Layer-2 network Starknet will open staking on its ecosystem by the end of 2024, the developer firm StarkWare shared on Wednesday. The news was announced at the Ethereum Community Conference in Brussels, Belgium, by the company’s CEO Eli Ben-Sasson.
Stakers will have to lock their tokens for a 21-day period before being allowed to withdraw their funds, according to a press release shared with CoinDesk. StarkWare, the main development firm behind Starknet, shared that staking will be rolled out in several phases. “In the first main stage, stakers will need to connect to Starknet, interact with the staking contracts, and follow the proposed protocol rules to stake,” the press release said. Teams at StarkWare and Starknet Foundation will study their users' staking habits to determine later staking mechanism updates.
