Regen Network (REGEN) Staking Guide [Keplr & Ledger Wallet]

<p><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). </p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>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. </p><h2 id="market-size-potential">Market Size &amp; Potential</h2><p>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.</p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><h2 id="token-allocation-utility">Token Allocation &amp; Utility</h2><p>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.</p><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><p> </p> <!--kg-card-end: markdown--><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/RzQWj6MXQhRsAoLx2H9SwVaV0csfZ3IuJTF25tpNLZyVdd7W3rQcm1bFH7HDq0woP0xvXDnj0jr5yC8v3Tec1s4Y9WUkqNRDRWTzs-9BW7XFWB6LKD5E5MJv9XamXSEBQFtiLs-8" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy"></figure><!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><p> </p> <!--kg-card-end: markdown--><p>The NEAR token sale was conducted in August 2020 with a fundraising goal of $12,500,000 which was successfully met.

By “use”, this refers to e.g. submitting transactions on the network. This makes the NEAR token an essential utility unit within the network.</p><p>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.</p><p>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). </p><p>NEAR validators are rewarded with a predetermined inflationary reward with incentives aligned to incentivise enhanced network usage through improving validator return rates and security.</p><h2 id="slashing-risk">Slashing Risk</h2><p>Currently slashing is turned off but it is considered to be added with an increase of shards in the system. </p><p>NEAR validators can be penalised in two primary ways resulting in a partial loss of a delegated stake:</p><ol><li>Double Signing: Signing two blocks at the same height.</li><li>Invalid Chunks: Producing a chunk with invalid data.</li></ol><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><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><p>To learn more about delegating NEAR with P2P, visit <a href="https://www.p2p.org/near?ref=p2p.org">www.p2p.org/near</a>. </p><h2 id="about-p2p-validator">About P2P Validator</h2><p><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.
