As a result of regulatory uncertainty in the United States, Staked will be shutting down the Robo-Advisor for Yield service (RAY) on November 1, 2022. RAY was an innovative experiment that worked well for depositors. Every depositor made money, earning a higher yield than they would have elsewhere. We’re disappointed that RAY will be shut down, but the landscape has evolved rapidly and the cost of dealing with undefined regulations is too great.
We kindly request that you withdraw your funds from RAY as soon as possible. On November 1, 2022, we will use our administrative keys to return all deposits to depositors, remove access from the Staked.us website and turn off the oracles that update RAY on a regular basis.
The RAY smart contracts remain open source and available for anyone to carry the torch. The Github repo is available here: https://github.com/Stakedllc/robo-advisor-yield

✅ Solana Rewards
Get excited SOL holders! Staking rewards are expected to be activated in the next week! The community governance process to enable inflation (and staking rewards) on mainnet started on 01/29, is expected to be completely as early as Tuesday 02/09, but more likely by 02/15.
The proposed inflation rate is 8% in year 1, and set to decrease 15% year-over-year. The current stake rate is 29.7%, (144.9M staked SOL / 488.6 total current SOL supply), resulting in a staking yield of 26.9% (.08 inflation / .297 stake rate).
Staked has been operating a top performing validator on Solana testnets & mainnet beta for 1+ years. Stake now to ensure you are eligible to earn staking rewards as soon as they are live!

Cryptocurrency Staking Rewards Top $20 Billion in 2020: Report
“I'd expect the yield from staking to come down over time as people get comfortable with the risks and staking gets easier. But I also think the most successful projects will actively think about ‘monetary policy’ for their chains, ensuring the right balance between security and inflation.”
Staked found that staking across various blockchains earned an average weighted yield of 11.2% per year, a healthy return compared to the less than 3% average dividend yield provided by the S&P 500 over the last decade, according to Investopedia.

Fireblocks Rolls Out Staking Rewards for Eth 2.0, Polkadot and Tezos
Announced Thursday, Fireblocks is partnering with staking infrastructure providers Staked and Blockdaemon to offer hosted proof-of-stake (PoS) services for Ethereum 2.0 and the popular Polkadot (DOT) and Tezos (XTZ) tokens.
Fireblocks, which raised $30 million in funding in November last year, uses a technique called multi-party computation (MPC) that protects cryptographic keys by splitting them into pieces, and which the company says is well suited to the dynamic business of blockchain token staking.
“We are launching staking wallets to Fireblocks customers who collectively hold a significant balance of crypto assets,” Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov said in an interview. He said that while the majority of Fireblocks’ over 165 clients have bitcoin, “between DOT, XTZ and ETH we have over $1 billion of assets” that can be staked.

Valid Points: A Year in Review by Your Ethereum 2.0 Staking Experts
Our first contribution is from Tim Ogilvie, the founder and CEO of Staked. Staked helps investors earn yield from staking and DeFi without taking custody of their crypto assets.
“My favorite Ethereum chart shows the daily gas usage. I love it because it’s one part of the great story that I expect will propel ETH over the next few years. There are three legs to the stool:
- Our chart. People are using ETH with increasing frequency, driving increased gas demand.
- EIP-1559, introducing Fee Burns. This is an upcoming Ethereum improvement that will take all of the gas demand and use it to burn ETH. The more ETH gets used, the more ETH supply gets burned.
- Eth 2: Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake, allowing for low issuance of new supply while providing strong security guarantees.
“Bitcoin has an amazing story as an asset with a fixed supply of 21 million BTC. Ethereum’s story has the potential to be even stronger. If gas usage exceeds supply issuance, you’ve now got a digital asset with a steadily declining supply.
“My 2021 prediction: This becomes the dominant story around ETH’s valuation and it drives significant price appreciation.”

CoinDCX to launch Liquid ETH-backed token for users
U.S-based Staked, which provides non-custodial staking services for institutions and is the leading independent validator for Ethereum 2.0, is partnering with CoinDCX to support Ethereum 2.0 staking.
Tim Ogilvie – Co, CEO and co-founder of Staked said, “We are thrilled to extend our support to CoinDCX in such a way that the exchange’s users can now take advantage of our staking infrastructure to participate in Ethereum’s major upgrade.”
Bitcoin Transaction Fees Doubled This Week. Here’s Why
It is simply a case of more buying demand means more BTC transactions, which means higher fees, according to Tim Ogilvie, CEO of Staked, which provides institutions with infrastructure services for crypto assets.
So, when there’s an exceptional amount of activity on the Bitcoin network, miners hike up their fees to prioritize those who really want to process Bitcoin transactions.
Tim joins me back on the show to update everyone Staked which for the last few years has been facilitating what I call the emergence of fixed income in Digital Assets. Essentially Staked helps investors earn yield from staking and DeFi without taking custody of crypto assets; some of the yields on the platform are high 10's and 20's. We talk about the how this works, what goes into staking and the emergence of ETH2 and why this is potentially a watershed moment.

One of Ethereum’s most popular software wallets, MyEtherWallet is joining other crypto businesses by giving users access to Ethereum 2.0 staking.
Through a partnership with node-hosting service Staked, MyEtherWallet now offers its browser and mobile wallet users the option to stake ETH tokens into the Ethereum 2.0 Beacon Chain deposit contract, a smart contract that lays the foundations for Ethereum’s revamped blockchain infrastructure.
MyEtherWallet “users need to stake 32 ETH to participate. Staked will run a validator node for them, making it easy for the users who don’t have the technical knowledge to participate, so no further action is required on the user’s part,” MyEtherWallet CEO Kosala Hemachandra told CoinDesk.

Ether Capital Corporation Announces Initial Commitment to Staking on Ethereum 2.0
Publicly-Traded Ether Capital Begins Staking on an Ethereum 2.0 Node
Ether Capital Corporation (“Ether Capital” or the “Company”) (NEO:ETHC) announces that it has begun participating in staking on the newly launched Ethereum 2.0 network and has committed to running a validator node on the network.
Ether Capital’s validator has been running since Ethereum 2.0’s genesis block which was confirmed at approximately 7:00am ET on December 1, 2020.
Brian Mosoff, Ether Capital’s CEO, said: “The launch of Ethereum 2.0 is an exciting and historic milestone in the digital asset space and we are thrilled to be part of it by running a validator. The transition to staking has been part of Ether Capital’s roadmap since inception and means that Ether holders are now able to generate an Ether-denominated return, or yield, by participating in network validation.”
Ether Capital has entered into an agreement with Staked, an industry leading blockchain services provider, to run its Ethereum 2.0 validator.
Tim Ogilvie, Staked’s CEO, said: “We are excited to be working with the team at Ether Capital on running its validator. Staked has built a reputation for ease and reliability for proof of stake services and we are grateful for the trust that Ether Capital has put in us.”
“This rally is largely driven by institutional buy-in,” said Tim Ogilvie, CEO of Staked, which provides institutions with infrastructure services for crypto assets. He pointed to hedge fund managers like Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller including bitcoin in their broad investment strategies.
🖥️ Livepeer Explorer Update
🌉 Secret Network Ethereum Bridge
The bridge allows users to create synthetic (wrapped) ETH and ERC-20 tokens on Secret Network that can be used with full privacy, at lower cost. This is not only a huge improvement for privacy-conscious users of Ethereum and DeFi applications; it’s a critical step along our path to building a more secure, more accessible, and more usable global open financial ecosystem.
We are excited to be a bridge operator and look forward to continuing to support the Secret Network.
