroactive PnL calculation even for positions that no longer exist in your portfolio.Q: How does Lambda account for swaps and bridging in PnL calculations?A: Swaps and bridging are treated as events that trigger the closing of one position and opening of another. For example, swapping ETH to USDT closes your ETH position and opens a USDT position, with each having its own PnL tracking.For immediate losses or gains during swaps (like slippage costs), Lambda will introduce a transaction-level PnL feature in Q2 that captures these effects separately from position-level PnL.Q: How does Lambda handle external transfers?A: Third-party transfers (like receiving tokens from a friend) are treated similarly to manual top-ups—they create a new interval but don't reset your entire position history.Q: How does the system handle price volatility in both base and quote currencies?A:<ul><li>USD as a base currency is stable (always = $1)</li><li>For crypto assets, we use historical price feeds that capture all volatility</li><li>Calculations are performed at interval boundaries to capture significant price movements</li></ul>Q: How does Lambda handle withdrawals and top-ups?A:<ul><li>Full withdrawals mark the end of a position</li><li>Partial withdrawals create a new interval but maintain position continuity</li><li>Top-ups (additions to existing positions) create new intervals with the combined balance going forward</li></ul>Want to experience the power of Lambda's PnL tracking for yourself?<a href="https://p2p.org/contact?ref=p2p.org"> </a><a href="https://lambda.p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org#contact_us">Contact our team</a> today to learn how our staking solutions can optimize your crypto portfolio while providing unparalleled transparency into your portfolio performance.Website: <a href="https://lambda.p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">https://lambda.p2p.org/</a><hr>The information provided above is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as, or relied upon as, investment, financial, or any other type of professional advice.

symbiotic Symbiotic Pre-Deposit Migration Guide: How to Move Your Assets to Live Vaults

