Staking Which PoS Token Should I Stake?

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

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

Interoperability is the key to blockchain usability, allowing to leverage each blockchains value amongst each other. The architecture of Polkadot consists of the main relay chain and its multiple parachains. The relay chain is responsible for governance and ensuring shared consensus amongst all parachains. Parachains are individual networks with their own use case which all share their state with the relay chain, and can communicate amongst each other to avoid relay chain congestion. Separate blockchains can also be linked to the Polkadot ecosystem via bridges. With its experimental sister chain - Kusama - developed as a testing environment network for Polkadot, as well as its use of treasury, the Polkadot network is also designed around innovation and rapid implementation.

Using a Proof-of-History (PoH) consensus mechanism, Solana has the capacity to handle an impressive 710,000 transactions per second with extremely low transaction fees. PoH is similar to PoS, however it uses an element of time providing specific timestamps to blocks, improving the organisation of block validation and allowing for a quicker sequencing. Using the RUST programming language, Solana enables the creation of smart contracts which can be run in a parallel manner. Solana has experienced extraordinary growth and brand recognition and is one of the stronger cryptocurrencies in 2021.

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

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

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

At the outset, validators are incentivized by gradually decreasing emission schedule and transaction fees. Oasis native token is a staking unit with limited liquidity and low volatility serving the purpose of securing the network and incentivizing nodes to follow the protocol rules. Transaction fees are also denominated in ROSE as well as a payment for provided computations.Website: <a href="https://oasisprotocol.org/?ref=p2p.org">https://oasisprotocol.org/</a> Twitter: https://twitter.com/OasisProtocol P2P Staking Page: <a href="https://p2p.org/oasis?ref=p2p.org">https://p2p.org/oasis</a> Guides: <a href="https://help.p2p.org/en/articles/5595660-oasis-rose-staking-guide?ref=p2p.org">Oasis official wallet</a> <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/02/image-41.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="455" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/02/image-41.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/02/image-41.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2022/02/image-41.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2022/02/image-41.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Terra protocol is a public blockchain built using the cosmos SDK with the intention to create a mass payment processing system as well as creating algorithmic stablecoins.

NEAR is designed with security and performance at the core, allowing developers to create applications which manage high-value assets including money, identity and contractual information, whilst at the same time allowing for quick and efficient access. With a focus on providing developers with a clean, user-friendly experience, NEARs approach to development is one focused around accessibility and scaling blockchain applications to accelerate the world’s transition to open, decentralized technologies. The protocol is a public, sharded, developer-friendly, proof-of-stake blockchain, making it an efficient platform due to its scalability and ease of use. NEAR is compatible with Ethereum 1.0 today providing a complete integration with Solidity contracts (without the need for rewrites). Furthermore, an ETH-NEAR bridge allows for cross-chain interoperability and communication.

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

This is realised by using “Adaptive State Sharding'' which combines three different sharding types, State, Transactions and Network sharding. Elrond also utilises a novel approach to Proof-of-Staking called “Secure Proof of Stake”. This streamlines and optimises a lot of the computational work resulting in better network performance. The Elrond network also supports a native token, eGold, that is used to pay for transaction fees and reward stakers for securing the network. As a way to reward developers and increase network adoption, Elrond allows 30% of the smart contracts fees to be earned as royalties.

Critical smart-contract bugs result in million dollar losses for developers and users of dApps. They are still considered risky and difficult to use. Agoric simplifies building an application allowing developers to focus on it's purpose and makes interaction with contracts much safer. With the Zoe framework developed by Agoric even a buggy contract won't lead to the loss of funds put inside as they become automatically escrowed. Another well-known problem is a lack of developers in crypto. Inflow of new talents can boost the ecosystem’s growth adding to composability. JavaScript remains the most fast-growing programming language having over 10 millions developers all over the world. We believe that a composable framework built by Agoric is capable of attracting a significant portion of JavaScript developers into the space.Website: https://agoric.com/ Whitepaper: https://agoric.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Agoric-White-Paper-v1.0-1.pdf Twitter: https://twitter.com/agoric P2P Staking Page: <a href="https://p2p.org/agoric?ref=p2p.org">https://p2p.org/agoric</a> Guide: <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/staking-agoric-with-keplr-wallet/">Keplr</a> <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2022/02/image-45.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="455" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2022/02/image-45.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2022/02/image-45.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2022/02/image-45.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2022/02/image-45.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Agriculture sustainability and its impact on climate change is potentially one of the most important problems we need to tackle.

