NodeStake

NodeStake New Website Is Live. 🚀 Visit the website: nodestake.org This is more than a visual refresh. It reflects the next stage of our brand, product structure, and long-term infrastructure strategy. We're evolving from a validator operator into a full-stack infrastructure partner for the multi-chain economy.

RF 2026.1 - Over 5x the typical performance of a Cosmos network

The new networking layer in RF 2026.1 reduces latency by a factor of 100, and up to 1,000 in some benchmarks. But what does that actually mean? Every transaction has a lifecycle. It gets submitted to a node, that node has to broadcast it across the network, and every other node has to align on it before it finalizes. Networking sits right in the middle of that process, and its speed directly determines how long a user waits between submitting a transaction and seeing it land. A 100x reduction means transactions reach finality significantly faster. Faster networking means shorter confirmation windows, more predictable settlement timing, and the kind of responsive, real-time feel that high-throughput financial applications require. Watch Cosmos Stack Engineering Manager Alex Johnson @cozartshmoopler explain it in his own words:

On May, 11th a security incident affected TON-TAC asset bridge. Over the past few days, TAC team has been engaged in post incident efforts, which, four days after, have resulted in the return of approximately 80% of the affected assets. Today, we are publishing the official post-mortem report detailing everything that happened behind the scenes of the incident. The root reason traced to a single missing validation in our sequencer software: the responsible party deployed a counterfeit jetton wallet on TON, and the sequencer accepted the counterfeit tokens because it did not verify the sender wallet's code hash. The total loss was approximately $2.86M across USDT, BLUM, and tsTON. Following a public appeal and subsequent recovery efforts, the assets under the responsible party's control were successfully secured, with approximately 90% returned to TAC-controlled multisigs on May 14th and the remaining 10% retained by the responsible party. The bridge remains paused while the patched sequencer software is independently reviewed by our auditor and TON partners. We understand the urgency - affected users and integrated projects want the bridge back, and so do we. At the same time, security comes before speed. Cross-chain operations will only resume once the fixed software has been fully verified and the imbalance has been closed using the recovered assets and the TAC Foundation's token reserve. Both steps take time due to coordination with multiple entities, and we are unable to provide precise timelines at this stage due to external dependencies. When operations resume, the change will be transparent to users with no action required from their side. The remaining gap will be covered by the TAC Foundation treasury, ensuring zero financial impact on users or the protocol. Official updates are only posted through this account and our Telegram; any unsolicited "recovery" or «support» DMs are scams. Thank you to the @ton_blockchain community and the broader TON and EVM ecosystems for their support.

We're happy to announce that ~90% of the funds from the May 12th security incident have been recovered. The attacker decided to return the funds that were sitting across Ethereum, TON, TAC, BSC and Zcash, and retained the 10% as a bounty. We are happy to confirm that the unbalance on the cross-chain layer will be completely fixed. A detailed update and full post-mortem will follow in the coming days. Big thanks to @SEAL_911, our security partners, the @ton_blockchain community and to every partner team that stood with us.

We are buying 500,000,000 ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 directly from the market. Funded by real revenue generated through AI-infrastructure powering institutional onchain finance. For years, crypto talked about utility. Now it’s time for ecosystems to return real value back to their tokens. ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 is becoming the meta asset of onchain finance.

The fast and decentralized EVM chain

This week on the Hub: - First findings from the Gauntlet tokenomics work - More detail on the @injective USDC revenue share and ATOM buyback - A USDC migration working group is forming - DEX and x402 as upcoming validator-call topics? Forum Recap: forum.cosmos.network/t/hub-weekly-u…

Monad Airdrop Again for Active traders.👍

.@arc whitepaper, Economic OS for the internet. 1️⃣ $ARC total supply 10B. Allocation: - 60% Ecosystem (token sales, developer grants, airdrops, network growth programs), - 25% Circle - 15% Long-Term Reserve. 2️⃣ All protocol fees, regardless of payment asset, are converted to ARC at the protocol level. A portion goes to stakers, a portion is permanently burned. 3️⃣ Decaying inflation starting at 2-3%, with a long-term goal of inflation neutrality. 4️⃣ Mainnet expected summer 2026. PoA at launch, transitioning to PoS. ARC's value capture is directly tied to network activity, with a design that leans institution-friendly. arc.network/arc-token-whit…

Cosmos Labs is building the Cosmos Hub roadmap in public. Three phases: Chaos → Stability → Growth. • Hub roadmap decoupled from enterprise timelines • IBC Eureka to Solana and L2s in weeks • Gauntlet tokenomics review underway • USDC update next week • First validator call week of May 11 NodeStake will be on the first validator call. forum.cosmos.network/t/from-chaos-t…

V8 went live on Mainnet yesterday, bringing single-signature cross-chain transfers and ZK-verified messaging to networks built on Celestia.

PoS chains often get lost in balancing the interests of regular users, validators, and early investors. Simply lowering inflation, reducing validator sets, or cutting early investors’ staking rewards does not truly solve the problem. TAC introduces a new mechanism, one that perhaps every PoS chain can learn from. nodestake.org/blog/tac-netwo…

With $TAC continuing to rise, it’s time to look at what makes its tokenomics stand out: the burn mechanism. @TacBuild announced that on May 7, the Foundation will burn 29,608,564.20 $TAC from Q1/26 staking rewards. Over 235M $TAC has already been burned on mainnet, and the process is ongoing. The key design: most staking rewards from locked team/investor allocations are routed to the burn address, reducing structural inflation and potential sell pressure. While retail stakers still receive normal PoS rewards. Not just higher APY. A better loop between security, scarcity, and value capture. Deep dive👇 nodestake.org/blog/tac-netwo… #gTAC 🚀 $TAC

Product-first, then build the chain. @relayprotocol’s Relay Chain is a masterclass in scaling. After 100M+ txs & $20B+ volume across 85+ chains, they launched a dedicated settlement layer on @Celestia + Sovereign SDK: • ~1ms soft confirms • ~$0.005 per order settlement • Solves gas wars, latency & liquidity fragmentation • Full execution control, no validator bootstrap pain True product-centric design. Celestia DA powering real-world adoption at scale. NodeStake continues to back leading modular infrastructure like @celestia, powering the next wave of high-performance chains. #Celestia #TIA #Modular #RelayChain