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

The upgrade offers a significant opportunity for stakers, introducing more flexibility in balancing risk and reward. For the first time, stakers can dramatically reduce their exposure to penalties while maintaining attractive yields. At P2P.org, we're ready to help you understand and utilize these changes with personally tailored staking solutions designed around your individual risk tolerance.This new era of Ethereum staking combines security with improved returns – a combination that was previously impossible to achieve. Whether you're a conservative staker seeking maximum protection or a growth-oriented staker looking to optimize, the Pectra upgrade opens up new possibilities for customizing your staking strategy.<h3 id="eip-7251-in-a-nutshell">EIP-7251 in a nutshell</h3><a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7251?ref=p2p.org">Ethereum Improvement Proposal #7251</a>, also known as the Maximum Effective Balance (MEB) Increase, will address the inefficiencies of the current Ethereum staking design. This update will enable allocating up to 2048 ETH for a single validator alongside other important improvements and changes, such as auto-compounding and validator consolidations. We have shared more information about the upcoming changes in validator economics in our <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/ethereum-pectra-upgrade-a-shift-in-staking-mechanics/">recent blog post</a> about the upgrade.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXej2CRaaVhdnN3nzl0Ybcy86XlgGHRk-qT40cdnf-QXcmmTqeS5rzwPdGRoV1IsKMS1Nk343WCQfhHALbpMn-daV2Yr2stb8fOrxgYsU65nhsbcJKLd5yIinjgwM2M1QV_MkTlxOg?key=Z5eK-GkRd-O7PM9Klu8-_q4d" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1218" height="964"></figure>Img: Increased validator balance of up to 2048 ETH<h2 id="understanding-slashing-what-you-need-to-know">Understanding Slashing: What You Need to Know</h2>Think of slashing as Ethereum's security system – it's a protective measure that helps maintain the network's integrity by penalizing validators who break the rules, whether intentionally or due to technical issues. Under the current system, these penalties can be significant, but the Pectra update is about to change that in your favor.<h3 id="why-does-slashing-happen">Why Does Slashing Happen?</h3>Slashing occurs in three specific situations, and understanding them helps explain why professional management is crucial:Double Proposals (Proposing two different blocks for the same slot)<ol><ul><li>Think of this as sending two different versions of the same email. This usually happens due to technical issues with the validator setup such as using the same keys in multiple setups.</li><li>Professional operators like P2P.org have sophisticated systems to prevent this.</li></ul></ol>Double Voting (Two different votes in the same slot)<ol><ul><li>Similar to marking two different answers on a test. This is the most common cause of slashing.</li><li>This usually also occurs when the same keys are used in multiple setups or the validator software has database issues.</li></ul></ol>Instead of handling raw keys (which creates risk), we implement Threshold Signature Schemes (TSS), which split one validator key into three separate shards, requiring any two shards to create a valid signature. This 2-of-3 approach provides:<ol><ul><ol><li>Enhanced security: No single point stores the complete key</li><li>Operational flexibility: Enables node maintenance without missing attestations</li><li>Failover protection: The system remains operational even if one shard is compromised.</li></ol></ul></ol>Surround Voting (Making conflicting votes about the chain's history)<ol><ul><li>This is like giving contradictory testimonies about the same event.</li><li>This can happen if a validator either has a database problem, uses multiple keys, is affected by a bug, or is involved in malicious activity.</li><li>Professional management ensures proper synchronization at all times.</li></ul></ol>The good news? When it comes to slashing incidents, the data is reassuring: 90% are caused by double voting, 10% by double proposals, and none by surround voting. These incidents are extremely rare and typically occur when validator keys are mistakenly used across multiple validators. Working with professional operators who follow strict security protocols virtually eliminates these risks. At P2P.org, we have:<ul><li>Advanced slashing protection systems</li><li>Real-time 24/7 monitoring of validator performance</li><li>Immediate response protocols for any anomalies</li><li>Regular system audits and updates</li></ul><div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://www.p2p.org/networks/ethereum?ref=p2p.org#form" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Start Staking with P2P.org</a></div><h3 id="how-slashing-works">How Slashing Works</h3>Slashing is Ethereum's security mechanism that penalizes validators who break protocol rules. When a violation occurs, three distinct penalties come into play:<ol><li>The Initial Penalty is applied immediately when a violation is detected. Currently, it's set at 1 ETH for every 32 ETH staked. This acts as the immediate consequence for breaking protocol rules.</li><li>The Inactivity Penalty accumulates during the withdrawal period because the validator can no longer perform their duties. For a 32 ETH validator, this is currently around 0.057 ETH (as of February 2025), though the exact amount depends on the total effective balance of all validators in the network.