Kusama Slashing Event in Kusama - Post Mortem

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

Therefore all 115 validators got slashed due to the concurrent unresponsiveness of a bunch of validators, see offence <a href="https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/en/learn-staking?ref=p2p.org#slashing">Level 2</a>.In order to avoid further slashing, P2P team undertook the necessary steps as follows:May 14, 21:30:00<ul><li>Fix monitoring service</li></ul>May 15, 00:30:00<ul><li>Validation is recovered on all P2P validators</li></ul>May 15, 00:40:00<ul><li>Investigation in collaboration with other nodes operators and the Kusama dev team occurred.</li></ul>May 15, 05:00:00<ul><li>All Kusama nodes have upgraded to v0.9.1 that solved CPU spikes issue</li></ul>May 15, 19:00:00<ul><li>Set “--wasm-execution Compiled” flag for all Kusama nodes </li></ul>----Slashing was reverted by one of council member Raul Romanutti who proposed cancellation of slash submitting the <a href="https://kusama.polkassembly.io/motion/295?ref=p2p.org">motion 295</a> and no user funds were affected.----<h3 id="lessons-learnt">Lessons Learnt</h3><ul><li>We should have more resilient monitoring for our nodes and infrastructure</li><li>Follow polkadot-js releases to upgrade libraries on time</li><li>Look closely at network status during runtime upgrades</li></ul><h3 id="what-s-next">What’s Next</h3><ul><li>We are going to work on new infrastructure and improvements for monitoring services that will help us to avoid such cases.</li></ul>

Near NEAR Protocol - Network Overview

<a href="https://p2p.org/near?ref=p2p.org">NEAR Protocol</a> is an open-source platform built to streamline the development and growth of decentralized applications (dApps). NEAR is designed with security and performance at the core, allowing developers to create applications which manage high-value assets including money, identity and contractual information, whilst at the same time allowing for quick and efficient access. With a focus on providing developers with a clean, user-friendly experience, NEARs approach to development is one focused around accessibility and scaling blockchain applications to accelerate the world’s transition to open, decentralized technologies. The protocol is a public, sharded, developer-friendly, proof-of-stake blockchain, making it an efficient platform due to its scalability and ease of use.NEAR is compatible with Ethereum 1.0 today providing a complete integration with Solidity contracts (without the need for rewrites). Furthermore, an ETH-NEAR bridge allows for cross-chain interoperability and communication. This provides developers with flexibility and removes the need to fully commit to just one tech stack. <h2 id="market-size-potential">Market Size & Potential</h2>Near Protocol was launched in 2020 with a vision to give back control of financial assets and sensitive data to the users to which it belongs, with an ambition to build digital infrastructure for a new internet where evil actors are barred from manipulating it.Similar to what has been developed by Ethereum and Polkadot, NEAR is a base-layer blockchain allowing for applications and programs to be built on top of it. Imagine Amazon’s AWS, except controlled by the NEAR community. Through the use of <a href="https://near.org/blog/the-beginners-guide-to-the-near-blockchain/?ref=p2p.org">Sharding</a>, NEAR has a capacity to scale up significantly beyond the capabilities of existing blockchain solutions. Unlike with non-sharded networks, transaction fees on the NEAR network can be kept low due to congestion on the network being alleviated through dynamically expanding the system’s capacity via resharding.<h2 id="token-allocation-utility">Token Allocation & Utility</h2>The NEAR platform is built around NEAR - a token which enables holders to use, build and deploy applications, take part in the governance of the network and earn staking rewards in the process. <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/RzQWj6MXQhRsAoLx2H9SwVaV0csfZ3IuJTF25tpNLZyVdd7W3rQcm1bFH7HDq0woP0xvXDnj0jr5yC8v3Tec1s4Y9WUkqNRDRWTzs-9BW7XFWB6LKD5E5MJv9XamXSEBQFtiLs-8" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure> The NEAR token sale was conducted in August 2020 with a fundraising goal of $12,500,000 which was successfully met. Investors include MetaStable, Electric Capital, Accomplice, SVAngel, Amplify and HomeBrew.  <figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/QDO53uGsKFjvI_svYrUOV6y0DXL8PXBkJGViIPZ3mU2h0EUVkxxt5qahiDMkvNT65-YZcpDdo-XeyhjQT0lqnjGIDWRVJjracdZryC63zsh7GUswd4wEbQ6c3ZXnj7MUmeDBipvq" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure> The NEAR token is the manner in which users - developers, builders, community members, use applications on top of the NEAR network. By “use”, this refers to e.g. submitting transactions on the network. This makes the NEAR token an essential utility unit within the network.The network utilises a “gas” model very similar to that deployed by Ethereum used to pay for transactions on chain. Through a “block-rewards-with-burn” model, NEAR supply decreases over time as token supply is burned with rates of high usage. The annual token emission is 5%, while the final inflation can fluctuate based on usage and transaction burns.Even a negative inflation is a possibility based on the amount of fees burned. The effective inflation rate is calculated every epoch (½ a day). NEAR validators are rewarded with a predetermined inflationary reward with incentives aligned to incentivise enhanced network usage through improving validator return rates and security.<h2 id="slashing-risk">Slashing Risk</h2>Currently slashing is turned off but it is considered to be added with an increase of shards in the system. NEAR validators can be penalised in two primary ways resulting in a partial loss of a delegated stake:<ol><li>Double Signing: Signing two blocks at the same height.</li><li>Invalid Chunks: Producing a chunk with invalid data.</li></ol>These types of errors can occur for a number of reasons, both due to malicious intentions, as well as due to non-malicious errors or misconfigurations.To better manage the risk of accidental slashing, NEAR network uses a progressive slashing system where the portion of slasked stake is a multiple of the amount of stake that exhibited the double signing behavior during the epoch in question.<h2 id="useful-near-resources">Useful NEAR Resources</h2><ul><li><a href="https://near.org/?ref=p2p.org">Website</a></li><li><a href="https://near.org/papers/the-official-near-white-paper?ref=p2p.org">Whitepaper</a></li><li><a href="https://near.org/blog/?ref=p2p.org">Blog</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/near?ref=p2p.org">Github</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/nearprotocol?ref=p2p.org">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://t.me/cryptonear?ref=p2p.org">Telegram</a></li></ul>To learn more about delegating NEAR with P2P, visit <a href="https://www.p2p.org/near?ref=p2p.org">www.p2p.org/near</a>. <h2 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h2><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider securing more than $3 billion in staked assets by over 10,000 delegators across 25+ high-class networks.

