This proposal introduces <strong>validators with Max Effective Balances (MEB) of up to 2048 ETH</strong>, compared to today’s rigid 32 ETH limit. </p><p>While these enhanced validators maintain the standard attestation frequency of once per epoch (384 seconds), their attestations carry proportionally greater weight—up to 64 times more than a standard 32 ETH validator. This means that a 2048 ETH validator has the same voting power as 64 individual 32 ETH validators, significantly increasing its influence in finalizing blocks and improving consensus efficiency. Additionally, the probability of block proposals scales proportionally, allowing larger validators to propose blocks more frequently while maintaining Ethereum’s overall security and decentralization.</p><p>This can be illustrated in a simple real-life example:</p><p><em>Twenty independent <strong>32 ETH validators</strong> will generate the same rewards as a <strong>single 640 ETH validator</strong>.</em></p><p>Operators can drastically reduce operational costs with this upgrade, translating into higher profitability. By optimizing validator economics in this way, we’re paving the way for <strong>more competitive</strong> staking opportunities. As a result, we are positioned to <strong>offer the best NRR (Network Reward Rate) in the market</strong>.</p><h2 id="auto-compounding-unlocking-exceptional-nrr-and-staking-efficiency"><strong>Auto-Compounding: Unlocking exceptional NRR and Staking Efficiency</strong></h2><p>One of the most significant user-facing changes with Pectra is the introduction of <strong>auto-compounding for Consensus Layer rewards</strong>. This feature can be enabled by either consolidating two 0x01 validators into one 0x02 validator, updating credentials on an existing validator, or spinning up a new 0x02 one. For our <strong>dApp</strong>, we are introducing <strong>intuitive validator merging flows</strong>, allowing users to <strong>batch-merge existing validators</strong> (since Pectra’s smart contracts currently permit only two at a time). </p><p>Previously, Consensus layer rewards (which account for <strong>~75% of total staking rewards</strong>) were sent directly to withdrawal addresses. With the new <strong>0x02 validators</strong>, these rewards are automatically re-delegated into the validator, providing the opportunity to produce extra returns and enhance long-term NRR. </p><h3 id="the-benefits-of-auto-compounding"><strong>The benefits of auto-compounding:</strong></h3><p>For Validators operating at <strong>base ETH (CL+EL) NRR of 3.2%</strong>, auto-compounding gradually increases staking returns, for example:</p><ul><li>After 1 year, APR can rise to approximately<strong> 3.24%</strong></li><li>After 5 years, APR approximately increases to<strong> 3.42%</strong></li></ul><p>While these numbers may seem marginal, the <strong>cumulative effect is substantial</strong>. Over five years, an auto-compounded validator <strong>generates approximately 5.47 ETH</strong>, compared to <strong>5.12 ETH for a non-compounded validator</strong>. With ETH at current market prices, this difference <strong>translates to over $1,000 in additional rewards from the network per validator</strong>.</p><p>However, there is a <strong>critical threshold</strong>—auto-compounding only works if the validator remains <strong>below 2048 ETH</strong>. Once this limit is reached, all rewards will be distributed to the withdrawal address, effectively stopping the compounding effect.</p><p>To maintain auto-compounding for as long as possible, P2P.org will cap the maximum validator balance at 1,920 ETH, providing a runway of <strong>over two years before reaching the limit</strong>. This strategic approach ensures that users can continue to be eligible for returns and <strong>stake efficiently without interruptions</strong>. By setting this cap, we can maintain a consistent and sustainable growth model, allowing us to provide optimal returns during this timeframe. This ensures that our users not only have a reliable staking experience but also benefit from optimized returns over the long term, with <strong>no concerns about disruption in returns</strong>.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcUcPYRWl6RRQnWRgDzm_yQuOgDYzxOvIb211j-6VZSQreSMhncEVY8yBBaWbNuY6CoIIHbmUvcDwe_FkzuSBF1nuFh-1qeMZjXg3jobpbtMlkaXj_S-Z3QiZStaSkG379XjAtC?key=tD7TinndwUWXMIxFWc2Iy7g9" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1181" height="636"></figure><p></p><p><strong>Partial Withdrawals</strong></p><p>Another key feature of Pectra is the ability to perform partial withdrawals. Unlike the previous system, where users would need to fully exit their 32 ETH validator to withdraw a significant portion of their staked ETH, partial withdrawals now allow users to remove a portion of their balance while the validator remains active. </p><p>For example, if you have 64 ETH staked, you can now withdraw 20 ETH without needing to exit the validator entirely. This increased flexibility ensures that users can manage their staked ETH more efficiently, giving them more control over their assets without compromising their staking participation.</p><h2 id="the-roadmap-to-higher-nrr"><strong>The Roadmap to Higher NRR </strong></h2><p>P2P.org’s <a href="https://eth.p2p.org/auth?ref=p2p.org"><u>Ethereum staking suite</u></a> is already designed to provide <strong>flexible and high-performance staking solutions</strong> through our <strong>dApp, API, and DVT API</strong> (optimized for SSV-based distributed validators and additional reward mechanisms).