</li><li>The Correlation Penalty increases if other validators are slashed within an 18-day window before or after the incident. This design protects against coordinated attacks by making group slashing events exponentially more expensive than isolated incidents.</li></ol>When a validator commits a violation, another validator must spot it and submit proof. Once the network confirms the violation, the initial penalty is applied immediately, and the forced withdrawal period begins. During this time, the blockchain monitors for other slashing events that might trigger correlation penalties. This creates a balanced approach where technical issues face lighter penalties, while coordinated misbehavior receives harsher treatment.<h3 id="what-changes-with-pectra">What Changes with Pectra?</h3>With the Pectra upgrade, we will experience a shift in how Ethereum handles slashing penalties, making staking significantly safer for participants:<h3 id="understanding-the-components">Understanding the Components </h3>With the upcoming Pectra upgrade, all three components of slashing are going to change:The Initial Penalty will be reduced from 1 ETH to 0.0078125 ETH per 32 ETH validator. This means that small technical mistakes or isolated incidents become far less costly. For a validator with 2048 ETH (the new maximum), the initial penalty would be 0.5 ETH - still significant but much smaller than under the current system.The Inactivity Penalty remains proportional to the validator's effective balance and continues through the 36-day withdrawal period. For context, with approximately 33.3M ETH staked (as of February 2025), a 32 ETH validator would face approximately 0.057096 ETH in inactivity penalties, while a 2048 ETH validator would see about 3.654152 ETH. These numbers vary based on changes in the total amount of ETH staked and base reward parameters.The Correlation Penalty is where Pectra introduces improvements to maintain network security while being fairer to validators. The current system's correlation penalty can be uneven due to integer division effects, but Pectra implements a new formula that ensures proportional penalties regardless of validator size. This means a single 2048 ETH validator will face the same correlation penalty as sixty-four 32 ETH validators if the same total stake is affected.<h3 id="real-world-impact">Real-World Impact</h3>Current System:<ul><li>A slashing incident affecting 32 ETH results in approximately 1.05 ETH in total penalties</li><li>This represents about 3.28% of the staked amount</li></ul>After Pectra:<ul><li>The same incident would result in only about 0.06 ETH in penalties</li><li>This represents just 0.19% of the staked amount</li></ul>This reduction in penalties won’t compromise network security because the correlation penalty still provides adequate protection against large-scale attacks. If a significant portion of validators (approaching 1/3 of total stake) are slashed simultaneously, the penalties can still result in complete stake loss, effectively deterring coordinated malicious behavior.This is a risk reduction that makes staking significantly safer for conservative investors. When combined with P2P.org's professional management and customized risk assessment, you get a sophisticated level of protection for your stake.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXf5ZLIFO15ECwt9FVGVzP_8QdR2KMdp5meyM2c1MYDvrtnQuzMNo6F9KEpq0HbHLb-etLppP7r96_uF_2NcJE7gNYJH6qCDZbjNv5ctr_JCI-Ktw0N-rcExXzneLB9StmHu-q91ow?key=Z5eK-GkRd-O7PM9Klu8-_q4d" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1600" height="788"></figure>Img: Comparison of Pre-Pectra and Post-Pectra penalties<h2 id="why-professional-management-matters">Why Professional Management Matters</h2>The importance of professional validator management becomes clear when we examine the data on slashing incidents. According to our models, the time taken to respond to an incident significantly impacts the amount of stake affected. For a 4096 ETH cluster, a 25-minute response time results in about 0.02% of stake being affected, while a slower 3-hour response increases this to around 0.1% - a fivefold increase in impact.This difference becomes even more striking when we look at pre-Pectra penalties. The same scenarios under current rules would result in penalties of 12 ETH for quick responses versus 52 ETH for slower responses, with a significant portion coming from the initial penalty. Even though Pectra reduces the initial slashing penalty dramatically (from 1 ETH to 0.0078125 ETH for 32 ETH validators), the speed of response remains crucial.Professional management makes a substantial difference in minimizing these risks. Automation tools can reduce response time to a single slot, significantly decreasing the potential for subsequent slashing events. This is particularly important because slashing incidents typically begin with an "alerting event" followed by potential "subsequent slashing events" that continue until the issue is resolved.The data shows that professional management with rapid response capabilities is crucial in reducing their impact when they occur. This becomes even more important in Pectra's environment of consolidated validators, where a single incident could affect larger amounts of stake.After all, prevention is still the best strategy. That's why P2P.org:<ul><li>Uses battle-tested validator software</li><li>Maintains separate databases for each validator group</li><li>Provides 24/7 technical monitoring</li><li>Offers rapid response to any potential issues</li></ul><h2 id="risk-management-with-p2porg">Risk Management with P2P.org</h2>At P2P.org, we understand that every staker has unique needs and concerns.

