Big update for @Stakingverse and LUKSO staking. We are currently onboarding a new node operator: @DevM8B. By taking this step, we are unlocking staking capacity on LUKSO responsibly, while strengthening decentralization, client diversity, and network resilience. Stakingverse has grown into a major part of LUKSO staking. That is good for $LYX holders, but it also means we need to be responsible about concentration. We do not want Stakingverse-controlled infrastructure to become too large a share of the network. By working with M8B as an additional node operator, we can increase staking capacity while improving validator and client diversity. M8B has been active in blockchain, DeFi, and node operations for years, and has worked across multiple projects in Web3. We have also worked with M8B for years and have full confidence in their technical expertise, reliability, and operational discipline. M8B has also been an advisor to Stakingverse since day one. They have been involved from the early stages, so this is not a random new operator relationship. It feels like a logical and trusted next step with a team that already understands Stakingverse, LUKSO, and the standards we want to maintain. M8B will operate under the Stakingverse setup, so the liquid staking token remains the same: $sLYX. Users will not need to switch to a different liquid staking token or fragment liquidity across multiple staking derivatives. A key part of this onboarding is client diversity. M8B will run node clients that are currently underrepresented on LUKSO, and in any case different from the clients used by the existing Stakingverse setup. This helps reduce correlated risk and contributes to a more stable network. We believe it is important that $LYX holders have access to staking. LUKSO staking should not stay blocked for any longer, for the sake of the network. That is why we are taking this step carefully: • experienced node operator • new operator infrastructure • better client diversity • shared $sLYX liquidity • phased capacity increases • safety-first onboarding We expect to start next week by opening the first 1 Million $LYX of new staking capacity in batches. More details will follow as we progress.

What should we do to become the most attractive $ETH staking service?

Snagged a @Stakingverse Member's card off Upage while I could 💳 Will def be ready next time they open up for more staking 😆

Nobody asked us for this, we stil did want to improve it. The Stakingverse App now loads 17x faster. Check it out at app.stakingverse.io

lukso-token-2:native Staking has been re-opened 30 minutes ago. Did we finally solve the staking capacity problem on LUKSO?

Since we expect this opening to be highly congested, deposits will be token-gated to give our long-term supporters a better chance to stake their lukso-token-2:native. A Stakingverse Members Club Card is now required for deposits. Withdrawals remain open for everyone.

Staking for 640k lukso-token-2:native opening Sunday June 28 - 8PM CET!

M8B-011 and M8B-012 just entered the room 👀 The first batch of 640k $LYX is ready to be staked at our partners and friends @DevM8B! Staking will go live this weekend! We will try to notice you at least 4 hours up front!

I built a validator monitoring dashboard for the LUKSO validator community and contributed it to the official @ethPandaOps repo. The PR was accepted and is now live in production, so validators across other networks can benefit from it too. Contributing to the EVM family always feels good. Check it out: github.com/ethpandaops/dora/… LUKSO 🤝 EVM Family

There is a bit of open capacity to stake, test transaction in preparation of the next 1 Million $LYX. There is capacity for multiple transactions of 32 LYX atm!

Many many years ago…

Be prepared! Next week we will open for 640K $LYX and we expect to be filled in minutes again. We will announce the time and date up front!

Had an amazing time yesterday at the LUKSO Hub event! It was great seeing so many familiar faces from the team again and finally meeting some people in person for the first time. It was also wonderful to reconnect with community members and meet many of you for the first time. Thank you for all the kind words, support, energy, and conversations. It means a lot to me. Our community is truly special. Thank you all for being part of this journey and for supporting us over the years. If you took any photos with me, please share them. I’d love to see them!

Stakingverse just got a major dependency upgrade. All website packages are now back on the latest stable versions, helping the app remain fully secure and up to date. If anything broke during the upgrade, please report it so we can fix it fast. Check it here: app.stakingverse.io/

Fresh news from the LUKSO Hub party: We will open for 1 Million more $LYX starting next week together with @DevM8B!

And we’re fully filled again within just a couple of minutes 🚀 Around 1 million $LYX has now been deposited into @DevM8B validators. The network activation queue for these new validators is currently estimated at around 24 days. Before then, we’ll share an update on how we plan to proceed from there. No worries, staking will open up again one way or another. Stay tuned 👀

GM whale 🐳 The 640K $LYX for today is basically filled!