<p></p><h3 id="introduction"><strong>Introduction:</strong></h3><p>Tezos is leveling up its ecosystem with the highly anticipated <strong>Quebec protocol upgrade</strong>, set to go live on <strong>January 22, 2025</strong>. This update marks a significant milestone, introducing a shift from delegation to direct staking—unlocking the potential opportunity for <strong>3x staking rewards from the network</strong>.</p><p>The shift from delegation to staking isn't just a technicality, this move directly benefits bakers and delegators. With this upgrade, Tezos users will have more control while being eligible for greater rewards.</p><p>Do you want to know how you can reap these rewards?<br><br>Keep reading—we've broken it all down for you. Plus, if you're ready to dive in now, we've got everything you need to know to use the institutional-grade P2P.org infrastructure.</p><h3 id="the-new-staking-model-what%E2%80%99s-changed"><strong>The New Staking Model: What’s Changed?</strong></h3><p>With the Quebec protocol upgrade, Tezos has introduced a significant change for stakers. Instead of delegating your XTZ to a baker, you can now stake directly with the protocol <strong>(for the first time ever, you can use P2P.org infrastructure directly to secure the Tezos network!)</strong>, adding another layer of security.</p><p>The Quebec protocol upgrade builds on the significant changes introduced in the previous <a href="https://research-development.nomadic-labs.com/paris-is-live.html?ref=p2p.org"><u>Paris upgrade</u></a>, most notably a new staking mechanism that makes it possible for individuals to stake for the first time. Now, instead of just delegating your XTZ to a baker (<strong>like our P2P.org infrastructure</strong>), you can choose to stake with us as well and help us secure the Tezos network. While staking rewards were set to 2x delegation rewards from the network with Paris, Quebec has now elevated staking rewards to 3x delegation rewards, making it more beneficial to stake.</p><h3 id="tezos-staking-101"><strong>Tezos Staking 101</strong></h3><ol><li><strong>Delegation vs. Staking:</strong> Before, you could delegate your XTZ to a baker, and in return, you would receive rewards from your baker based on how much you delegated while keeping your tez liquid. With staking now possible as a second way to earn, you can lock your XTZ with a baker and enjoy rewards that are accrued directly on a protocol level.<br></li><li><strong>Higher Risk, Higher Reward</strong>: Staking does expose you to slashing risks, which makes it extremely important for you to choose a reputable baker like P2P.org to reduce this risk. While slashing has happened only a few times in Tezos’ history, it is one of the features that differ from delegation.<br></li><li><strong>3x Rewards:</strong> If you’re currently delegating with a baker, you will have the opportunity to triple your rewards by choosing to stake with them.

