<p>The TON blockchain, designed to deliver unparalleled scalability, security, and efficiency, is rapidly becoming a preferred choice for both institutional and retail investors. With its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, TON ensures decentralized governance while enabling users to participate in the network's validation and security processes. At <a href="http://p2p.org/?ref=p2p.org">P2P.org</a>, every product we offer is exceptionally well-crafted to meet the highest institutional standards, combining safety, reliability, and ease of use. Our TON staking solutions are built to deliver tangible benefits and a seamless experience for all users.</p><h1 id="what-is-ton-and-why-stake-it"><strong>What is TON and Why Stake It?</strong></h1><p>TON (The Open Network) is a next-generation blockchain known for its ability to handle high transaction volumes with low latency and minimal fees. It leverages a PoS model, where users stake TON tokens to support the network and earn rewards in return. Staking TON not only enhances the network's security but also offers a reliable way for token holders to generate passive income.</p><h3 id="key-benefits-of-ton-staking"><strong>Key Benefits of TON Staking</strong></h3><ol><li><strong>Decentralized Security</strong>: Staking contributes to the robustness of the network by validating transactions and securing the blockchain.</li><li><strong>Scalable Rewards</strong>: Validators and delegators earn rewards based on their contributions, with mechanisms to maximize returns.</li><li><strong>Flexibility</strong>: TON supports multiple staking models, from Nominator Pools to Liquid Staking, to suit different user needs.</li></ol><h3 id="how-ton-staking-works"><strong>How TON Staking Works</strong></h3><p>TON employs a multi-phase staking cycle that ensures fair and secure validator participation:</p><ol><li><strong>Election Phase (6–7 hours)</strong>: Validators submit their stakes and proposals, competing for election.</li><li><strong>Delay Phase (2–3 hours)</strong>: A waiting period allows the network to prepare for the next validation cycle.</li><li><strong>Validation Phase (18 hours)</strong>: Validators process transactions, propose blocks, and contribute to the blockchain's integrity.</li><li><strong>Hold Phase (9 hours)</strong>: Validators prepare for the next round, ensuring seamless network operation.</li></ol><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption"><img src="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/12/Config-Parameters-Open-Network.png" class="kg-image" alt="image.png" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="595" srcset="https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w600/2024/12/Config-Parameters-Open-Network.png 600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1000/2024/12/Config-Parameters-Open-Network.png 1000w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/size/w1600/2024/12/Config-Parameters-Open-Network.png 1600w, https://p2p.org/economy/content/images/2024/12/Config-Parameters-Open-Network.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px"><figcaption><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Source: TON documentation </span></figcaption></figure><p>To guarantee continuous network operation, TON employs an alternating cycle mechanism involving two overlapping stages — <strong>Odd Cycles</strong> and <strong>Even Cycles</strong>.

<h3 id="about-starknet">About Starknet</h3><p>Finally, the time for L2 decentralization has come to the Ethereum ecosystem!</p><p><a href="https://www.starknet.io/?ref=p2p.org" rel="noreferrer">Starknet</a> staking will allow token holders to capture some of that missing revenue flow that was fragmented to L2s. Moreover, the Starknet team has done a perfect job of making their staking permissionless and available to everyone. In the case of Starknet, this is genuinely permissionless.</p><div class="kg-card kg-callout-card kg-callout-card-blue"><div class="kg-callout-emoji">💡</div><div class="kg-callout-text">Everyone can spin up a Starknet node, stake 20000 STRK, and start validating the network.</div></div><p></p><p>Only the full node is required in the first phase of staking, but in the second phase, which will start in Q2-Q3 2025, the participants will also be required to run ZK provers.</p><p>If you’re not interested in supporting the hardware yourself, you can delegate this responsibility to others, including <a href="P2P.org" rel="noreferrer">P2P.or</a>g.
