Kusama, Moonbeam Postmortem: Moonbeam Collator Incident (September 4 2022)

<h3 id="summary">Summary </h3>On September 4 at 15:15 UTC one of our collators stopped syncing and due to an error in the monitoring rules the incident went unnoticed. As a result of this the collator did not produce blocks for a period of 27 hours.<h3 id="what-happened">What Happened?</h3>An error was made in one of the many rules of our monitoring system. When writing this rule, we mistakenly used the wrong metric to determine the status of the collator in the candidate list. As a result, when the collator stopped synchronizing, the engineering team did not receive any notifications about the incident.<h3 id="customer-impact">Customer Impact</h3>Delegators who nominated and had their staked allocated to this collator did not receive rewards for a period of 4 rounds.<h3 id="what-went-wrong">What went wrong?</h3>Unfortunately, we received information about the incident from an external source, which is unacceptable.<h3 id="what-went-well">What went well?</h3>After receiving information about the incident, the failed collator was promptly restored as soon as possible and began to produce blocks.<h3 id="lessons-learnt-and-action-plan">Lessons learnt and action plan</h3>We are going to implement strict checks and audits of all our monitoring rules. We are also in the process of automating testing of monitoring rules as much as possible before applying them to the production environment. P2P takes full responsibility for the event that led to the weak performance and we are sorry for the inconvenience.

Cardano What to look for when choosing a Cardano pool?