Mina Mina Protocol - Network Overview

Mina is a decentralized proof-of-stake blockchain with a constant-sized chain of ~22kb, which is possible due to utilising zero knowledge proofs.Such a small size allows anyone to synchronise the chain almost instantly making participation in consensus quick and efficient.Developers will be able to build <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/docs/architecture/snapps?ref=p2p.org">SNARK-powered applications</a>, Snapps, on top and empower privacy and data security features and users will be able to control their personal information through sharing proofs instead of the data itself.<h2 id="current-state-market-potential">Current State & Market Potential</h2>Mina Protocol was successfully launched on mainnet on March 23, 2021, after more than two years of continuous research and development.The problem of personal data has become more relevant than ever. According to <a href="https://www.csis.org/analysis/economic-impact-cybercrime?ref=p2p.org">CSIS</a>, two-thirds of people online suffered from bad actors resulting in leaks of personal data. Adding to this, more than <a href="https://notified.idtheftcenter.org/s/resource?ref=p2p.org#annualReportSection">290 million identities were compromised</a> in 2020 alone.Giving up the right to verify data by a single third party leads to the risk of giving it to the wrong entities. Through being a light-weight protocol, Mina allows anyone to run a node, increasing the number of participants who add up to the decentralization at lower cost of operating an infrastructure.For example, current Bitcoin chain size is over 320Gb while Mina would allow full node security with just ~22kb of data, by utilizing recursive zk-SNARKs (a type of zero knowledge proof), eliminating the requirement for nodes to store the whole chain state.<h2 id="token-allocation-utility">Token Allocation & Utility</h2><a href="https://minaprotocol.com/blog/mina-token-distribution-and-supply?ref=p2p.org">Mina raised ~$29 million</a> from over <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/about?ref=p2p.org">46 institutional backers</a>, including Accomplice, Paradigm, Fenbushi, Naval Ravikant and Bixin Ventures.The overall token allocation looks as follows:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/4LCyUILYTJx73CcdbQcprJiykrcsXh8OM1fCH0O8N2rWgNTq4K6To0kc3haEmCxOYPYnNl-AJJk2iCE3Ajsj_6oN6ZHTD7zKvkIc4DKDcMKk_VsrlN9pfYsnJ38N4Z7vuocSO_1M" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure>Mina native token is a staking unit serving the purpose of securing the network and incentivizing nodes to provide their services. Transaction fees are also denominated in the native MINA token, as well as SNARKs, which are necessary to maintain the lightness of the Mina blockchain.There will be a MINA <a href="https://coinlist.co/mina?ref=p2p.org">public sale via Coinlist</a> on 13th of April. To acquire tokens you should register in advance and await further instructions.<h2 id="staking-economics">Staking Economics</h2>Mina currently uses <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/blog/how-ouroboros-samasika-upholds-minas-goals-of-decentralization?ref=p2p.org">Ouroboros Samasika</a> consensus. Block producers for a particular epoch (~14d 21h) are selected using verifiable random function and chances to win a slot are proportional to the delegated stake.During the first year, block rewards will target an annual inflation of 12% decreasing down to 7% after 2 years. Each successfully produced block contains a coinbase (reward for producing the block), which is currently equal to 720 MINA. If the account that has won a slot has no locked up tokens on a balance (e.g. users who purchase tokens from the Coinlist sale), the block coinbase will be supercharged resulting in a double reward. Supercharged rewards are in place for the first 15 months of mainnet.Holders can delegate their funds in a non-custodial manner to earn a share of rewards in proportion to their stake. Staking since the beginning of the mainnet will result in higher returns for delegators.We encourage delegators with locked tokens to transfer rewards to a separate fresh address and stake from there to increase the chances of a supercharged coinbase.