Polkadot Nominator Behaviour Research

<h3 id="preface">Preface</h3>Polkadot has a staking architecture that encourages its token holders to take significant active participation in the security of the network; a strategy game that requires frequent monitoring and re-configuring of nominators' validator set which is incentivised through financial rewards and penalties. The aim of Polkadot is to obtain a continuously revised optimal selection of validators securing their Network. However, the P2P Polkadot team noticed that many DOT nominators were not receiving consistent daily rewards which raised the question of whether the anticipated behaviour was being achieved. The following research paper is devoted to the analysis of nominators behaviour in the active participation of managing their validator set in the Polkadot network. We hope that this will not only inform nominators on how to best manage their stake, but to provide the Polkadot community with a better understanding of the current state of nominator participation, and how to best manage the expectations moving forwards.All data used for analysis in the research was obtained from publicly available sources such as MBELT and Subscan.<h3 id="how-does-polkadot-staking-work">How does Polkadot Staking work?</h3>Polkadot uses a nominated proof of stake consensus algorithm to achieve consensus in the network.Token holders can nominate their DOT holdings to validators (node operators) who will earn staking rewards on their behalf and redistribute it daily to their nominators after taking a fee for their service.Validators go through an election phase at the end of each era (24h) where the top 297 validators (ranked by volume of stake) qualify to be part of the elected set responsible for staking in the subsequent era.Nominators are given the option to nominate up to 16 validator addresses they trust. At the start of each era, through the use of Sequential Phragmén Method, each nominator's stake is allocated to one elected validator in their selected set. The aim is to evenly distribute the stake amongst validators.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/ZhD2cZBlBnJBj345F6kwQ2X7WuZ2VFO2b8cK_Q60IHqQq8Q9xsyCq_aUOr5jA0F92f1SptBgqa61klseoOummmcrh6n_H08XiqKZizaG4Jl8C39LfOpy1lZ4yC0nkrQ0TFwa5SVzmQmdYboeSQ" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy"></figure><h3 id="why-should-nominators-care-about-updating-their-validator-list">Why should nominators care about updating their validator list?</h3>Regularly updating your validator list has two key benefits; maximising rewards and ensuring the security of funds.The Polkadot protocol seeks to provide an even rewards distribution among well performing validators. Therefore, a nominator that has their stake allocated to an active validator with a lower amount of stake will receive higher rewards had their stake been allocated to a validator with a greater amount of stake. This is because the same amount of rewards will be distributed to less DOT.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ko4MROAwnoq6JDCWA6EfRUTnEjYAsYiOJcRp7QTe1U8aMTw240saLJPmmXAuuQ97SNrtA_704Vgw8zoAbaQ5EXWoduP8lHwNT6OZpDX1J9bHAKx3cErQFWdTicFS70QffzpJv-cf0UdUJEUWgA" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy"></figure>Additionally, only the top 256 nominators (ranked by the volume of their stake) will receive rewards per active validator. Which means nominators, especially ones with lower stakes, should avoid <a href="https://help.p2p.org/en/articles/5271375-over-subscribed-polkadot-dot-pool?ref=p2p.org">oversubscribed validators</a>. On the other hand, only the top 297 validators (ranked by volume of stake) qualify to be part of the elected set responsible for staking in the subsequent era. It is therefore important for nominators to verify whether their validator set contains some validators that will likely be elected in the next era.If any of their validators stop behaving accordingly, it is important for nominators to remove them from their list to avoid being slashed. Validators, including their nominators, can be punished financially for compromising the security of the network. This incentivises nominators to only nominate trustworthy validators, which in turn creates a strong set of validators to secure the network.While it is clear that nominators curating their validator set increases the network performance by ensuring a continuously renewed optimal validator set, it is important to note that the staking architecture should be developed in a way where the cost of researching and updating the validator set is not greater than the rewards earned. The lower the stake of a nominator, the lower the rewards earned for a similar amount of research required. It can therefore be estimated that nominators with lower stake are more likely to inadequately re-configure their validator set.