Stakin Joins Sui MainnetÂ
We’re thrilled to announce that after a successful run on all testnets, Stakin will be continuing our validator services for Sui on Mainnet. Sui’s Mainnet is scheduled to launch on the 3rd of May, after which staking and staking rewards will be enabled. As part of our services, Stakin has partnered with custodial partners for those who are more comfortable staking with a custodial. However, we will also maintain our own non-custodial validator services for $SUI. If you’d like to learn more about staking $SUI, have a look at our website, and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.Â
Stakin To Be Onboarded on Lido on Polygon
We’re thrilled to have been selected as one of the five validators for Lido Finance’s second wave of validator onboarding for Lidoon Polygon. After carefully selecting from the Lido DAO, we’re glad to announce that our Polygon validator will start receiving stake from Lido around mid-May 2023. For more information, have a look at the full announcement here.Â
Stakin Joins KYVE as Mainnet ValidatorÂ
On March 14th, the KYVE mainnet went live, allowing the chain layer and a robust network to open the doors to easy access to trustless data. Stakin is pleased to announce that we have been a KYVE Network Mainnet validator. Stakin has finally joined the active validator set on Mainnet after a brief sprint on KYVE Testnet.
KYVE is a Cosmos-based blockchain that enables quick and easy decentralized data validation, immutability, and retrieval, redefining tailored access to on- and off-chain data. Developers, data engineers, and others may rapidly and reliably access the trustless data they need to continue building the future of Web3 with KYVE's set of tools. Read the full announcement.Â

DISCLAIMER: This is not financial advice. Staking, delegation, and cryptocurrencies involve a high degree of risk, and there is always the possibility of loss, including the failure of all staked digital assets. Additionally, delegators are at risk of slashing in case of security or liveness faults on some protocols. We advise you to do your due diligence before choosing a validator.