<h2 id="slashing-risks">Slashing Risks</h2>There is no risk of slashing due to the specifics of Ouroboros consensus family. Nevertheless, in order to receive a reward a block producer must be online at a given time slot.<h3 id="useful-mina-resources">Useful Mina resources</h3><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/?ref=p2p.org">minaprotocol.com/</a></li><li>Github: <a href="https://github.com/MinaProtocol/mina?ref=p2p.org">github.com/MinaProtocol/mina</a></li><li>Docs: <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/docs/getting-started?ref=p2p.org">minaprotocol.com/docs/getting-started</a></li><li>Technical Whitepaper: <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/static/pdf/technicalWhitepaper.pdf?ref=p2p.org">minaprotocol.com/static/pdf/technicalWhitepaper.pdf</a></li><li>Economic Whitepaper: <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/static/pdf/economicsWhitepaper.pdf?ref=p2p.org">minaprotocol.com/static/pdf/economicsWhitepaper.pdf</a></li><li>Blog: <a href="https://minaprotocol.com/blog/?ref=p2p.org">minaprotocol.com/blog/</a></li><li>Forum: <a href="https://forums.minaprotocol.com/?ref=p2p.org">forums.minaprotocol.com/</a></li><li>Community: <a href="https://discord.com/invite/Vexf4ED?ref=p2p.org">discord.com/invite/Vexf4ED</a></li></ul><hr>Want to stake Mina with us?

Mina Mina Protocol (MINA) Staking Guide

This delegation guide will walk you through the steps of staking MINA tokens using the client interface to earn <a href="https://p2p.org/mina?ref=p2p.org">Mina Protocol staking</a> rewards. To get started, please ensure that you have a wallet funded with MINA tokens.<h3 id="step-1-set-up-the-environment">Step 1: Set up the environment</h3>To get started here, install Ubuntu 18.04/Debian 9. Upon successful installation, please follow the steps outlined below: <ol><li>Add repository: echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://packages.o1test.net release main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mina.list</li><li>Update: apt-get update</li><li>Install the latest Mina daemon: apt-get install -y curl unzip mina-mainnet=1.1.3-48401e9 (check release notes for the newest version)</li></ol>To confirm correct configuration, check the version: mina version (you should see: Commit 48401e92d94948c066c03ca76326c065e5cbfc92 on branch master)<h3 id="step-2-delegate-mina">Step 2: Delegate MINA </h3>Upon successfully configuring the staking environment, refer to the steps below to start delegating. 1. Unlock your account.<pre><code class="language-bash">mina account unlock -public-key $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY</code></pre>2. Delegate to a selected block producer. If you wish to stake with P2P, use our delegation address: B62qs2Lw5WZNSjd8eHBUZXFYyRjV8oKtrZMFDn1S1Ye62G71xCQJMYM3. Paste the following code:<pre><code class="language-bash">mina client delegate-stake \ -receiver B62qs2Lw5WZNSjd8eHBUZXFYyRjV8oKtrZMFDn1S1Ye62G71xCQJMYM \ -sender $MINA_PUBLIC_KEY \ -fee 0.1</code></pre>Your delegation will start to take part in consensus after the next epoch or two (~15 - 29 days). There is no MINA un-bonding period and staking rewards are distributed manually every epoch (~14d 21h) and automatically staked if your account is delegating.If you delegate from an account with locked tokens it is highly recommended to transfer your rewards to a separate fresh account and stake from there to increase the probability of receiving a supercharged coinbase.<hr>If you have any questions, please refer to our<a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org"> Telegram chat</a>.