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

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

<p>At <a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.org</a>, we take blockchain security seriously.</p><h2 id="executive-summary"><strong>Executive Summary:</strong></h2><p>Blockchain security is a top priority for validators, especially with the expansion of Polkadot's active validator set. Validators are vital in securing the network by participating in block production and finalization processes. However, <strong>some validators bypass GRANDPA participation to reduce operational costs, jeopardizing network stability and security</strong>.</p><p>Active block production and finalization participation are crucial for maintaining Polkadot and Kusama's network integrity. <strong>Validators who avoid GRANDPA undermine network performance, potentially leading to slower finalization and reduced reliability. To mitigate these risks, token holders should carefully evaluate validators based on their commitment to security, uptime, risk management, and compliance with industry standards.</strong></p><p><a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.org</a> offers tools like the Relay Participation Rate dashboard to monitor validator engagement, helping stakeholders make informed decisions. By delegating stakes to validators prioritizing network health and security, token holders can contribute to a more resilient and trustworthy blockchain ecosystem.</p><h2 id="understanding-blockchain-security">Understanding Blockchain Security</h2><p>With the recent referendum aiming to expand the active validator set to 400, the focus has intensified on the critical role validators play in securing the Polkadot network—especially through their participation in finalizing blocks. Validator engagement in the consensus process is essential for maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem, and upholding high operational standards has never been more crucial.</p><p>In Polkadot, block production begins with the Blind Assignment for Blockchain Extension (BABE) protocol. BABE randomly assigns validators to produce blocks in slots approximately every six seconds. Validators participate in this random lottery for each slot, producing a block if selected. Notably, a backup validator is also assigned in case the primary validator fails to produce a block.</p><p>Once a block is created, it needs to be finalized by other network participants—precisely, the validators—through the GRANDPA (GHOST-based Recursive ANcestor Deriving Prefix Agreement) finality gadget. GRANDPA operates in parallel with block production as an independent process. Validators engage in consecutive rounds of voting to finalize blocks, and once two-thirds of the validators have voted in favor, the block is considered final.</p><p>While validators cannot influence the BABE step due to its randomness, they are incentivized to participate in block production because they receive rewards for creating blocks. However, the same incentive structure does not apply to GRANDPA participation. <strong>This lack of direct monetary reward can tempt some validators to disable their participation in GRANDPA by running their nodes with the <code>--no-grandpa</code> flag</strong>, potentially reducing operational costs at the expense of network security.</p><h2 id="why-validator-participation-in-grandpa-matters">Why Validator Participation in GRANDPA Matters</h2><p>Skipping finalization might lower operational expenses—such as bandwidth consumption and node maintenance—but it introduces significant risks to the network. Without robust participation in GRANDPA, the network may experience delays in finalizing blocks, adversely affecting performance and reliability. The ecosystem's security is intrinsically linked to the consistency and reliability of validators in the finalization process.</p><p>Moreover, validators who avoid participating in GRANDPA place additional burdens on those who maintain high operational standards. These standards are often achieved through rigorous internal monitoring, adherence to compliance frameworks, and dedicated infrastructure management. Validators committed to these practices ensure consistent uptime and mitigate risks such as slashing, thereby contributing to a more secure and resilient network.</p><h2 id="the-current-state-of-participation">The Current State of Participation</h2><p>Our public dashboard, <a href="https://grafana.polkamon.p2p.world/d/XX_I3QQSk/relay-participation-rate?orgId=1&var-chain=polkadot&var-account=All&var-percent=30&ref=p2p.org">Relay Participation Rate</a> (accessible via Telegram authentication), offers an overview of validator participation in the finalization process across Polkadot and Kusama. This tool is part of our <a href="https://maas.p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">Monitoring as a Service</a> (MaaS) project, designed to provide validator operators in Substrate-based networks with transparency and monitoring capabilities. To access the dashboard, login with your Telegram account, navigate to the "General" section in the upper left-hand corner, and select "Relay Participation Rate."</p><p>The dashboard features three types of charts:</p><ol><li><strong>Prevotes Ratio</strong>: Indicates participation in the first part of the consensus process.</li><li><strong>Precommits Ratio</strong>: This ratio relates to GRANDPA (chain finality) and represents how often a validator participates in finality, the second part of the consensus.</li><li><strong>Missing Backing Votes Ratio</strong>: Shows the percentage of skipped candidate backing actions (Proof of Validity) for parachains—the most profitable aspect of a validator's activity.</li></ol><p>The top table provides a current snapshot of validators and their participation ratios in the consensus process. While the Polkadot network currently shows no validators with 0% precommits (finality stage), several validators exhibit low engagement.