<h3></h3>At first, Cardano might appear to have a complicated staking system, but in reality it's quite simple. In this article we will begin by outlining Cardano’s staking architecture before moving on to the key factors about validator pools that will affect your Return-on-Assets (ROA). By the end of this article, you will be able to confidently select a validator pool that is the right fit for you. <h2 id="staking-architecture">Staking Architecture</h2>To get a better understanding of the whole staking architecture, let's first start with how rewards are generated. Within each epoch, fees from network operations and new emissions are collected into a fund. Part of these collected assets goes to the Cardano treasury, while the rest is distributed to validators and delegators as a reward for their commitment to securing the network through staking. The validator's role is to secure the network. They are responsible for confirming the validity of new blocks of transactions which are then added to the network's ledger. Every time a new block is added to the ledger, validators are rewarded with staking rewards. Cardano token holders can earn staking rewards by delegating their ADA assets to one of the many available validator pools. By delegating your ADA to a validator pool, you are providing this validator with your tokens rights to participate in the validation of blocks. Validators will redistribute their earnings to their delegators pro rata to their stake. A validator's probability to be allocated a block to produce, depends on a number of factors. Pool saturation, which refers to how much stake a particular pool has, is the most important factor when it comes to allocation of new blocks. The higher the pool saturation, the higher is the amount staked in the pool. The greater a pool's stake is, the more blocks will be allocated to them. If the pool does not have enough stake to be allocated a new block, it can take as long as 5 or 50 epochs before they will produce a block. So what factors are important to take into consideration when selecting the right validator pool? Below we explain the several key factors to take into account.<h2 id="important-factors-when-selecting-a-validator-pool"> Important factors when selecting a validator pool </h2><h3 id="pool-saturation">Pool saturation </h3>The Cardano staking architecture was created in a way that pool saturation does not have a significant effect on ROA in the long run. Pools with larger stakes will have more blocks allocated to them and therefore will generate more rewards, but they will also have to distribute it amongst more delegated stake. Smaller pools will produce blocks less often, but will generate a high return to their delegators when they do. One has to consider their strategy when deciding which pool to select: Whether they would rather choose a pool with high saturation that will produce more blocks and distribute rewards more evenly and frequently, or choose a less saturated pool that will produce fewer blocks but distribute greater rewards when it does. However, in order to promote decentralisation, the Cardano protocol has a cap on the amount of rewards a validator's pool can receive. Therefore, if a pool is oversaturated, the rewards received for producing blocks will have to distribute between all the ADA that was delegated to that pool. This leads to lower rewards per each ADA delegation. The current oversaturation limit is 64 million ADA.<h3 id="pool-fees-margin"> Pool Fees (Margin)</h3>Validators may charge a fee (margin) for maintaining its pools, keeping a percentage of all rewards received. The usual margin for public pools is between 1 and 3%, which has a very low impact on rewards. For example, even if you stake 1 million ADA on nodes with 0% and 1% commission (let’s take average nodes with 50% saturation), the difference in rewards between them will be about 5-10 ADA per epoch. Do note that validators can set the fee up to 100%, so it is important to check that the commission is not set too high.