Persistence provides a SDK toolkit to easily build dapps connected to the main chain. Each dapp runs their own chain but are all secured within the Persistence blockchain. Not only will each dapps easily interact with each other, they will be able to take advantage of Cosmos’ IBC, allowing the transfer of tokens and information to multiple other blockchains outside Cosmos. Its native token is XPRT, a utility token used to pay for fees among the dapps in the Persistence ecosystem. These fees will be placed in a pool and redistributed to XPRT token holders who are staking. If the ecosystem attracts high demand, this could result in significant returns for early XPRT token holders. Additionally, the XPRT token also gives you the right to participate in governance, giving you a say in the direction of the network.

Kusama Kusama Validator Offline Offence - Post Mortem

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

Near Near Incident - Post Mortem

<h2 id="tldr">TLDR</h2> Due to a sudden spike of transactions, mainnet validator node ran out of disk space, leading to inability to produce blocks and corruption of the node state.<h2 id="what-happened">What happened?</h2> Disk usage grew quite fast and mainnet pool p2p-org.poolv1.near stopped producing blocks since ~07:00 UTC on 16th of January. Epoch ended ~10:00 UTC and by that time the node had surpassed the epochal kick-out threshold for downtime. Therefore, it was scheduled for temporary kick-out for the next two epochs. While resolving the issue, the validator remained offline for the following epoch resulting in one additional forfeit epoch. Overall, the node was offline for ~3,25 epochs and the validator pool lost 4 full epochs of staking rewards.<h2 id="what-went-wrong">What went wrong?</h2> The potential impact of the issue was underestimated.It was expected to rely on a recent state snapshot that would be readily available. We had no cold backup of a recent node state while available backup nodes were subject to the same issue leading to a loss of access to a synced node. In fact, the official public back-up archives were corrupted too. A <a href="https://github.com/near/nearcore/issues/6095?ref=p2p.org">GitHub issue</a> was created afterwards.Monitoring was insufficient.Near validation infrastructure was undergoing an overhaul, some monitoring facilities were offline. It was expected that the amount of space used on disk would grow more or less linearly. With ~100 GiB of free space it could last for a month. Space clogged up in a matter of days while disk monitoring was not set appropriately to catch the spike and warn in advance.<h2 id="what-went-well">What went well?</h2> It was immediately notified that node stopped producing blocks and the root cause was identified almost simultaneously. Quite a few validators were affected by the issue, and the community was very helpful.<h2 id="impact-on-clients">Impact on clients</h2> All our Near delegators were affected and lost four epochs of staking rewards. To compensate our delegators in full and mitigate their loss, P2P waived the fees until the end of February.<h2 id="lessons-learned">Lessons learned</h2> We should have had better monitoring and collecting disk usage metrics from all nodes at all times including mainnet, backup and Near RPC node. It is important to ensure that back-up nodes are running & synced at all times. In addition, it is important to establish the process of making cold snapshots of the node state on a regular basis and spread this practice to all available networks.P2P takes full responsibility for the event that led to the weak performance and we are sorry for the inconvenience. Please be assured that P2P is taking actions to eliminate even a small probability of such an event occurring in future.<hr>If you have any questions feel free to join our<a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org"> Telegram chat</a>, we are always open for communication.

Vega VEGA Staking is Now Live at P2P!