<h3 id="investigation-into-the-missed-rewards">Investigation into the missed rewards</h3>The aim of this research was to see how often nominators were missing out on rewards. We collected data from all 22500 active nominators on June 20 2022 and summed the number of days that nominators did not receive rewards in the last 30 days. We only included nominators that did not receive rewards for 10 or more days during the month.There are several reasons why nominators may not receive their rewards:1. The nominators do not meet the minimum stake requirement of ~120 DOT. The minimum is dynamic and is set based on the top 256 nominators of a validator receiving rewards.2. Their nominated validator set is being mismanaged by selecting oversubscribed validators in their list or by only having validators that are not elected.3. Validators did not pay out the rewards by increasing commissions to 100%.The below graph charts our findings.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/13JffpFYTi_crQca1bigWYqOKzwQH2SyReN2tXEMql2mPFAE6e0NL3OtRqujKQiUu_Gx21_j0KHuAroIl_gX6R3ce8Zq6VDmJy8MxFOdJyKKtOq1vMjXcN9H9LU218KuLmqrGYvVfhVtj03iHg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy"></figure>A total of 2 166 nominators holding 1 928 751 DOT stake did not receive rewards for 10 or more days. Out of the nominators that we retrieved, 89 had a stake greater than 500 DOT, 2 050 with a stake between 120 (the minimum stake) and 500 DOT, and only 27 with less than 120 DOT.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/sK2EPkb75eOxZ76Oj7vJppGfNgroiCZplO_AMivZvFmcK-LTTcmMwdPTLLYVADDcsE84VlZJlW39fwcLC60SRsIDm2WnkBzqLZBszmIQKFIhw1lKri_USxsH9n3E_vD962zHVTeUQkWzaGM_Rg" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy"></figure>A total of 2139 out of 22,500 (~10%) nominators with stakes over the minimum requirement (120 DOT) did not receive rewards for 10 or more days of rewards and are currently being left out of at least 1/3 of potential rewards.Our data points to the fact that there is a clear lack of participation in the management of the selection of validators from retail token holders.Further research needs to be made to specify whether this lack of participation comes from the insufficient knowledge from individual token holders, or whether the labour required to research and reconfigure validator sets is too large versus the earnings they make from staking. In either case, it is clear that the process needs to be made simpler to retail clients.While there are significant amounts of educational material out there to guide users on how to manage their stake, the extensiveness of the guides available can be daunting for beginners.Polkadot.js is arguably the most popular analytical tool provided by the community to help curate a nominators validator set, however it is complex. There needs to be more made available tools (such as <a href="https://yieldscan.app/setup-wallet?ref=p2p.org">yieldscan</a>) that incorporate ease of use and choice given to the nominator. In the meantime, we have created a list of active and undersubscribed validators to help nominators select a set that will generate daily rewards. You can find it below.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OCS5YALL7Dt_C5SWHEG7Zzxc6OqHtC5e9lQHfjH8f8c/edit#gid=0<h3 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h3>The security of the Polkadot network relies on the active participation of nominators. Our investigation has highlighted that, while Polkadot’s idea to gain an edge in becoming the securest validator is a great concept, the execution hasn't seen the uptake they were hoping for. There is a high % of individual token holders that are currently not receiving daily rewards due to the lack of participation in the relatively complex staking architecture. There are a lot of compelling reasons for nominators to be participating in Polkadot’s architecture but the complexity of the system and the time investment for those with less stake can be off-putting.As the number of nominators are on the uptrend, it is important for the development of more user-friendly tools to simplify the inclusion and participation of all nominators while still giving them freedom of choice. If Polkadot can find a way to simplify its architecture and invest in more user friendly tools, not only will it attract more retail nominators but also highly likely the uptake of retail nominators consistently updating their validators becomes significantly higher, leading to the selection of a more optimal validator set to secure the network.<h3 id="about-p2p">About P2P</h3><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Staking</a> is a world-leading staking provider with the best industry security practices and proven expertise.