Maintaining at least two-thirds participation is essential for the network's smooth functioning. If a significant number of validators continue to prioritize cost-cutting over participation in finalization, the network's reputation and its ability to attract further development may be jeopardized.</p><p>It's important to note that GRANDPA's non-participation is neither financially rewarding nor subject to slashing penalties. This lack of immediate consequences provides little motivation for validators to engage in the finalization process, highlighting the need for token holders to be vigilant in their choice of validators.</p><h2 id="how-to-choose-reliable-validators">How to Choose Reliable Validators</h2><p>Given these potential risks, it's imperative for token holders to thoroughly evaluate validators before delegating their stakes. Key factors to consider include:</p><ul><li><strong>Commitment to Network Security</strong>: Does the validator consistently participate in both block production and finalization processes?</li><li><strong>Uptime Track Record</strong>: Does the validator maintain high availability, ensuring the network remains robust and responsive?</li><li><strong>Risk Mitigation Measures</strong>: Does the validator implement safeguards against slashing and other operational risks?</li><li><strong>Compliance with Industry Standards</strong>: Has the validator undergone third-party audits, such as SOC 2, to verify their adherence to security and operational protocols?</li><li><strong>Infrastructure Quality</strong>: Does the validator invest in reliable, secure infrastructure to support their operations?</li></ul><p>Delegating to validators prioritizing network health through consistent participation and reliability strengthens the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. Validators that uphold high-performance standards and implement comprehensive security measures—such as internal compliance audits, uptime guarantees, and slashing protection—offer a more robust and secure environment for stakers.</p><p><strong>By choosing validators committed to the network's long-term health and security, token holders can contribute to a more resilient and trustworthy blockchain ecosystem.</strong></p><p>Do not hesitate to ask questions in our <a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org">Telegram</a> chat or contact Alex via <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.

<p><strong>Welcome to our bi-weekly market recap at P2P.org, where we delve into the most impactful shifts happening in the crypto space.</strong> This edition explores the ever-evolving staking landscape, the Ethereum ecosystem, and Bitcoin’s latest staking developments. </p><p>Let’s dive into the highlights!</p><h3 id="ethereum-steady-validator-growth-amid-market-uncertainty"><strong>Ethereum: Steady Validator Growth Amid Market Uncertainty</strong></h3><p>Ethereum is holding steady! Over the past month, we saw a 1.49% growth in the total number of validators and staked amounts (source: <a href="http://beaconcha.in/?ref=p2p.org"><u>Beaconchain</u></a>). While this growth is consistent with previous months, it’s clear that price volatility and reduced validator rewards have slowed down the pace compared to earlier in the year. But hey, steady growth is still growth!</p><p>This isn’t surprising, considering the broader market’s recent behavior. In the last 14 days, <strong>the total market cap dropped from $2.3T to $2.03T</strong> (source: <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/?ref=p2p.org"><u>CoinGecko</u></a>). A dip like this often spooks the market, with concerns of a potential recession and uncertainty around the upcoming US elections driving institutional caution. High-risk assets like crypto felt the impact as investors hit the sell button.</p><p>Check out the chart below for a visual of Ethereum validator trends over time:</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/09/6536.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="908" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/09/6536.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/09/6536.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/09/6536.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/09/6536.jpg 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="eigenlayer-and-restaking-airdrops-and-big-collaborations"><br><strong>EigenLayer and Restaking: Airdrops and Big Collaborations</strong></h3><p>Despite the shaky market, the <strong>past few weeks have been exciting for the</strong> <strong>Ethereum staking ecosystem</strong>. The main focus? Restaking. <strong>EigenLayer (EL)</strong> has announced a fresh round of $EIGEN airdrops to the community, distributing 86 million tokens, representing 5% of the total 1.67 billion $EIGEN supply. Even social media users can qualify for the airdrop—a move that shows EL’s commitment to rewarding the community that’s helping bolster its brand.</p><p>Original Eigen Foundation tweet: <a href="https://x.com/eigenfoundation/status/1831375846097219707?ref=p2p.org">https://x.com/eigenfoundation/status/1831375846097219707</a></p><p>In other big news, EigenLayer is partnering with <strong>Ethena and EtherFi</strong>, bringing the stablecoin <strong>USDe</strong> into the picture as a new restaking collateral asset. The <strong>adoption of ERC-20 tokens as collateral</strong> under the Symbiotic restaking protocol is a key differentiator, opening up the possibility for a much broader range of assets to be supported in the future. This move highlights Symbiotic’s innovative approach and maybe a strategic response to its growing competition. EigenLayer's recent partnership with EtherFi could be seen as a defensive move against Symbiotic, which is already positioning itself ahead with the ability to use ERC-20 tokens as staking collateral—something that EigenLayer currently does not offer.</p><h3 id="bitcoin-staking-babylon%E2%80%99s-success-and-fierce-competition"><strong>Bitcoin Staking: Babylon’s Success and Fierce Competition</strong></h3><p>Things are heating up on the <strong>Bitcoin staking</strong> front<strong>,</strong> too. Babylon’s first-ever staking launch at the end of August was a huge success—<strong>1,000 BTC</strong> was deposited in just four hours! With multiple large reserve tokens (LRTs) attracting a ton of BTC for the next round of staking, this momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down.</p><p>However, competition in the Bitcoin space is fierce, with protocols vying for attention and deposits. <strong>Lombard</strong> recently announced the ability to re-stake LBTC with <strong>Ether.fi</strong>, strengthening its position as a leading LRT in the Bitcoin ecosystem.</p><h3 id="closing-thoughts-the-road-ahead-for-crypto"><strong>Closing Thoughts: The Road Ahead for Crypto</strong></h3><p>August and September are historically bumpy months for crypto and the stock market, and this year has been no exception. Price discovery is a natural process, and while volatility can feel unsettling, it also presents opportunities for growth in the long run.