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

Vega Vega (VEGA) Staking Guide For Windows

We have created a step-by-step guide to help you stake your Vega (VEGA) on Windows. If you are using a Mac instead you can find a guide <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-macs/">here</a>. For those of you who have their tokens locked on Coinlist: Coinlist will support staking. More information will have to come from them about how they will manage it. To redeem unlocked VEGA tokens from Coinlist, you can do so <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/vega-vega-staking-guide-using-windows/token.vega.xyz">here</a>. You will have to go through the following steps to successfully stake your VEGA: I. Create your Vega Wallet (If you have already done so skip to the next step) II. Connect to a network III. Stake your VEGABefore we start, make sure you have VEGA in a Metamask wallet (token contract can be found <a href="https://token.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">here</a>) as well as ETH to pay for transaction fees. The gas fees are variable and Vega has no control over it. <h3 id="i-create-your-vega-wallet-if-you-have-already-done-so-skip-to-the-next-step-">I. Create your Vega Wallet (If you have already done so skip to the next step) </h3>1. The first thing that you will want to do is download the right zip file of the releases from the<a href="https://github.com/vegaprotocol/vegawallet/releases/?ref=p2p.org"> Vega Wallet GitHub rep</a>.On Windows download: vegawallet-windows-amd64.zipMake sure you remember where to find it as you will need to know it for the steps ahead (to make following this guide easier, simply save the zip file in your "Downloads" folder so the below examples can be copy/pasted).2. When you open the file you might be prompted with this screen:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/U2Fbz6AYhxvRDC1tainCEaM6nS6TsujT69wuluQjP5t22m-FCDtI9g3xNDE-DWlXA1-C-H7VC2s36EiDQS8kWs03j6OTZ-TaXWe1XGpCDJ-0nEd2FxWyi9fkCOfIw_B-zGxPAvtp" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Press "More info" and then "Run anyway".3. You will need to open a command prompt to initialize the wallet. Open a new terminal page and navigate to the location where the downloaded file is stored. To indicate where the commands will run you can use the command "cd". For example, I have saved my file in the “downloads” folder so I used the command "cd downloads".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="982" height="118" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 982w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>4. Once you have specified the folder to run the command, you will now need to initialise the wallet. This creates the folder, the configuration files, and default networks needed by the wallet to operate. Use the following command "vegawallet init":<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.26.38.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="860" height="42" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.26.38.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.26.38.png 860w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>If you are experiencing any issues with this step, you can try to do the following command instead: "vegawallet init --force".5. The next step will be to create your username for the wallet. Use the following command: "vegawallet key generate --wallet "YOUR_USERNAME"" . Make sure there are no spaces in your username. Example below:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.30.12.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="864" height="38" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.30.12.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.30.12.png 864w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>6. You will then have to create your password. Note that when typing you will not see what is being typed, this is intended and it will be recorded. Select enter once you have written it.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.31.08.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="844" height="104" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.31.08.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.31.08.png 844w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>7. Once you have confirmed your password, the wallet will be created! You will then be given your mnemonic phrase. This phrase will be used to restore your wallet in case something happens. It is very important to write it down and to record it somewhere safe (offline) where no one will ever see it! It will not be displayed ever again so make sure you write it down correctly. You should also note down your username, public key and remember your password in order to login to your account later on.<h3 id="ii-connect-to-a-network">II. Connect to a network </h3>1. You are now ready to run the service. If you are starting with a new terminal page, make sure that you indicate where the commands will run again (where you have saved the vegawallet file). To indicate where the commands will run you can use the command "cd". For example, I have saved my file in the “downloads” folder so I used the command "cd downloads".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="982" height="118" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-17.25.55.png 982w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure> Next, you will have to select and connect to a network. To find the list of networks use the following command: "vegawallet network list".<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-68.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="404" height="56"></figure>If you do not see the network "mainnet1", run the following command: "vegawallet network import --from-url="<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml</a>"<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-12.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="852" height="136" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/11/image-12.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/11/image-12.png 852w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>If you are experiencing issues importing the mainnet network, another way to do this is to download the file “mainnet1.toml” from here: <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vegaprotocol/networks/master/mainnet1/mainnet1.toml</a>. To download it, open the page and press "Ctrl" - S and save it into the same folder where your “Vegawallet” file is. Then run the following command in the terminal: "vegawallet network import --force --from-file ./mainnet1.toml.txt"2. If properly inputed, the next step is to connect to the mainnet network. Use the following command: "vegawallet service run --network "NETWORK_NAME"". <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/12/image-2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="740" height="36" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/12/image-2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/12/image-2.png 740w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>Now that you have successfully created your wallet and connected to the network, you are ready to stake your VEGA! Make sure you keep the terminal open to stake in the next stage. <h3 id="iii-stake-your-vega">III. Stake your VEGA </h3>1. Go to the Vega staking website (<a href="https://token.vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://token.vega.xyz</a>), it is best to use Google Chrome. Make sure to disable brave shield if you are going to use the Brave browser.