Marlin Marlin Protocol (POND) Staking Guide

A step-by-step guide on how to stake POND/MPOND tokens using the Marlin staking platform together with Metamask or Wallet Connect.Marlin is a layer-0 protocol focused on network-layer performance, security and robustness. Marlin Protocol speeds up block propagation of existing blockchains to enable higher throughput. <h2 id="marlin-protocol-staking">Marlin Protocol Staking</h2>When you stake POND or MPOND tokens, you are increasing the security of the Marlin network while earning more POND tokens by delegating your tokens to clusters that participate in Marlin network.If you own a hardware device such as a Ledger Nano S or X, we strongly suggest using it for your staking operations. The process is pretty much the same as described in this guide. The only difference is that you need to sign transactions via your hardware device instead of using your browser. Staking your POND/MPOND via the Marlin staking platform or the MetaMask wallet involves two main steps:Step 1: Connecting your MetaMask wallet address to the Marlin staking platform.Step 2: Creating a stash and delegating your POND/MPOND tokens to P2P. <h3 id="step-1-connect-your-metamask-wallet-address">Step 1: Connect your MetaMask wallet address</h3>Visit <a href="https://arb1.marlin.org/relay/stash?ref=p2p.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://arb1.marlin.org/relay/stash</a> and connect your ETH address with POND or MPOND. Note that the address must be connected to the Ethereum network.

Tokens are moved to a stash and then you can choose whichever cluster the tokens in the stash should be delegated to. You can have multiple stashes to delegate to multiple clusters. This just provides more flexibility.To get started with a delegation, enter the number of PONDs/MPONDs you plan to delegate, as well as the operator address as follows:<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1026" height="814" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2021/03/Screenshot-2021-03-08-at-14.10.08.png 1026w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><div class="note-card"> P2P Validator Operator Addresses: <ul> <li>0x6017b5df98118730e4c31b17c5a7438ecaa8887b</li> <li>0x785ceab6bec10ca9634bce3a60f4124add801f0c</li> <li>0xcbebfc74163cf5777a58201702e27dbfded6e2f5</li> </ul> </div><blockquote>We recommend that you create several stashes at the first stage to deposit some of your funds.

Solana Solana Inflation and Staking Rewards

This post will outline incentives for Solana token holders to stake SOL and earn rewards by securing the network.Stake your SOL and earn up to 8% in staking rewards using our simple <a href="https://p2p.org/economy/stake-sol-solana-with-solflare-wallet-and-ledger/">step-by-step guide</a> for staking with Solflare Wallet and Ledger Nano S/X.Inflation has been enabled in <a href="https://p2p.org/solana?ref=p2p.org">Solana</a> allowing SOL delegators to earn rewards for contributing to the security and decentralisation of the network. We've gathered the most important information related to SOL staking and inflation below. For more details, visit <a href="https://p2p.org/solana?ref=p2p.org">p2p.org/solana</a>. <h2 id="solana-inflation">Solana Inflation</h2>In order to compensate node operators for state validation and delegators for locking their funds, every epoch (~2-3 days), protocol issues new SOL based on emission rate called inflation. Every epoch staking rewards are added to the active stake automatically. Inflation parameter is defined on a protocol level representing annual emission percentage. The exact value of new minted SOL is recalculated every epoch based on the total supply.Solana token emission is distributed among validator pools based on their stake weight in the network. Every epoch a special program on Solana calculates the weight of all active stakes and assigns points that are used to proportionally divide SOL rewards among participants for that period.A decision about inflation rate value is very important for sustainable network growth. It should incentivize participants to stake, cover costs of operating for validators and at the same time avoid over dilution of network users. For the first year annual emission will constitute 8%. In the following years inflation percentage will be decreasing by 15% per year until emission reaches ~1,5%.Another revenue source is derived from transaction fees. It is expected to be relatively low for the first years. In current implementation 50% of transaction fees is burned while the rest goes to the current leader who processed the transaction.<h2 id="sol-staking-rewards">SOL Staking Rewards</h2>With the enabling of Solana inflation, SOL token holders are now able to earn rewards on their staked tokens. <ul><li>The Solana inflation/emission rate will start at 8% and decrease by 15% annually until it reaches a long-term inflation of 1.5%.</li><li>The SOL rewards are distributed to delegators every epoch, which is approximately ~2 days.</li><li>The Solana warm-up period - the time taken for your SOL stake to start earning rewards is approximately ~2 days if the amount is less than 25% of staked tokens.</li><li>The Solana cool-down period - time for your stake to become liquid after you stop staking is approximately ~2 days if the amount is less than 25% of staked tokens.</li><li>Your staking rewards are compounded automatically. </li></ul>In the beginning all Solana staking rewards will be distributed to validator pools. In the future, additional percentages from total issuance can be directed to the ecosystem development purposes and archivers, network participants who provide storage service downloading parts of the ledger and providing proof of replication of storing the segments.The efficiency of Solana staking from an economic perspective depends on the overall participation. The total issuance is distributed to active delegators.

