The first phase of STRK staking is launching on Mainnet in about a week!

To help you prepare for this milestone, here are a few key points to keep in mind:

> Although the public launch is scheduled for November 26, the STRK staking contract will be deployed on Mainnet 30 hours to 2 days earlier to allow our partners to integrate with it.

> If you're interested in becoming a validator, check out the Validator guide: https://t.co/z4p0bSIDsq

> Anyone can become a Validator by meeting the following requirements: a minimum of 20,000 STRK tokens and running a full node.

> Anyone can also become a Delegator with no requirements other than choosing a Validator to delegate to.

> There is a 21-day lockup period (for both Validator and Delegator) before you can withdraw your staked funds.

> Here are the expected STRK staking metrics at launch

> This launch is only Phase 1 of STRK staking. It’s an introductory phase designed for learning and gradual adoption, with the ultimate goal of transforming Starknet into a fully decentralized PoS network over time. Here’s our plan to achieve that:

See you in a week!
