PANews reported on November 26 that according to CoinDesk, Ethereum Layer-2 expansion solution Starknet officially launched the crypto staking function, becoming the first Ethereum L2 network that supports users to earn income by staking tokens. Users holding at least 20,000 STRK (about $12,000) can become validators, and stake assets as collateral to verify transactions and receive rewards; users holding less than 20,000 STRK can entrust tokens to validators for staking.
Users need to wait 21 days to stake and withdraw tokens, including the rewards generated during the staking period. At the same time, Bitwise Asset Management announced that it will operate a public validator node for STRK holders to delegate staking and provide independent validator services to institutional clients.