TheGraph Loss of Epoch Rewards in Graph Network: A Post-mortem

<h2 id="tldr">TLDR</h2>Due to an old version of an indexer agent combined with a short-time node desynchronisation, closed allocation resulted in a zero proof of indexing on February 6th 2021. Due to this rewards for the epoch vanished. Lost rewards will be fully compensated by waiving our fee and sharing our own indexing rewards with our delegators. <h2 id="what-happened">What happened?</h2>An oversight in an upgrade process led to the indexer-agent version being out of date. A minor hiccup in Ethereum node operation coincided with the allocation closing, resulting in the closing of an allocation without a proof of indexing being submitted. Rewards will be fully compensated over the course of 12 days by charging 0% fee and sharing our own indexing rewards. <h2 id="what-went-wrong">What went wrong?</h2>We provide regular reward stats on a daily/weekly basis for delegators with locked GRT and thus had no monitoring of epoch rewards after closing an allocation. This led to a minor delay in reaction as reports are filled automatically without human intervention. Right after realising that rewards had been lost we set up an internal investigation.Additionally was the absence of a well-reviewed upgrade procedure for new indexer releases. The upgrade procedure had no clear standard and checklist of actions to follow. New allocations were opened and no technical mistakes occurred, but existing monitoring that allocation was insufficient. We noticed that monitoring for a subgraph syncing delay had insufficient resolution time-wise so failed to catch a small hiccup in Ethereum node operation.<h2 id="what-went-well">What went well?</h2>We close and open allocations on a daily basis so we lost only one day of rewards. We collect statistics on stake changes every day and spotted a problem with reward crediting. We also thank our delegators who have noticed the issue and pointed concerns out in our <a href="https://t.me/P2Pstaking?ref=p2p.org">Telegram channel</a>. <h2 id="impact-on-clients">Impact on clients</h2>All our Graph Network delegators lost one day of indexing rewards. To compensate and mitigate their loss, P2P will waive the fees for 12 days in addition to distributing all the rewards from our own indexer stake for that period. <h2 id="lessons-learned">Lessons learned</h2>We should have had monitoring for new version releases and checked that software is up to date before taking actions. To avoid such issues in the future we have defined a clear written procedure for upgrades and set monitoring for all necessary releases. This case revealed flaws in our existing monitoring so we have now initiated a deep analysis of all metrics improving it from ground up and adding necessary alerts to support this. We have decided to make reviews for all standard operating procedures more rigorous by allocating more engineering time to these activities. Testing and improvement will be continued on the new testnet where we are already set up. All the crucial operations, upgrades and innovations that can potentially lead to a financial loss will be implemented on testnet first.P2P takes full responsibility for this 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.