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

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

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

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

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

Vega P2P Validator To Provide Vega Staking

<a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is excited to announce our upcoming launch of Vega staking. P2P will be joining the Vega Mainnet as node operators to increase network decentralization and support the security of the first network. <a href="https://vega.xyz/?ref=p2p.org">Vega</a> is a financial infrastructure protocol designed for developing and trading novel margin products on a decentralized network. Secured with PoS, Vega facilitates automated margin trading of complex products, allowing anyone to design and launch their own financial products.By staking Vega with P2P Validator, users can earn rewards on their VEGA through our non-custodial staking infrastructure. There are two variables that define the staking rewards APR: the number of tokens in the network assigned for rewards, and how many VEGA will be locked up to secure the network. These factors are likely to be variable upon network launch and better defined APR estimates will be available shortly after staking begins. Rewards are paid every epoch (daily) to the separate, non-staking account. P2P has been selected as one of the first 13 validators and we are successfully running on testnet, to be one of the first validators to launch on the Vega mainnet. For more information on how P2P can assist you with your Vega, please visit <a href="https://p2p.org/vega?ref=p2p.org">p2p.org/vega</a>.  <h3 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h3>The P2P team has extensive experience in setting up secure infrastructure.

Kusama Slashing Event in Kusama - Post Mortem

<h3 id="summary">Summary</h3>115 validators of different staking providers received "unapplied slash" during the era 2249 in Kusama due to not sending "I'm online" signal. 45 out of 115 validators are P2P validators where a possible slash would be around 0.6% of active stake.Unapplied status means that it can be reverted through governance action, which is exactly what happened in that case.<h3 id="customer-impact">Customer Impact</h3>All slashings have been reverted and no customer funds are impacted thanks to councils who supported the request and voted for the <a href="https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/295?ref=p2p.org">motion 295</a> to cancel the slashing.<h2 id="what-happened">What Happened</h2>Almost all of the active P2P Validator nodes were running 0.9.0 version. Monitoring showed perfect performance although sometimes we detected CPU spikes during the election.On May 13, there was a release note issued for the <a href="https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases/tag/v0.9.1?ref=p2p.org">0.9.1 version</a>. The release had “Low (upgrade at your convenience)” upgrade priority. P2P started to roll out this version gradually because this is our SoP for low priority upgrades.On May 14, we got a notification via Kusama Validator Lounge chat which said: “Just a heads up that the 9010 runtime upgrade will happen in ~55 minutes at block 7,468,792. If your node is not on at least version v0.9.0, it will not be able to sync after that”After the runtime 9010 had been applied, part of our monitoring services based on @polkadot-js/api stopped working due to it being an older version than required with the fresh runtime upgrade. We had an alert which would have been triggered if all CPU cores had 95%+ load at once, but as only one core had been overloaded, it didn't fire. Therefore, we didn’t figure out that a number of our nodes would get slashed. It took about 40 mins to understand what exactly had happened.See diagrams:CPU time of node under v0.9.0 that experienced CPU load during the election.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/xbMcNNQasSYF-CWTDqRaczqDUKVhZcf2FFbTC5_ubeGcZs1mpMGCES6MOxYgZxW0NtLCNl4Nzcb5qNp5IzYk0BcgHQCrp2s0qVazGGMvct2QbkIgbpMlDX0dfNGcSPE373RGV0pJ" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>CPU time of node under v0.9.1 - no spikes<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/uqe0ePHHepSaTDa5rueOthMvifsFhezANDS7Y-vkQ5QxbfSO1QuPJbHiqVcwf9I8Xshh7pd2uzS-VWtzbZEGtJzgO02JojrjRAAaOEZwpaVdiAMNg835F0KHctcxPkuSUEab1XGO" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Logs records nodes running on v0.9.0Looking at logs it becomes clear that after the runtime upgrade, nodes were experiencing some issues with performance.