We are pleased to announce that P2P has launched an MEV-enabled client on Solana validators which will allow P2P stakers to receive extra rewards from MEV starting today. Maximum extractable value (MEV) is a growing capability in blockchain. It refers to the maximum profit a validator can make through its ability to include, exclude, or reorder transactions in the blocks it creates. By running a MEV-enabled client on validators, P2Ps gain access to MEV Opportunities, which can increase staker APR while having a positive impact on the quality of the Solana network.<h3 id="mev-boosted-client-adoption">MEV-boosted client adoption</h3>To maximize MEV rewards for stakers, P2P will use the open-source Jito-Solana Client, which has been <a href="https://jito-foundation.gitbook.io/mev/audits/audits?ref=p2p.org">audited by Neodyme</a>, a leading security and blockchain auditing firm. Jito-Solana represents a meaningful improvement to Solana’s validator software. It was intentionally designed to maximize MEV rewards and optimize their distribution to network validators and stakers. In addition, Jito-Solana was designed to combat spam and improve network efficiency. One of the ways that Jito-Solana achieved this is through its optimization of transaction processing. Jito-Solana offers more efficient transaction processing by bundling transactions and optimizing transaction ordering, which reduces the number of duplicated and unnecessary transactions and enables faster processing times.For implementation, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the impact of the Jito MEV client on Solana’s network performance and adoption among Solana validators. You can find the full report <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/jitos-mev-boosted-client-adoption-impact-on-solana-validators-performance/">here</a>. The key takeaways are:<ul><li>The Jito client has been gaining traction among Solana validator operators, as reflected by the growing number of validators running the client (currently 80), their total active stake (~55M SOL), and their market share (~15%).</li><li>We also observed a decrease in the average active stake per validator using the Jito client which indicates that more validators with smaller stakes are adopting the software. This trend is a positive sign as it shows that even smaller validators can successfully run the Jito client. The Jito client democratizes access to MEV with equal treatment for all validators. The growth in adoption by lower-stake validators demonstrates a strong interest in MEV opportunities from a community that was previously unable to access these benefits.</li><li>The total Jito-generated MEV rewards are currently relatively low due to limited adoption and lack of MEV searcher participation. This situation should improve with broader adoption of the client and as searchers become more accustomed to the new tools. We observed a significant increase in MEV rewards after January 2023 suggesting that a large DeFi participant started using Jito's MEV extraction tools and we believe that others will soon follow.</li><li>Jito-enabled validators have shown higher average uptime, a higher number of vote credits, and a significantly higher stake-weighted average block production rate.</li><li>Careful statistical analysis showed that block production rate for validators that switched to the Jito client has increased significantly. The increase is likely due to the more efficient transaction processing enabled by the Jito client's optimized block engine.</li></ul><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/YjlzfIMapEo0xV1CVCjMjZYeX1VMVKYrb-_mYKrB5D0_Ts3e6SqmHxcAnZOSO2fhMr1gA0lWNRPABEWSp62KhP5ZeU4P4AlhJgCPmj_ro9r-SV-hoEPLfV-tWq5oj-L-JpZ0aIhJU2h-0GSLwgDuUwI" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="624" height="361"></figure>Based on our research, we believe that the Jito client is a valuable addition to the Solana ecosystem, providing validators and their delegates with a new revenue stream from MEV capabilities while also improving the Solana network stability. Feel free to view the validator performance data, MEV validators rewards, MEV stakers rewards, and more using the public P2P Validator dashboard at: <a href="https://reports.p2p.org/superset/dashboard/jito_client_adoption/?ref=p2p.org">https://reports.p2p.org/superset/dashboard/jito_client_adoption/</a>.