Cosmos Stargate and the new beginning of Cosmos

We have voted YES to initiate the Stargate upgrade for the Cosmos Hub. We believe in the potential of the Cosmos ecosystem to grow and that<a href="https://stargate.cosmos.network/?ref=p2p.org"> Stargate</a> opens a new page of ecosystem evolution being a huge step towards the original Internet of Blockchains vision.By being an active contributor to the Cosmos ecosystem, P2P has built the dashboard to track delegation history across all the hub versions and claim rewards - a ledger delegation interface to securely stake in three simple steps. We participated in<a href="https://cosmos.network/goz?ref=p2p.org"> Game of Zones</a> to test IBC in action and won the first prize in two phases. Our validator has taken part in a series of<a href="https://github.com/cosmosdevs/stargate?ref=p2p.org#testnet"> testnets</a> since the beginning to prepare.<a href="https://stargate.cosmos.network/?ref=p2p.org">Stargate</a> is the largest upgrade in the Cosmos ecosystem due date. What does it mean for the Cosmos network?<h3 id="road-to-million-blockchains">Road to million blockchains</h3>The current state of the ecosystem can be compared to the cities of a country struggling to communicate without capital and financial centers to connect them with each other. With the enablement of<a href="https://github.com/cosmos/ics/blob/master/papers/2020-05/build/paper.pdf?ref=p2p.org"> Inter-Blockchain Communication</a> (IBC) the value can be seamlessly transferred across the ecosystem unleashing the synergetic effect among application-specific blockchains. Cosmos Hub will become the first intermedium to connect them with each other.The real long term challenge is to attract more builders and projects to the ecosystem to increase the cumulative value flow within the network. Notable improvements in performance and migration to<a href="https://medium.com/tendermint/tendermint-0-34-protocol-buffers-and-you-8c40558939ae?ref=p2p.org"> Protobuf</a> blockchains will implement the upgrade to achieve higher throughput to handle the rising transaction volume. The ability to interoperate will bring composability to the ecosystem, with Protobuf it will be much easier for developers using various programming languages to communicate within the ecosystem and create novel applications.In synergy with tools like<a href="https://github.com/tendermint/starport?ref=p2p.org"> Starport</a> that allow developers to launch blockchains with a few commands and further coordinate the testnets with validators much faster, we can imagine the emergence of novel use cases and accelerated growth in areas like Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Collectible economies powered by Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT).<h3 id="road-to-stargate-and-ibc">Road to Stargate and IBC</h3>Secure connection between blockchains requires trust in validators maintaining the actual state of the network. The Game-of-Stakes attracted and prepared solid staking providers and in March of 2019 Cosmos Hub was successfully launched on mainnet. There were two major upgrades, for the first year the focus was to battle-test staking, on-chain governance and provide a stable functioning network with a strong set of contributors.Game of Stakes granted validators experience to be flexible to changing network conditions and on the 1st of May 2020 another incentivized competition called<a href="https://cosmos.network/goz?ref=p2p.org"> Game of Zones</a> was launched to collect valuable data and prepare teams for the release of the IBC module. There were more than 150 participants.IBC has been in development since the release of the original Cosmos whitepaper - ongoing work to prepare and release the first version of the <a href="https://github.com/cosmos/ics/blob/master/spec.pdf?ref=p2p.org">IBC specification</a> that outlines the overall design logic and architectural overview.The plan of transition from hub-3 to hub-4 was outlined in the<a href="https://www.mintscan.io/cosmos/proposals/27?ref=p2p.org"> Stargate proposal</a>. It was followed up with a<a href="https://stargate.cosmos.network/?ref=p2p.org"> series of testnets</a> to examine the main features and ensure that the ecosystem participants are prepared for software changes being in line with the upgrade procedure.On December 15th the finalized<a href="https://blog.cosmos.network/announcing-the-ibc-1-0-implementation-release-candidate-29f3245d7848?ref=p2p.org"> version 1.0 of the IBC candidate</a> was announced. Multiple teams and contributors were involved in the process of improving, testing and finding bugs.And now we have come to the point to finally bring the original vision of interoperability to the Cosmos network.<h3 id="what-to-expect-after-the-stargate-upgrade">What to expect after the Stargate upgrade?</h3>The rollout will happen in two phases as happened with with the launch of the Cosmos Hub on mainnet. During the first phase cross-chain transfers will be disabled to ensure the network is stable. Activation of the token transfer protocol will happen via on-chain governance. A proposal with parameter changes and timelines will be submitted and if passed we can utilize a fully functioning TCP/IP for blockchains in production.With the enablement of the IBC, healthy competition among hubs can drive the development of the whole ecosystem. Novel use cases like liquidity mining over IBC can become a reality. New projects will be able to easily attract validators from the hub and ATOM will play the role of insurance against misbehavior providing strong security guarantees for new projects in the Cosmos network. Another interesting utility is that ATOM might be able to accrue fees in whitelisted tokens.The IBC is still in its early days and adoption will take some time.