Marlin Marlin Protocol (POND) Staking Guide

A step-by-step guide on how to stake POND/MPOND tokens using the Marlin staking platform together with Metamask or Wallet Connect.Marlin is a layer-0 protocol focused on network-layer performance, security and robustness. Marlin Protocol speeds up block propagation of existing blockchains to enable higher throughput. <h2 id="marlin-protocol-staking">Marlin Protocol Staking</h2>When you stake POND or MPOND tokens, you are increasing the security of the Marlin network while earning more POND tokens by delegating your tokens to clusters that participate in Marlin network.If you own a hardware device such as a Ledger Nano S or X, we strongly suggest using it for your staking operations. The process is pretty much the same as described in this guide. The only difference is that you need to sign transactions via your hardware device instead of using your browser. Staking your POND/MPOND via the Marlin staking platform or the MetaMask wallet involves two main steps:Step 1: Connecting your MetaMask wallet address to the Marlin staking platform.Step 2: Creating a stash and delegating your POND/MPOND tokens to P2P. <h3 id="step-1-connect-your-metamask-wallet-address">Step 1: Connect your MetaMask wallet address</h3>Visit <a href="https://arb1.marlin.org/relay/stash?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://arb1.marlin.org/relay/stash</a> and connect your ETH address with POND or MPOND. Note that the address must be connected to the Ethereum network. After a successful connection, click the "Add Stash" button.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/e71eaCnmsZUS8rZtjYf4Pv7KYUDCbdARRUGvgi6tlvEJMvn19IHa-XjVCl5QY51ncHydYissIGJG1dqTgT74eD1xPZ2Ul4J3t0jTkZv9uKdlpUAnA6egSDeFHdrzqIDkOqFn_U8M" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure><h3 id="step-2-create-a-stash-and-delegate-pond-mpond">Step 2: Create a stash and delegate POND/MPOND</h3>To delegate your tokens to the cluster you must create a stash. Tokens are moved to a stash and then you can choose whichever cluster the tokens in the stash should be delegated to. You can have multiple stashes to delegate to multiple clusters. This just provides more flexibility.To get started with a delegation, enter the number of PONDs/MPONDs you plan to delegate, as well as the operator address as follows:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1026" height="814" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png 1026w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><div class="note-card"> P2P Validator Operator Addresses: <ul> <li>0x6017b5df98118730e4c31b17c5a7438ecaa8887b</li> <li>0x785ceab6bec10ca9634bce3a60f4124add801f0c</li> <li>0xcbebfc74163cf5777a58201702e27dbfded6e2f5</li> </ul> </div><blockquote>We recommend that you create several stashes at the first stage to deposit some of your funds. This is because the probability of choosing a cluster is quadratic. Clusters with a large number of delegations may give lower returns. The un-delegation period is 30 days. We will monitor the performance of our cluster and take the necessary actions to increase the profitability of our delegates.</blockquote>To stake POND, a user must first make an Approve transaction before creating a Stash. If you are going to create multiple stash accounts, you can make an Approve transaction for the full amount of one transaction and then create stash accounts afterwards.Approve the numbers and click the Confirm button and confirm the transaction on the MetaMask wallet. In order to succeed, you will need to have ETH to pay for the transaction fee. After the transaction, it takes some time for your stash to be reflected in the interface. <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/NL-uMdZmSGpVjf7qVHGjL6d7badtQ_p5dcTUjo-R_K9ynsIhID0YQNssbnRhqcIWt_KSr7LBGGUSS_CfNXdU-TjyawOrcMMJZ-2kP8uGZDqzJBGEHcFPEZGleomMEXUaixOd1F-V" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure><blockquote>If you don't see your stash for a long time, make a hard reload of the page by pressing ctrl/cmd + shift + R.</blockquote>After successfully creating a stash, you will see all the information about your POND/MPOND Delegation within the interface.