<p><a href="P2P.org" rel="noreferrer">P2P.org</a> is proud to announce the launch of our innovative <a href="http://ssv.network/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">SSV</a> <strong>White-Label Node solution</strong> in partnership with <a href="http://originprotocol.com/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">Origin</a>.<br><br>This new product marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing state-of-the-art decentralized validation technology (DVT) solutions to our clients. By focusing on efficiency and a customer-centric approach to their customization, we are delivering a solution that not only simplifies the staking process but also meets the unique needs for each of our unique and diverse clients. </p><h2 id="about-origin"><strong>About Origin</strong></h2><p>Origin Protocol is a longstanding Ethereum DeFi project focused on creating economic opportunities through permissionless multichain protocols. Their suite of products, including Origin Ether (OETH) and Origin Dollar (OUSD), are designed to enhance yield generation. These products integrate seamlessly across the DeFi ecosystem, allowing users to earn and compound returns on-chain.</p><p>Origin Protocol’s ecosystem is underpinned by the Origin Token (OGN), which serves as the governance and value-accrual token. Users can stake OGN to receive xOGN, gaining a share of the protocol’s revenue and voting rights in the governance process. The team behind Origin comprises experienced entrepreneurs and professionals from major tech firms, backed by prominent investors like Pantera Capital and Foundation Capital.</p><h2 id="introducing-the-ssv-white-label-node-solution"><strong>Introducing the SSV White-Label Node Solution</strong></h2><p>Our SSV White-Label Node solution allows clients to register validators on exclusive SSV private nodes dedicated solely to their use. This new offering brings several key advantages:</p><ul><li><strong>Customization: </strong>Clients can tailor their nodes based on specific requirements, such as geographical location and the choice of Consensus Layer (CL) and Execution Layer (EL) to run. </li><li><strong>Ease of Operation: </strong>With private nodes, we can significantly reduce the amount of $SSV required to run an SSV cluster. Public nodes typically require 6.5 $SSV per year. However, with our private nodes, we can set the operator fee to 0, so users only need to pay around 0.5 $SSV per year in network fees.</li><li><strong>Automation via DVT API:</strong> Our solution automates the entire SSV registration and validator deposit process through our DVT API, eliminating manual steps and streamlining operations. You can also learn more about our API integration from our <a href="https://docs.p2p.org/docs/getting-started-ssv?ref=p2p.org">integration guide</a>.</li></ul><h2 id="partnership-with-origin"><strong>Partnership with Origin</strong></h2><p>We have partnered with Origin to deploy this new solution, demonstrating the powerful capabilities of our SSV White-Label Node. We have set up eight dedicated SSV nodes for Origin, four of which have already reached their maximum capacity of 500 validators each. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/07/image--1-.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1078" height="586" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/07/image--1-.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/07/image--1-.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/07/image--1-.png 1078w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p><strong>This means that Origin has staked nearly 24,000 ETH using our new solution.</strong> Additionally, four more nodes are ready to be filled, with more ETH to be staked.</p><p>One of the key benefits Origin is experiencing with our solution is a drastic reduction in operational costs from the amount of $SSV tokens required up-front. For example, maintaining 146 days of operational runway requires only 105 SSV ($3,666) with our solution. Without it, achieving the same coverage would necessitate 1366.17 SSV ($47,788). This represents a significant saving in efforts from buying large amounts of SSV tokens upfront to register so many validators.</p><h2 id="looking-ahead"><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></h2><p>The launch of the SSV White-Label Node solution represents a major advancement in decentralized staking technology. This partnership with Origin is just the beginning. As we continue to develop and refine our solutions, we look forward to offering even more innovative and cost-effective options to our clients.</p><p>Stay connected with P2P.org for more updates and developments in the decentralized validation technology space.