Staking, TheGraph Graph Network - Brief Overview

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

NuCypher NuCypher Brief Overview

NuCypher is a decentralized secret management network where a group of nodes (workers) perform proxy re-encryption to manage permissions on encrypted data instead of a centralized server. It allows safe data exchange without ability for proxies to learn the plain text info. Correctness of worker behavior is guaranteed by staking and cryptographic proofs. Additional token emission incentivizes node operators to maintain high availability infrastructure and in the case of network rules violation a portion of their holdings will be slashed.<h3 id="current-state-and-market-potential">Current state and market potential</h3>NuCypher mainnet successfully launched on 15th October 2020 allowing token holders to stake their NU.Privacy of sensitive data is a vexed problem and services provided by NuCypher project are attractive and valuable not only in crypto space. The highest growth of<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/798564/number-of-us-residents-affected-by-data-breaches/?ref=p2p.org"> data breaches in USA</a> was in the healthcare sector demonstrating 80% increase from 2017 to 2019 including the transmission of confidential data without proper encryption.Enterprises also are seeking ways to avoid data leaks and securely manage and share sensitive data.<a href="https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/key-management-service-market-8188?ref=p2p.org"> The Global Key Management as a Service Market</a> market size is expected to grow from $363 million in 2018 to $1,28 billion by 2023 and is estimated to reach $2,29 billion by 2025 during the period 2019–2025.<h3 id="token-allocation">Token allocation</h3>NuCypher raised $750k in 2016 ; $4.3 million in 2017 and $10,7 million in 2018. The overall token allocation showed in a diagram below.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/10/image-2.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1600" height="897" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/10/image-2.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/10/image-2.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/10/image-2.png 1600w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="staking-economics">Staking economics</h3>In order to participate in the network as a worker and perform re-encryption, node operators have to lock NU tokens. At the start rewards from providing re-encryptions might be low so until the project gets traction, node operators will be incentivized mostly by emission of new tokens. Holders can delegate their funds and earn a share of rewards in proportion to their stake.Compensation is higher when tokens are locked for a longer period. To get maximum compensation stakers have to lock their funds for at least a year to be allowed to accept policies with longer terms. Shorter commitment will result in lower rewards for participants and they will not be allowed to provide re-encryption if the length of a particular policy is higher than chosen lock-up period. Staking since the beginning of mainnet with compounding of rewards also will result in higher returns. The whole stake can be split into sub-stakes where each will have its own lock-up period.In existing representation only one staker can delegate to a worker in near future, staker can be a smart contract that accepts delegations from various addresses. We believe in future adoption of NuCypher and will provide the long term staking maximizing staking rewards.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/10/table-14.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1368" height="668" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/10/table-14.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/10/table-14.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/10/table-14.png 1368w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="native-token">Native token</h3>NuCypher token NU is ERC20 token the main purpose of which is to act as a staking token in the network with limited liquidity and low volatility. Amount of provided re-encryptions will be proportional to stake which is guaranteed to be locked at the end time of the policy. Node operators with higher stake presuming higher loss in case of bad behavior and ability to accept policies with longer terms.NuCypher based on Ethereum blockchain means that users should have ETH on the worker node’s address to pay tx fees. Workers also share service fees paid by end users in ETH for providing re-encryptions.Over 350 000 ETH were locked in the smart contract by participants to take part in<a href="https://blog.nucypher.com/the-worklock/?ref=p2p.org"> WorkLock token distribution model</a> proposed by NuCypher team.<h3 id="slashing-risks">Slashing risks</h3>There are two potential slashing conditions:<ul><li>Providing incorrect responses</li><li>Continuous downtime</li></ul>At network genesis, the protocol will be able to detect and attribute instances of incorrect re-encryptions. If there are many sub-stakes and misbehavior occurs, unlocked tokens which do not participate in staking will be slashed in the first place and then ascending sub-stakes with lower lock-ups.A false re-encryption is not like a double-sign. Correctness of a re-encryption can be proved via a zero-knowledge proof. If users receive incorrect re-encryption, they can provide this proof to the network, which will result in the node getting slashed. For each violation, 2×10−18 NU tokens will be deleted from the offender’s stake. In the future, slashing parameters can be changed by the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that is managed by NU stakeholders who operate nodes. It makes NuCypher a community driven project from the very beginning.At network launch slashing for worker unavailability is turned off until it will be enabled by the DAO if needed. Stakers will not receive inflation rewards for any period the node is offline. A worker that doesn't timely apply updates and constantly experiencing downtime will also miss rewards.<h3 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h3><a href="https://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P Validator</a> is a world-leading non-custodial staking provider securing more than $3 billion by over 10,000 delegators across 25+ high-class networks.