<h3 id="pledge">Pledge</h3>A pledge is an amount of assets self-bonded by the validator intended to remain staked to its pool for as long as it operates. It can affect ROA, but only very slightly. Below we will take a look at an example.As an illustration, let's look at the change in the possible ROA depending on the pool parameters:Let's imagine we have three pools, each with a saturation of 30 million ADA. Each of them has the following pledge values:Pool 1 - 10,000 ADA, Pool 2 - 100,000 ADA Pool 3 - 1,000,000 ADAIf you were to stake 10 million ADA, you would get the following ROA on each pool:Pool 1 - 3.958%Pool 2 - 3.960%Pool 3 - 3.982% As we can see, although there is a difference, it is not significant. <h3 id="luck">Luck </h3>Luck reflects the protocol randomness in the allocation of blocks. When a pool gets allocated more blocks to generate than expected, the luck metric is greater than 100%. If a pool gets allocated less blocks than it would be expected then that number is less than 100%.Pools experience this metric every epoch regardless of their size and it is completely random, so smaller pools will see swings between 0% and 100% during long streaks, whereas larger pools will see higher returns in the same period. Over a long enough period of time, the expected APY on rewards will average towards the network expected value.It's important to keep in mind that block allocation is calculated on the basis of statistics. If a pool has gotten more than it's expected share of blocks in the past, future block allocations will be lower and vice-versa. <h2 id="reliability-and-reputation">Reliability and Reputation</h2>Since Pool Saturation, Pledge and Luck do not have a significant impact on ROA in the long run on pools with similar fees, the main consideration a delegator needs to have when selecting a validator pool is the validator’s reliability. In case of failures, errors, etc., no blocks will be created and consequently no participant will receive any reward. So when choosing a pool, this decision should be made responsibly to be sure that the infrastructure is maintained without failures. You can analyse validators' historical performances on <a href="https://adapools.org/?ref=p2p.org">explorers.</a> Let's take an example with one of P2P’s pools. Using the following <a href="https://adapools.org/pool/c29c92f8319150962650bc8a5e24d918491e8a7b3ac43525afe76baa?ref=p2p.org">link</a> to the explorer, you can verify the performance and configurations of P2P. You can see that the saturation is less than half, it has a margin of 0%, a pledge of 1M ADA and it has a ROA of around 4-5%.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/LpTAxAlKIXJyY-JI_abbpO_Ryo6M6V7qFNqtWhm8R38oGMdFWGWaECyyyAda8xus17qRz2gNsNFqWd3DnSb7RVFYJD9BqKLIwHsnMWlb-wpaKGcn5E8sEd0_DsCA-QfkeEOSQ2siZnDtTORjzn53FXsCYIPyXN0XJTHeWRf0aep6JQhPG4p2m2QmfQ" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Delegating to a public node is not the only way to stake. Many experienced validators, including P2P, provide the option to maintain a whitelabel node for large token holders. Essentially, a team would be responsible for maintaining the node, but it would be managed and owned by the token holder. In other words, a DevOps team would solve all the technical issues, whereas the owner would control the margin, marketing, etc. <h2 id="takeaways">Takeaways</h2>The Cardano staking architecture was designed in a way to provide all well performing staking pools with similar profitability opportunities, regardless of the size of their stake. Therefore, when selecting a public node, the most important consideration is the fee, the stability and reliability of the validator. Validators with low up time, or in cases where technical failures occur, may miss blocks and as a result delegators will lose out on potential rewards. <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 staking provider with the best industry security practices and proven expertise.

