STRK staking phase 2 is coming, and with it, a new governance vote for STRK holders 🗳️ STRK staking v2 is scheduled to launch on Testnet in the coming weeks, with the Mainnet launch planned for Q2 2025. This new phase marks a major advancement in our staking mechanism, transitioning validators from running full nodes and checking the network to also sending block attestations. Additionally, this phase will introduce a fair and transparent commission increase feature. The main goals are to ensure validator reliability and improve economic incentives. This vote will give you the power to approve or reject the new staking proposal. It will be conducted in two phases: 1. Test vote: March 10th – March 15th, 2025 2. Official vote: March 20th – March 30th, 2025 We are conducting a test vote before the official one because, for the first time, STRK stakers (validators and delegators) will be able to vote with their staked STRK. Once we are completely sure that everything works as intended, we will launch the official vote on March 20th. Note that: - If you want to vote without locking your STRK, you can simply wrap your STRK into vSTRK, then delegate or self-delegate your voting power on our governance hub (more details below). - If you stake your STRK, you can participate in the vote while earning staking rewards, but note that there is a 21-day unlock period. - Make sure to complete one of these two options before the vote starts if you want to participate. See you on March 10th! For moar information 🫳
