Update on StaFi Warrior program and liquidity incentive budget plan for October mentioned, with a reference to a detailed post to be released next month.
4. Product and Business Development Updates (Shirley):
LSD Architecture Merging:
Merged StaFi rToken app with LSD architecture to create a unified and user-friendly experience.
Encouraged community to test the application and provide feedback via Telegram for any queries.
Mobile App Updates:
Integration of rMATIC, rBNB, and rETH into the mobile StaFi rToken app, facilitating easy staking and rewards tracking on mobile platforms.
Future integration of more wallets for rATOM to enhance user experience, especially for those familiar with mobile platforms.
Launched Cosmos LSM on rToken App, allowing users to stake ATOM and earn rewards without the need to unstake.
Security Enhancements:
Partnership with Tidal Finance to incorporate validator slashing insurance for Ethereum, protecting users from financial losses due to validator slashing.
Decentralization Efforts:
Progress with SSV and DVT (Distributed Validator Technology) implementations, having completed the first phase of testing.
Participation in Obol Network’s alpha mainnet as one of the first batch partners for Obol DVT integration, furthering decentralization efforts for rTokens.
Market Strategy Amid Bear Market:
Despite the bear market, successful campaigns and new partnerships have been forged.
Over 11 rToken pairs listed on 18 DEXes across 9 chains, with new protocols and DeFi yields integrated (e.g., Wombat, Timeswap, Kyberswap, and Magpie).
New pools specifically for rBNB token and campaigns such as rETH and rATOM Mint Campaigns launched to attract more users from the Cosmos chain.
Chainlink CCIP Integration:
Announced cooperation and integration with Chainlink’s CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol) to facilitate better staking rates.
CCIP enables secure cross-chain liquid staking, transmitting rates from Ethereum to Arbitrum, Polygon, and other Layer 2s, marking a significant step towards secure cross-chain liquid staking.
5. Insights into the Development of StaFi DAO (Signal):
Discussion on governance frameworks considering TVL distribution and potential migration of FIS tokens to ERC-20 if governed on Ethereum.
Introduction of StaFi Improvement Proposals (SIPs) for core protocol specifications, contract standards, and client APIs.
Mention of guardians for protocol security providing access control, contract management, and protocol parameter setting.
6. Efforts on Decentralizing Ethereum Staking (Tore):
Implementation of upgradeable smart contracts for non-custodial deposits and withdrawals, audited by PeckShield and Blocksec.
Public node operator registration allowing anyone to register as a solo validator with a self-stake requirement, aimed at reducing centralization risks.
DVT integration with SSV, rigorous testing on testnet, and plans for mainnet launch.
Future plans for integrating StaFi DAO management as the DAO is gradually established, with the DAO controlling contract upgrades, parameter updates, and service operations.