Ethereum Ethereum 2.0 FAQ

If you are looking for information about The Merge we've got you covered. Below you can find answers to the most common questions about the upcoming Ethereum upgrade. <h3 id="what-is-ethereum-20">What is Ethereum 2.0?</h3>Ethereum 2.0 (ETH2) is a set of upgrades that looks to make Ethereum more scalable, secure and sustainable.<h3 id="will-ethereum-be-renamed-after-the-merge">Will Ethereum be renamed after The Merge?</h3>No, Ethereum will still be Ethereum and no new cryptocurrencies will be created. The ticker for the Ethereum token will remain the same, ETH.This misconception comes from the fact that for a time ETH on the mainnet was referred to as ETH1 and ETH on the Beacon Chain was referred to as ETH2. After The Merge however only ETH will exist.<h3 id="what-are-the-major-differences-between-current-ethereum-and-ethereum-20">What are the major differences between current Ethereum and Ethereum 2.0?</h3>There are two big changes happening with the introduction of ETH2.The first one will be a shift from Proof of work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS). The second one will be the introduction of shard chains. <h3 id="what-is-the-difference-between-proof-of-work-pow-and-proof-of-stake-pos">What is the difference between Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS)?</h3>PoW is a consensus mechanism that relies on computational power and the expenditure of energy to validate transactions on a blockchain. In PoS validators use capital to validate transactions. This not only helps alleviate environmental concerns associated with PoW but also improves security and scalability.<h3 id="when-will-eth2-launch">When will ETH2 launch?</h3>The ETH2 launch will be segmented into phases. The first phase occurred in December 2020 with the launch of the Beacon Chain. The launch of the Beacon Chain marked an important milestone in the road to ETH2, introducing PoS to Ethereum.The next phase is called The Merge and it is scheduled to happen on September 19, 2022. The Merge represents the fusion of the current Ethereum mainnet with the Beacon Chain. This update will replace the current Proof of Work consensus mechanism with Proof of Stake.Shard chains are a scalability mechanism through which the blockchain is divided among many different nodes thus allowing transactions to be processed in parallel instead of consecutively. This helps drastically improve the network amount of transactions per second. This upgrade is currently expected to launch somewhere in 2023 following The Merge. There has been no confirmed date yet but be on the lookout for announcements.<h3 id="what-will-happen-to-my-ethereum">What will happen to my Ethereum?</h3>You won’t need to do anything with your Ethereum. The Merge was set up to be a seamless transition for the average user.<h3 id="what-is-ethereum-expected-staking-apr-after-the-merge">What is Ethereum expected staking APR after The Merge?</h3>The current APR before The Merge is around 4%. After The Merge the best estimates place the APR between the range of 7-11%. You can find a more comprehensive answer to this question <a href="https://blog.lido.fi/modelling-the-entry-queue-post-merge-an-analysis-of-impacts-on-lidos-socialized-model/?ref=p2p.org">here</a>.<h3 id="will-there-be-a-proof-of-work-fork-of-ethereum-after-the-merge-can-i-get-tokens-on-the-new-chain-if-i-stake-them">Will there be a Proof-of-Work fork of Ethereum after The merge? Can I get tokens on the new chain if I stake them?</h3>Yes, there most likely will be a fork of Ethereum after The Merge. Staked Ethereum will probably also not be counted towards getting new tokens in the forked chain.There are pros in choosing to stake early rather than wait for the fork. As more ETH gets staked the less rewards are available for each validator. Due to the expected increase in staking APR post-merge one can capture this yield by staking early.By waiting to stake one can also risk being caught up in the staking queue that can form if a large number of validators are trying to be created at the same time. This can push the current waiting period to start earning rewards, which currently goes up to 7 days, to a 2 to 4 months waiting period. The calculation being made here is between the profit earned from the tokens on the new chain versus the loss of staking rewards for 2 to 4 months.<h3 id="what-is-the-minimum-amount-of-eth-i-can-stake">What is the minimum amount of ETH I can stake?</h3>You don’t need any Ethereum to run a node. However to validate blocks and earn staking rewards you need to stake at least 32 ETH.Running a non-block-producing node is still incentivized since it improves network security.<h3 id="how-often-are-staking-rewards-distributed">How often are staking rewards distributed? </h3>Withdrawals from the Beacon Chain are not enabled so rewards are not being distributed just yet. You can still earn rewards however. <h3 id="will-i-be-able-to-earn-mev-rewards-from-staking">Will I be able to earn MEV rewards from staking?</h3>Yes, our APR estimates include MEV rewards.<h3 id="is-there-a-slashing-risk-for-validators">Is there a slashing risk for Validators?</h3>Yes, there is slashing risk to prevent malicious actions on the network.<h3 id="do-staking-rewards-compound">Do staking rewards compound?</h3>No, staking rewards do not compound because withdrawals from the Beacon Chain will not be enabled just yet.<h3 id="will-the-network-experience-any-downtime-during-the-merge">Will the network experience any downtime during The Merge?</h3>No, the network will not experience any downtime. The upgrade was designed to cause no disruption to the network.<h3 id="will-the-gas-fees-reduce-after-the-merge">Will the gas fees reduce after The Merge?</h3>No, The Merge changes the consensus mechanism from PoW to PoS. Gas fees are dictated by the network usage, future updates will look to address gas fees.<h3 id="will-transactions-be-faster-after-the-merge">Will transactions be faster after The Merge?</h3>It’s very unlikely. The Merge focus is not on scalability, future upgrades to the network will focus on scalability.