Oasis Oasis - Network Overview

Oasis protocol is a decentralized privacy-preserving platform for cloud computing that allows safe data sharing and ownership enabling computationally complex applications. Oasis provides confidentiality at every layer of the protocol. The network is secured by proof-of-stake where the rectitude of validators responsible for consensus and nodes providing computations is provided by slashing in case of misbehavior. At the outset, validators are incentivized by gradually decreasing emission schedule and transaction fees.<h3 id="current-state-and-market-potential">Current state and market potential</h3>Oasis team plans to launch Mainnet Beta (fully featured network with disabled transfers) soon after Mainnet Dry Run that is launched to ensure that the network is healthy.<a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2019-04-02-gartner-forecasts-worldwide-public-cloud-revenue-to-g?ref=p2p.org">Gartner projects</a> the market size and growth of the cloud services industry at nearly three time the growth of overall IT services by 2022. According to IDC forecast worldwide spending on public cloud services and infrastructure is set to double growing from $229 billion in 2019 to almost $500 billion by 2023.At the same time more data is stored in the clouds posing higher security and privacy risks which are the most concerning for data owners. The danger of cloud breach <a href="https://leftronic.com/cloud-computing-statistics/?ref=p2p.org">has increased by 18.4% since 2016 while 60% of companies</a> use cloud technology to store confidential data.Oasis team addressed privacy issues by implementing<a href="https://docsend.com/view/3aznduk?ref=p2p.org"> Ekiden</a> that allows nodes to perform computations off-chain in a trusted execution environment without access to the data itself.<h3 id="token-allocation-and-purpose">Token allocation and purpose</h3>Oasis Labs raised $45 million. The overall token allocation presented in the graph below. Total supply is capped at 10 billion ROSE.

Transaction fees are also denominated in ROSE as well as a payment for provided computations after this feature will be enabled.There will be no public sale due to regulation risks. To acquire tokens you should wait for official announcements from the Oasis team and listing on exchanges.<h3 id="staking-economics">Staking economics</h3>Oasis currently uses Tendermint consensus. Nodes performing confidential computations utilize TEEs to execute smart contracts and do not have access to the data itself while validators finalize transactions and update the state of the blockchain. Oasis network will launch with a focus on the consensus layer of the protocol. To begin with, rewards from staking will be ~15% and then decrease to 12% in six month. Holders can delegate their funds increasing overall security of the network and earn a share of rewards in proportion to their stake. There is a minimum required delegation of 100 tokens. Staking since the beginning of mainnet will result in higher returns for delegators.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/table-8-1--1.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="1368" height="620" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/table-8-1--1.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/table-8-1--1.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/table-8-1--1.png 1368w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h3 id="slashing-risks">Slashing risks</h3>At the time of mainnet launch, the protocol will slash only for double-signing.

Avalanche How to delegate your AVAX using Avalanche wallet

Avalabs has just launched its main network so AVAX holders can now participate in staking and earn rewards.<blockquote>Please keep in mind that the data in the screenshots are taken from the test network.</blockquote><h2 id="what-do-i-need-to-do-to-start-delegating-my-avax">What do I need to do to start delegating my AVAX?</h2>At the time of writing the only known wallet that will support AVAX delegation immediately after Everest starts is the official Avalanche wallet. If you participated in the public sale of Avalanche tokens, you might already have a wallet and certain amount of AVAX (that also could be delegated despite it's locked up) if not, you need to create the wallet first.<h2 id="create-your-avalanche-wallet">Create your Avalanche wallet</h2><ol><li>Go to the <a href="https://wallet.avax.network/?ref=p2p.org">https://wallet.avax.network/</a></li><li>Choose the <code>Create new wallet</code> option.</li><li>Generate a 24 word key phrase for your wallet. Please be very careful since this phrase is the only way to keep control of your AVAX.</li><li>Once the wallet is ready you can deposit AVAX to start delegation.</li></ol>We recommend using the keystore file which is an encrypted version of a private key protected by your password, since it’s secure and convenient to use.<figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2020/09/1-17.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="2000" height="833" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2020/09/1-17.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2020/09/1-17.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2020/09/1-17.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w2400/2020/09/1-17.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"></figure><h2 id="delegate-your-avax-to-a-validator">Delegate your AVAX to a validator</h2>1.