Staking, TheGraph Graph Network - Brief Overview

The Graph Network is an indexing protocol built for the decentralised web. Users of the Graph Network can build and share open APIs across Ethereum and IPFS to allow for fast and reliable blockchain data access. Data is managed and processed via open networks, providing users with verifiable integrity.<h2 id="current-network-state">Current network state</h2>The Graph Network was <a href="https://medium.com/graphprotocol/introducing-the-graph-4a281b28203e?ref=p2p.org">introduced</a> in July 2018 and launched their <a href="https://thegraph.com/blog/the-graph-network-launches-mainnet?ref=p2p.org">mainnet</a> this year, on December 17th, as the first decentralized blockchain data network.The Graph Network works to improve access to decentralized applications through public and open APIs named subgraphs. Subgraphs dictate which data the network will index from Ethereum, as well as how this data is stored. Upon deployment, a subgraph forms part of a global blockchain data network. During their testnet phase, Graph saw over 200 active indexers, together with more than 1600 individuals, complete their <a href="https://thegraph.com/blog/curator-program-launch?ref=p2p.org">Curator Program</a> for decentralising data across DeFi.Between June and November 2020 they have seen a 10x increase - from 1 to 10+ billion monthly queries - with usage across Curve, Uniswap, Decentraland and more. <h2 id="grt-token-allocation">GRT Token allocation</h2>In October 2020, Graph Foundation <a href="https://thegraph.com/blog/public-sale-announcement?ref=p2p.org">announced a public sale</a> of GRT and successfully raised $12M. Earlier this year the Graph Foundation raised $5M in a <a href="https://thegraph.com/blog/funding-announcement?ref=p2p.org">private token sale</a>.The details of the GRT token can be found below: <ul><li>Symbol: GRT</li><li>Type: ERC-20</li><li>Initial Circulating Token Supply: ~1,245,666,867 GRT</li><li>Initial Total Token Supply: 10,000,000,000 GRT</li></ul><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/12/GRT_Piechart_v2-2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1288" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/12/GRT_Piechart_v2-2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/12/GRT_Piechart_v2-2.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/12/GRT_Piechart_v2-2.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2020/12/GRT_Piechart_v2-2.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure>More information on the <a href="https://thegraph.com/blog/announcing-the-graphs-grt-sale?ref=p2p.org">GRT token sale</a> is available here: thegraph.com/blog/announcing-the-graphs-grt-sale 4% of the total GRT supply - 400M tokens - was allocated to 4,500+ persons across more than 90 countries. These delegators can contribute to the Graph Network through delegating their stake to network Indexers - like P2P - to earn indexing rewards.<h2 id="graph-network-staking-economics">Graph Network staking economics</h2>Staking in the Graph Network is a method of securing their data network and rewarding network contributions.Node operators across the network can lock their GRT tokens to provide indexing and query processing services for improved data access. These node operators - also known as ‘Indexers’ can earn fees and indexer rewards for this.Delegators across the network are those who hold the GRT token can stake it to contribute to the overall network security and receive a share of indexer rewards.Delegation lets passive, less technical participants secure the Graph Network without the need to run a node.Indexers - like P2P - set a Fee and Reward Percentage which they keep, with the rest of the rewards transferring to Delegators. The annual emission in The Graph network is set to 3%. There is no slashing risk for delegators but the current Indexer slashing percentage is at 2.5%.<a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> currently has the largest Graph Network Indexer globally, with a 33M GRT balance and 530M GRT capacity.