<h3 id="security-assurance">Security assurance</h3>To implement the MEV client on P2P nodes, automation was prepared and tested to seamlessly switch between Jito and the standard Solana client with 0-downtime in this case. Infrastructure security is the most important thing and we would like to add details about the possible security risks validators may face when switching to the Jito client.Basically, Jito client is a set of patches applied to a standard Solana client, so theoretically it may have new vulnerabilities or performance degradations in some situations on current or future releases. We discussed these issues with Jito labs and found that 2 independent auditors checked Jito code base and checked the stability of the client on our testnet validator.Although the probability of validator performance degradation caused by Jito client is not zero, we don’t think it is a big problem since we always monitor the performance of our validators against cluster average performance statistics (vote success rate, block skip rate) with automated alerting if performance issues are detected. Generally, our monitoring system will allow us to make quick decisions about falling back to a standard Solana client.There are certain things that must be taken into account when switching to a standard Solana client:<ul><li>Solana Foundation releases a new client with a request to update immediately. Usually, it happens, when the Foundation wants to close a vulnerability or fix stability issues. Jito labs need days or weeks to release its patched version (since it requires a lot of testing) so in such cases, we will switch to the standard client and wait for the Jito client release.</li><li>We detect abnormal behavior of a validator according to our monitoring metrics or detect significant performance degradation (for example vote success rate is lower than the cluster average).</li><li>We receive information from public or closed sources about a vulnerability revealed in the Jito client. In this case, all our validators immediately get moved to a standard client and we will get in touch with Jito labs to clarify the situation.</li></ul>If switching to a standard client happened and it has been going on for more than 2 weeks we will notify you about that on our <a href="https://twitter.com/P2Pvalidator?ref=p2p.org">Twitter</a>, so please subscribe to our Twitter to be up-to-date about our servicesWe believe that adopting the Jito client will drive MEV rewards. Performance should also improve even further as the client becomes more widely adopted and as searchers become accustomed to the new tools.<h3 id="sharing-mev-rewards-with-sol-stakers">Sharing MEV rewards with SOL stakers</h3>New and old P2P stakers alike have the opportunity to increase their revenue through extra MEV rewards. P2P will take an 8% commission from MEV rewards, distributing 92% of the rewards to stakers, according to their share.The Jito Tip Distribution Program is the on-chain program that collects and distributes MEV rewards to eligible validators and stakers. At the end of an epoch, the MEV rewards earned by a validator are stored in a special account derived from the validator's vote account and the corresponding epoch.Once the epoch is over, the validator generates a data structure containing the rewards claims for all validators and stake accounts and uploads it on-chain. Then validators and stakers receive the MEV rewards in the form of an automatic airdrop performed by Jito to the validators’ vote accounts and stakers stake accounts. The claim action is permissionless, meaning others could execute it if Jito failed to do so properly. Note that distributed rewards are not automatically staked (auto compounded) and the stake account owner is required to withdraw or stake the airdropped rewards.Stakers and validators can check their rewards using the <a href="https://reports.p2p.org/superset/dashboard/jito_client_adoption/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator’s dashboard with Jito & MEV </a>statistics or <a href="https://jito.retool.com/embedded/public/e9932354-a5bb-44ef-bce3-6fbb7b187a89?ref=p2p.org">Jito’s MEV rewards dashboard</a>. Anyone can check their rewards using public explorers, the details to do so are available in <a href="https://jito-foundation.gitbook.io/mev/mev-payment-and-distribution/faqs?ref=p2p.org">Jito’s documentation</a>.<h3 id="about-p2p">About P2P</h3>P2P Validator began in 2018 with a mission to positively influence the development of POS technologies. At the time of the latest update, more than 750 million USD value is staked with P2P Validator by over 35,000 delegators across 40+ networks. We work closely with each network we support to push the developments of each project to new limits. Beginning as seed investors and validating from the genesis block, we have shown tremendous support to the Solana ecosystem since day one and are now trusted with over $120m under management. Our proficiency is shown not only by our excellent validating track record & our published research papers written on network performance (<a href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/journal/solana-validators-performance-research-report-part-1-downtime-analysis/?ref=p2p.org">Downtime</a>, <a href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/journal/solana-validators-performance-research-report-part-2-skip-rate-analysis/?ref=p2p.org">Skip Rate</a>) to improve the network health and development, but also by our involvement across projects including <a href="https://portalbridge.com/?ref=p2p.org#/transfer">Wormhole Bridge</a>, <a href="https://pyth.network/?ref=p2p.org">Pyth</a>, and <a href="https://neon-labs.org/?ref=p2p.org">Neon EVM</a> to help build Solana’s network infrastructure.