<p><strong>Babylon is a Bitcoin Staking Protocol that allows Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC, providing security for different PoS systems. </strong>As a result, BTC holders can gain rewards on their capital in the tokens of PoS systems they support.

But how does it achieve this?</p><p>Babylon introduces the role of Finality Providers, who receive delegations of BTC from Bitcoin holders. Finality Providers are additional validators that can participate in the block validation process. The largest blockchain validators, including P2P.org, will be Finality Providers in Babylon.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/06/pos-1.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1159" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/06/pos-1.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/06/pos-1.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/06/pos-1.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/06/pos-1.jpg 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p></p><p>After receiving the BTC delegation, Finality Providers can participate in the block verification process. If they act maliciously, for example, by double signing, the portion of Bitcoins delegated by stakers can be slashed. Slashing can be technically achieved because of the EOTS signature that Finality Providers use to validate blocks. When Finality Providers double sign, their private key is leaked, which allows the broadcast of a pre-approved slashing transaction that was created when the user staked the tokens.<br></p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-grey"><div class="kg-callout-text">Babylon’s design is elegant and flexible. It adds additional finality rounds to blockchains operated by Finality Providers. This means that PoS systems, which have their own consensus mechanisms and validators, can add an extra level of verification supported by a set of Finality Providers who provide BTC as a slashable asset.</div></div><p><br>This set of Finality Providers can improve security and make the blockchain more decentralized. Decentralization is crucial for any blockchain to be secure and sustainable, but not all blockchains boast about it. Additionally, finding and maintaining a stack of validators is a resource-intensive process.</p><p><strong>Babylon acts as a shared security marketplace that brings together Finality Providers, who offer shared security, and PoS systems, which receive it in exchange for rewards.</strong></p><h3 id="cosmos-as-a-first-stop">Cosmos as a First Stop</h3><p>Babylon plans to focus on the Cosmos SDK blockchains and the Babylon PoS chain itself as the first PoS systems. Like other chains built on CometBFT, the Babylon PoS chain will have a set of validators that validate blocks and broadcast them to other nodes. Validators in Cosmos use the native tokens of these chains as security collateral. If they act maliciously, the portion delegated tokens can be slashed.</p><p>However, when integrated with Babylon, Cosmos SDK chains add an additional finality round that provides extra security through Finality Providers. As shown in the diagram, these Finality Providers become an additional step in the block path, creating a more secure block verification process.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/06/a3.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1159" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/06/a3.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/06/a3.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/06/a3.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/06/a3.jpg 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p></p><p>If Cosmos SDK chains decide to work with Babylon and receive additional security, they must reward Finality Providers to attract them. This creates a marketplace where Finality Providers offer security, and blockchains reward them.<br></p><h3 id="other-ecosystems-are-welcomed">Other Ecosystems Are Welcomed</h3><p>One of the most exciting aspects of Babylon's plan is its focus on PoS systems outside of the Cosmos ecosystem. From Babylon's announcements, we know that Babylon plans to integrate its Bitcoin Staking Protocol to provide shared security to Bitcoin L2s, AltLayer rollups, standalone chains, and more.</p><p>The reality is that the additional round of finality after the protocol has finalized a block can be added to different consensus protocols, not just CometBFT. Babylon's general approach can open the doors to providing security for various blockchain ecosystems and allow Babylon to build a shared security marketplace, where PoS systems from different ecosystems can interact with finality providers and receive security from them.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/06/a2.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="2000" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/06/a2.jpg 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/06/a2.jpg 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/06/a2.jpg 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/06/a2.jpg 2000w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><p>When speaking about Babylon, we should always keep in mind that Babylon's impact can be much more significant than we think right now. This is achieved through its architecture and the vast amount of BTC collateral that can be used. In the long run, this shared security model can lead to a more secure and resilient blockchain environment. As more PoS systems join the Babylon, the collective security and stability of the entire ecosystem improve. <br></p><h2 id="how-to-participate">How to Participate?</h2><p>If you're interested in participating in the launch of Babylon, we recommend two main directions for involvement:</p><ol><li><strong>Testnet Participation:</strong><br>Engage with the Babylon testnet by staking your SignetBTC directly on Babylon's <a href="https://btcstaking.testnet.babylonchain.io/?ref=p2p.org"><u>official website</u></a>.