Avalanche How to delegate your AVAX using Avalanche wallet

Avalabs has just launched its main network so AVAX holders can now participate in staking and earn rewards.<blockquote>Please keep in mind that the data in the screenshots are taken from the test network.</blockquote><h2 id="what-do-i-need-to-do-to-start-delegating-my-avax">What do I need to do to start delegating my AVAX?</h2>At the time of writing the only known wallet that will support AVAX delegation immediately after Everest starts is the official Avalanche wallet. If you participated in the public sale of Avalanche tokens, you might already have a wallet and certain amount of AVAX (that also could be delegated despite it's locked up) if not, you need to create the wallet first.<h2 id="create-your-avalanche-wallet">Create your Avalanche wallet</h2><ol><li>Go to the <a href="https://wallet.avax.network/?ref=p2p.org">https://wallet.avax.network/</a></li><li>Choose the <code>Create new wallet</code> option.</li><li>Generate a 24 word key phrase for your wallet.

Polkadot P2P.ORG received grant for Multi-blockchain ETL for Polkadot and Filecoin

<h4 id="7th-september-2020-p2p-validator-is-delighted-to-announce-their-grant-work-on-connecting-the-polkadot-and-filecoin-ecosystems-by-creating-an-etl-solution-with-unified-api-together-with-web3-foundation-and-protocol-labs-">7th September 2020 - P2P Validator is delighted to announce their grant work on connecting the Polkadot and Filecoin ecosystems by creating an ETL solution with unified API , together with Web3 Foundation and Protocol Labs.</h4>Over the past few years, the world has seen the rise of blockchain interoperability; with the attraction DeFi tools and platforms are getting nowadays, the idea of making the blockchain world more interoperable has become ingrained. The blockchain ecosystem has already attracted thousands of software developers working on different things - applications, wallets, dashboards, explorers - but by inserting interoperability into this equation brings an additional challenge.Imagine a situation where a user moves a chain A asset through bridge B to parachain X to open a Collateralized Debt Position (CDP), then uses received stablecoin to long a synthetic asset from parachain D on a margin trade chain E. Ten years ago this could sound like nonsense - but this is a reality now. To make efficient applications that would allow this behavior - the developers need appropriate tools."Default blockchain node interfaces are usually unsuited for complex or historical data queries. That makes building application on top of blockchains a complicated affair - you need to build your own data layer first. Interchain communication aggravets that problem even more", says Vasiliy Shapovalov, CTO of P2P Validator. "Our goal is to exctract, clean, enrich, transform, and serve the blockchain data in way that will allow users to to merge several application-specific interchain requests in the single one."To begin this journey, we've decided to create an ETL solution for blockchains with a GraphQL API for the collected data. The solution aims to add value and decrease development costs for every company or individual who is working on application development. GraphQL as an API query language has been chosen to unify the data interface to simplify the development process and provide the best quality real-time data for applications.As a validator, we have a unique opportunity to develop such a system:<ul><li>we have developed our dashboards and other tools that require a deep dive into specific blockchain's architecture</li><li>blockchain node management does not add costs to the solution as we already maintain them</li><li>we are familiar with a variety of blockchains</li><li>we are trusted by more than 2000 users staking their assets with us</li></ul>Although our ultimate goal is to provide a high-quality data source for lots of blockchains, we've chosen Polkadot and Filecoin to be the pioneers in this project. We would love to see services that would utilize this solution and supply a justified demand for more blockchains to be added as data sources.“We are excited to work together with Protocol Labs and P2P validator to create an interoperability-first data warehouse across all kinds of different blockchains. This will make it easier to integrate with different blockchains and ultimately help the entire ecosystem ”, says David Hawig, Grants Lead at Web3 Foundation."In collaboration with Web3 Foundation we’re delighted to support P2P Validator as they build an ETL solution to simplify the process of building wallets, dashboards, explorers and apps that interact with multiple blockchains connected through interchain communication protocol", says Eva Shon, Grants Coordinator at Protocol Labs.Stay in touch with us and visit our website and GitHub to know more!<h3 id="about-web3-foundation">About Web3 Foundation</h3><a href="https://web3.foundation/?ref=p2p.org">Web3 Foundation</a> funds research and development teams building the technology stack of the decentralized web.
