This year, we're attending @ethbelgrade@SuperteamBLKN for the first time!
While conversations are mainly focused on RWA, trading, institutions, it's great to see bottom-up Defi primitives being built right now to keep the original Web3 ethos alive
Ping us if you are around 📍
Staying DN-rule compliant just got easier! We noticed there wasn’t a quick way to check unpaid eras for validators on #Polkadot & #Kusama… so we built one 👀
A clean UI that lists all unpaid eras at a glance 👇

Our Insightful Ibex cluster - powered by @ssv_network - is consistently the best pool of @LidoFinance SimpleDVT Module 📈
With a 30-day raver of 98.74%, it outperforms the average Ethereum validators' raver of 97.91% 🔥

We're glad to have been selected for another round of @Web3foundation Decentralized Nodes Program!
We will serve Cohort #3 with passion and commitment, helping Polkadot and Kusama to get ready for JAM 🤝

But what are the trade-offs?
The Nakamoto Bonus system is:
✅ Simple to implement
✅ Adapts to network conditions
✅ Incentivizes decentralization
Yet...
⚠️ Critics warn it may open doors to Sybil attacks.
However:
- Sybils are detectable
- Gaming the system is costly
- Diminishing returns discourage abuse
To address centralization risks, they introduce a Nakamoto Bonus.
Tokens included in the Nakamoto Bonus are redistributed to encourage smaller validators.
Validators with low voting power receive bonus incentives, becoming more attractive for delegators to support them.
From Fair to Smart: Evolving the Block Reward System
Today, the network rewards validators strictly proportionally based on voting power.
Delegators earn based on their share. No surprises, just math.
✅It's simple and fair, but lacks incentive for decentralization.
During Community Townhall, we learned more about @_atomone upgrade v2 proposal and how to improve Nakamoto Coefficient on Atom One 💡

🚀 Just one month since launching our new @Polkadot validator, and we've already hit 3M $DOT delegated!
On the path to independence from the DN program - making Polkadot stronger, more resilient and decentralized⛓️
A big thank you to all 143 voters 🫶

Proud to join @LidoFinance x @ssv_network Cohort 3 cluster: Insightful Ibex 🐐
As previously shortlisted in the SSV ANO proposal, the initiative allows us to replace @everstake_pool and move forward with setup 🖥️
Thank you, LNOSG, for the kind words 🫶

Have you already tried our @AvailProject Validator Bot?
If you are a node operator or a $AVAIL nominator, this tool simplifies your life and monitors your performance.
How? Interact with "@avail_validator_bot" on Telegram 📱
Let me explain in detail the features 👇
Most cool validator feature?
➡️ Produced blocks
➡️ Unclaimed payouts alerts, indicating the eras
➡️ Completed payouts
➡️ Information about new & lost nominations, with nominator address and delegated stake
This is a recent report about @POpsTeam1@BwareLabs@P2Pvalidator
These commands are shown visually. Using the "/summary", it shows activity, commission, self-stake, active and inactive nominations.
And you can track multiple names, like in this example with @BwareLabs and @P2Pvalidator

In 2024, supported mainnet networks steadily grew to 22.
We maintain our commitment to Substrate networks like @Polkadot, @MoonbeamNetwork, @MoonriverNW, extending our services to System Parachains: Polkadot BridgeHub, Polkadot Coretime, Kusama People.
On IBC side, @synternet_com stood out as the data infrastructure for modular ecosystem, empowering devs to build cross-chain dApps through utilizing composable data streams.
With the end of 2024; it's recap time ⏰
We've increased the total supported networks by 50%, reaching 81!
An impressive +28 networks in one year, further leveraging the efforts of the previous years 📈
Best three new mainnet positions: @AvailProject@AstarNetwork@celestia
End of the year is around the corner, it's recap time ⏰
We've just doubled the total supported networks, reaching an astonishing 53!
An impressive +26 networks in one year (+100%), which allowed us to experiment with innovative technologies and contribute to early-stage PoS projects 🤝
Best three new mainnet positions: @archwayHQ@ComposableFin@NEARProtocol
With @StoryProtocol expanding the set to 112 participants, we are glad to become active testnet validator and start securing Odyssey 🌊
Story Protocol has launched its final testnet - Odyssey - and this launch comes with nearly 100 ecosystem projects, a badge program, a new mint by Story!

🚀 Thrilled to start our journey as a @synternet_com validator!
Here’s a breakdown of the game-changing Data Layer Synternet is building. Let’s dive in! 👇
This morning @FlorianWinklerK from @chainnodes was on stage to discuss affordable but performant staking hardware during Ethereum Home Staking Summit, organized by @LidoFinance!
Delighted to be nominated Advanced Node Operators (ANOs) and become a backup for @LidoFinance SSV Super Cluster 🥳
Out of 230 participants, LNOSG suggested 70 unique participants across 10 clusters and 28 backup participants for Obol and SSV Super Cluster inclusion.