Cosmos Introducing Neutron

<h3 id="p2p-is-building-neutron-a-permission-less-zone-featuring-cosmwasm-and-full-ibc-capability-including-interchain-accounts-and-queries-to-host-the-interchain%E2%80%99s-infrastructure-and-defi-protocols-neutron-is-proposed-to-launch-as-a-consumer-chain-secured-by-the-cosmos-hub">P2P is building Neutron, a permission-less zone featuring CosmWasm and full IBC capability (including Interchain Accounts and Queries) to host the Interchain’s infrastructure and DeFi protocols. Neutron is proposed to launch as a Consumer-Chain secured by the Cosmos Hub.</h3> The vision of an ecosystem of the sovereign, interconnected blockchains is coming to life. As the technology underpinning Cosmos matures, adoption is picking up: a recent example, dYdX, a major Ethereum Perp-Trading protocol, announced it was moving to a custom App-Chain to provide better order book trading services to its users.Not all protocols need the same degree of customization as dYdX does, though, and most would rather avoid the overhead associated with the construction of a generic zone. For these protocols, there needs to be a secure, well-connected CosmWasm hub where to deploy.Currently, such a zone does not exist: no chain is as secure as the Cosmos Hub, and Proposal 69 showed the community’s preference for virtual machines to be released on Consumer-Chains, rather than the Hub itself.Today, we are proud to announce we are making the Cosmonauts’ vision a reality: Introducing Neutron, a permission-less, Interchain-Secured CosmWasm smart-contracting environment for the Interchain. <h3 id="what-is-neutron">What is Neutron?</h3>Neutron is designed to be the premier venue for Interchain Smart-Contract deployment:Built with the Cosmos SDK, Neutron features native support for CosmWasm, a virtual machine that allows smart contracts written in Rust, AssemblyScript and other coding languages to run on Cosmos blockchains. The resulting smart-contracts have significant benefits over the release of code into an Appchain’s binary: they benefit from a large library of testing tools, are easier to deploy and upgrade, and can be audited more efficiently.To protect its ecosystem from the get go, Neutron would be secured by 175 validators and roughly 186M staked ATOM, worth $1.5Bn at the time of writing. This is made possible by a technology called Interchain Security, which lets validators from a Provider-Chain (e.g. the Cosmos Hub) produce blocks for a Consumer-Chain (e.g. Neutron). Node operators are rewarded with additional native tokens, but can be sanctioned if they fail to validate the Consumer-Chain. In a nutshell, Interchain Security would provide Neutron with the same degree of security as the Cosmos Hub, the 10th largest blockchain by value staked.Neutron is Interchain-oriented: it supports the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), Interchain Accounts (ICA), as well as Interchain Queries (ICQ), at launch. Initially, Interchain Queries will be provided by a custom implementation developed by P2P, and upgraded to the official release once it is available. This allows any protocol deploying on Neutron to effortlessly communicate with the rest of IBC, and enables complex operations such as interchain liquid staking or cross-chain collateralization.Last but not least, Neutron is permission-less: it is an open platform where anyone can deploy code to join the Interchain’s economy. Neutron is a neutral foundation on which anything can be built. It does not presume the worth of a project, and does not favor the interests of a protocol over that of another. Neutron is a public-good, owned by the community, by its users. <h3 id="what-is-p2p">What is P2P?</h3><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P</a> is a professional validator and a non-custodial staking provider which secures more than $1.5Bn in assets across the industry.A long-term contributor to the Cosmos ecosystem, P2P has been securing the Cosmos Hub since genesis. It participated in the ATOM fundraiser and regularly open-sources its tooling.At P2P, we have a strong conviction in the Interchain’s vision, which is why we help secure sixteen Cosmos networks, including Kava, Agoric, Evmos, Oasis and others.P2P is an established player with valuable relationships across the DeFi industry: we see the need for a secure, permission-less, well-connected and reliable smart-contract platform. So, we built Neutron.Over the coming weeks and months, we will be sharing more details about Neutron. The future of the Interchain is bright, let’s build it together: join the conversation over on the <a href="https://forum.cosmos.network/t/proposal-bringing-liquid-staking-and-defi-to-the-cosmos-hub-with-interchain-security/?ref=p2p.org">Cosmos Forum</a>.

Kava Kava 10 Upgrade Launch

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

Solana Lido on Solana: Validator's Set Vision

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

P2P's Stance on Terra Current State of Affairs

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

Evmos, Cosmos Evmos Relaunch Frequently Asked Questions

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

NuCypher, Threshold Threshold Staking Guide

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

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

Lido, Solana P2P to Run Lido on Solana

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

Auth P2P Joins Auth Network as an Early Guardian

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

Evmos Evmos Network Overview

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

Staking Which PoS Token Should I Stake?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kusama Kusama Validator Offline Offence - Post Mortem

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

Near Near Incident - Post Mortem

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

Agoric P2P Validator Joins Agoric as a Node Operator

Agoric is a secure JavaScript smart-contract platform that allows developers to reuse a set of trusted components to build decentralized applications (dApps). Smart-contracts power the new efficient economy that doesn't rely on a third party while all the interactions within the system are fair and transparent. 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 uses an object-capabilities (ocap) security architecture defining constraints on how references to the objects are obtained. It 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. Many exciting use cases are still to be invented. 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.We are excited to announce that P2P Validator joined Agoric mainnet as a node operator. Agoric vision is fully in line with our mission to make decentralized finance secure, accessible and simple for everyone.Our team has more than 3 years of experience in validating Tendermint based networks. P2P Validator maintains highly-available nodes, uses advanced alerting and monitoring systems providing 24/7 technical support. We are early Agoric investors having our own skin in the game.Currently Agoric is in phase 0 of mainnet. We have prepared a <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/staking-agoric-with-keplr-wallet/">staking guide</a> to simplify delegation process.
