Steaking 🥩🥩🥩

We have officially launched steaking.io on mainnet and testnet! Users can now start staking @solana directly on our dashboard. 🥩🥩🥩 Now that our platform is live, we will continue to develop and improve. Expect lots of updates in the next few days!

It’s time for a new chapter.

Mainnet Beta Validators: Please follow the cluster restart instructions docs.google.com/document/d/e/2…

It's finally here! We now officially accept @solana donations to our 1400+ nonprofits. But that's not all! Thanks to @Shift4 and our #CaringWithCrypto campaign, #SOL donations are being matched 1:1 up to $10M 🚀♥️ Learn more and donate: bit.ly/3599K6F

@magruderjazz @SBF_Amoeba If you’re having trouble seeing your balance, try clearing your cache and then do a hard refresh.

@SBF_Amoeba @SteakingIO its been weeks i cant see my balance

@SteakingIO Hi guys I can't see my balance lol and the website is not working.

@SBF_Amoeba Hey, it's working fine now. We had an increased amount of traffic so our RPC nodes were jammed.

Trying something new @SteakingIO @solanabeach_io

@NaisuTJ Fee means that's the commission the validator is taking. You can see the staking rewards on stakeview.app as it differs based on the validator.

@SteakingIO What does the fee mean? And what are the staking rewards?

Love to see more #solana ecosystem projects start participating in securing the network through validators. If you're looking to support a great project, stake with Parrot's validator and their stake pool soon!

@Bote_HDClan @itsmebutterz @chainlink Cross-chain staking 😳.

@itsmebutterz @chainlink @SteakingIO

We’re excited to introduce the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), an open-source standard for how smart contracts will interoperate across blockchains, for both messages/commands and tokens, allowing the creation of advanced cross-chain dApps.

@dermotmcg Hey @dermotmcg, we’re from the future so the price of SOL is very high. But apologies, we’ve noticed a bug where very small amounts of SOL is priced incorrectly (not future prices) and we’re implementing a fix now. 😊

@SteakingIO can I have this in writing pls?

@sonofcrypton91 @gopartyparrot The APY is based on the validator you select. I would check out stakeview.app to see the highest APY validators.

@gopartyparrot @SteakingIO What's the Apr, ser?

Staked SOL using the @SteakingIO UI, very nice. It's the only app that supports switching validator, as far as the parrot knows. Would love to see them building support for managing stake accounts (merge, split), as well as the solana stake pool.

@gopartyparrot The reason you're able to redelegate at the moment is that the state of that account is still activating. Once the account is active, you would need to undelegate first if you want to switch validators. This is similar to @SolstakeIO and @solflare_wallet.

@gavroent @BradRSylvain Use stakeview.app to find the best validators, at the moment all with 8%+ APY.

@BradRSylvain @SteakingIO That is nice. Ftx had 10%, which now dropped to 6% so I am looking to reallocate.

The best place to stake $SOL? Any suggestions :) Habe been staking on FTX, but rewards now dropped to 6% and lock up period.

@SoceanFinance Congrats @SoceanFinance!

@Austin_Federa I think having non-profits be a part of this would be great for when on-chain governance becomes a bigger factor in Solana. Would be cool to see proposals made by them to further better the world using blockchain and Solana, similar to having students involve themselves this way.

@Austin_Federa This seems like a similar effort to what we've been doing with some universities to create a pool of validators that are run by university blockchain clubs as a way to fund the clubs and bring governance as a central part of the club activities.

It’s great that people are donating large sums of crypto to charities, but wouldn’t it be cool if you donated an “endowed validator?” basically enough stake to provide operating income from staking rewards for a charity

@CoinDesk @solana @Saber_HQ @DylanMacalinao @Sebsinclair1989 Congrats @Saber_HQ! 🔥

.@Solana's @Saber_HQ will use its $7.7 million seed funding for hiring, marketing as well as business and product development, CEO @DylanMacalinao said. @sebsinclair1989 reports. trib.al/Kc04CWK

Staking is a responsibility - the right choices help strengthen the network. Don't surrender your choice to someone else - choose your own validators! Solana has an abundance of data available for this purpose at stakeview.app and validators.app.

Stake Pools are coming to Solana! A thread 🧵