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!

Solana Lido on Solana: Validator's Set Vision

Lido applies the same mission to all blockchains they participate in - to make staking simple, secure, and decentralized. Each of the networks has its own specifics when it comes to "what a good validator set means”.We propose a new way of developing the Lido validator's set on Solana and in our opinion, a sustainable and solid set should follow 3 principles:1. Validator set should be decentralizedAccording to <a href="https://solanabeach.io/validators?ref=p2p.org">Solana Beach</a>, there are currently 1,788 validators on Solana, giving the network a Nakamoto Coefficient of 25. This means that the top 25 validators control enough staked Solana to collude and attack the network. The<a href="https://spl.solana.com/stake-pool?ref=p2p.org"> staking pool program</a> emerged with the goal to redistribute the stakes more evenly across the network. In our view, to create a decentralized set, we must adhere to the following rules:<ul><li>Increase the number of independent entities that create and maintain infrastructure for the network.</li><li>Increase censorship resistance by reducing the concentration of stake in the same data centers and jurisdictions.</li><li>Not distribute stake to the superminority group of validators.</li></ul>To make the Lido on Solana validator set more decentralized we plan to:<ul><li>Not add validators nodes from the superminority group to the Lido validator set</li><li>Increase the number of distributed nodes in the pool by removing barriers in the form of 100% commission nodes.</li><li>Bring in validators from other ecosystems and non-crypto projects.</li><li>Train new operators to configure and run nodes.</li><li>Assist validators with server configuration and data center location.</li><li>Onboard independent validators into the Solana cluster and Lido pool</li></ul>2. The set must be attractive for validatorsTo ensure a highly available and secure staking infrastructure, it is critical to consider the long-term sustainability of the operator and the ability to fund new equipment. Operators are responsible for managing risks, maintaining their node, ensuring the highest uptime possible, troubleshooting errors. To make the set more attractive to validators, we must adhere to the following rules:<ul><li>Operators must earn well enough to build a profitable, reliable staking business.</li><li>Validator nodes must be able to participate in subsidy programs (ex. SFDP)</li><li>Operators should receive marketing support to attract stakes.</li></ul>To make the Lido on Solana validator set more attractive to validators, we will do the following:<ul><li>Change the <a href="https://github.com/ChorusOne/solido?ref=p2p.org">smart contract</a> by removing 100% of nodes and adding the ability to use a public node in a cluster to participate in the Lido program</li><li>Create a P&L tool to calculate validator yield and share it with the community.</li><li>Provide marketing support to validators in Lido’s set to increase the stake on their public node and help to build a profitable staking business.</li></ul>3. The validator set has to bring value to the networkValidator performance metrics are, in our opinion, one of the most important criteria for developing the Solana ecosystem. The faster, cheaper, and more sustainable the network, the easier it is to attract investments, partners, and NFT/DeFi/P2E project developers, leading to the development of a sustainable community and product ecosystem. For DeFi users, speed of transactions is important; for oracles, the ability to quickly provide more detailed data on a large number of quotes; for developers, a better user experience; for stakers, greater rewards on average and higher SOL price growth potential.To make the set more productive and sustainable the following rules should be adhered to:<ul><li>Operators must understand the value of metrics and be able to compare their performance with the best on the network</li><li>Operators must be notified about software updates</li><li>Operators must understand how to update without downtime</li></ul>To make the Lido on Solana validator set more stable and productive, we will do the following:<ul><li>Publish our vision of "good validator" performance metrics</li><li>Make a public dashboard displaying validator metrics</li><li>Make a system of alerts for problems with validator performance in the pool</li><li>Conduct education and share best practices for validator management in Solana</li></ul><h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>There are ~384.5M SOL staked on the Solana network, of which only ~9.7M SOL is distributed among various staking pools. P2P has partnered with Lido and stSOL since their launch as a validator and has been involved in the development of TVL in collaboration with Lido through incentives, integrations, and more. We see great potential for the development of liquid staking, which will increase economic activity and the speed of the economy in a decentralized network. Three key principles will form the basis of our new strategy:<ul><li>Truly decentralize the validator network by simplifying entry and adding validators from other ecosystems.</li><li>Make the network economically attractive for validators by dropping 100% nodes and marketing support from Lido</li><li>Ensure that the validator set works better for the network to ensure transactions are passed and various applications are running on the network. </li></ul>If you have ideas or suggestions for achieving our principles, we are always open to community feedback and consider it very important.Join the new validator set! Together we will make Solana even more decentralized and sustainable!

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. We provide comprehensive due-diligence of digital assets and offer only high class staking opportunities.

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.

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. Stake your NU via <a href="https://stake.nucypher.network/manage/stake?ref=p2p.org">NuCypher dashboard → stake</a>. Note that the staking balance here differs from the number in the previous step. Its UI feature, 40,001 T on the bonding page equals 12,274 NU on the staking page (1 NU = 3.259 T).There may be a UI bug on the threshold dashboard showing migrated stakes. You can use <a href="https://stake.nucypher.network/manage?ref=p2p.org">NuCypher dashboard</a> to check it.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/image-3.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1286" height="634" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/04/image-3.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/04/image-3.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/image-3.png 1286w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>2.

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. The extra CRE that you received after unstaking are the rewards that you earned during your time staking. <h2 id="how-to-stake-cre">How to Stake CRE</h2><ol><li>The first thing you'll want to do is to go to: <a href="https://app.crescent.network/staking?ref=p2p.org">Crescent staking page</a>.</li><li>Once there, connect your Keplr wallet: select "Connect Wallet" in the upper right corner. </li></ol><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/04/image-8.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="861" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/04/image-8.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/04/image-8.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2022/04/image-8.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2022/04/image-8.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>3.

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.

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.
