$STRK
Starknet announces that the second phase of its STRK staking program will launch in the second quarter of 2025. In the first phase, the program attracted over 60,000 representatives, with a total staking amount of 150 million STRK, and 100 validators connected to the network. The main goal of this phase is to test the fundamental principles of the staking mechanism and economic parameters, with the entire testing process lasting about 3 months.
In the upcoming second phase, Starknet will give validators a more proactive role, assessing their activity metrics in preparation for formal participation in consensus in the third phase. Additionally, the new phase will introduce a validator block certification mechanism and may increase commission rates. These measures aim to further optimize the operational efficiency and security of the network while incentivizing validators to actively participate in network maintenance and the consensus process.
As an Ethereum Layer 2 network, Starknet is committed to solving blockchain scalability issues through its unique zk-rollup technology. The advancement of this staking program not only reflects Starknet's ongoing technical innovation but also demonstrates its active efforts in community building and network governance. With the launch of the second phase, Starknet is expected to attract more participants, further enhancing its influence and competitiveness in the network.
