Stakehouse DevNet V2 is live! You’ll now notice that when minting your derivatives that you can select a Stakehouse. As a reminder here is the process.

1. Setup a validator with Expert Mode or Easy Mode (60 seconds)
2. Setup a Node (60 seconds)
3. Wait 8 hours
4. Select Stakehouse & mint derivatives (30 seconds)

The team has also added funds to the community faucet so users can test the new features. As always I’m in the chat to help people through.

Hello everyone

If you're looking for alpha this is probably the biggest opportunity you’re going to find for Blockswap/Stakehouse alpha. Blockswap has just released all of the Multichain ETH videos from Devconnect in Amsterdam.

It’s a full day of people talking about security, decentralization, and Stakehouse.

There’s so much information in here that the team has not shared on any other public form. Literally hours of it. If you want an in depth education on Stakehouse here is your opportunity.

PS: If you like the videos and want others to see them, leave a comment and hit the like button 😉

Tomorrow at 10am PT there will be a community call in Discord to discuss how Stakehouse fits into the retail staking marketplace.

https://discord.gg/s8N9ekQuuj
As Stakehouse mainnet inches closer, it is imperative to have continued community involvement. Therefore, the Blockswap DAO has been formed.

A few items to note:
- A community call will be held on August 26 at 10AM PT to discuss details and answer questions.
- Blockswap DAO will begin with Community Integration.
- There is a proposal for cBSN and SHB to convert to BSN.
- DevNet participants will be able to claim a BSN reward for their DevNet participation.
- There may be opportunities to receive BSN by being an Early Adopter in mainnet.
- For proposal and DAO related discussions, a Discourse has been created.
- The BSN token is an ERC20 governance token.

For a full scope of the information available please refer to the blog and the links inside.

Welcome to the Blockswap DAO!

If you have not already, please join the Blockswap Discord for all official Blockswap relate updates. Telegram was designed for Communitynet (cBSN) which is now coming to an end. Discord is for Blockswap Network (BSN) and all mainnet related activities.

gm to everyone,

The BSN claim is now live! A few things to note.

- You may have access to more than one claim of BSN.
- The easiest place to find links to the claim is via https://www.blockswap.network/
- There are time constraints on some of the claims so please be diligent.

Blog post with all relevant information.

The moment you've all been waiting for
It's been over 3 years since Stakehouse was first conceptualized. It's a happy day for everyone here at Blockswap Labs to say that Stakehouse is live in Mainnet. Whether you've been here since the beginning of Communitynet, joined during DevNet, or are watching and waiting for this moment, thank you for being here.

https://dapp.joinstakehouse.com/

What does this mean exactly?
Stakers can now deposit real ETH from ETH Mainnet to Stakehouse. This is huge for the solo staking community. Never before have solo stakers had access to a liquid staked ETH token (dETH). If you're not familiar with stakehouse go to our announcement blog post and bring any questions you may have to this Discord.

ETH staking in Easy Mode
Stake ETH in 60 seconds
Become a solo staker
Hold dETH with 75%+ more yield than liquid staking tokens
Multichain without a bridge
0 Commissions
Permissionless
Trustless

gm to everyone

Centralization can come in many forms. There are four major checks to make sure your ETH staking is decentralized.

Checklist to avoid centralization.

Always make sure you have access to your validator keys.

Ensure you have 100% autonomy over the node operation.

Do not enter centralizing staking pools.

Have the ability to exit anytime.

We shall never surrender our validator keys

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3LHqANo14g
Remember that most liquid staking protocols which talk about decentralization are not fully decentralized.

One of the best things you can do for yourself and Ethereum is to become a solo staker.

The easiest way to do that is with Stakehouse. YOU can become a solo staker in 60 seconds and OWN your own blockspace. You pay 0 commissions and have access to a derivative ETH.

🚨New Ethereum Staking Superpowers Incoming🚨

Join us: https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1lDxLnDZXWRGm

To those who have been following closely, you are already aware of what’s next for Stakehouse and Blockswap.

Stakehouse is a meta-delegation infrastructure for Ethereum staking. It works as a liquid staking derivatives (LSD) protocol factory. Anybody with 4 ETH and 30 minutes can create a new protocol and begin sourcing ETH from the community. There will be three LSD options🌈🫠

Node Operators always receive 50% of the network revenue (MEV, tips, etc) from their specific validator. In this way, it encourages node operators to perform their best. Node operators access half of all network revenue with only 4 ETH. That means if they expect to make 8% in MEV and fees they can now expect to make ~32% APR on their ETH🫡

Mev and Fees have access to the other 50% of network revenue. They are getting an average rate from all validators in that specific LSD network (not all LSD networks). That means if the average within the LSD network is 7% APR on network revenue they could make ~28% APR on their ETH.

Protected Staking is like liquid staking except there is always a 1:1 traceability guarantee to ETH within a validator. It is a liquid stake with 33% more rewards per ETH than traditional validator staking. Using Ethereum’s 4.1% that means ~5.46% APR on ETH with protections:Blockswap_sunglasses2x:

And remember, Stakehouse always collects 0 commissions:staking2x:

Everyone welcome to join us for a Twitter space to discuss this new superpower for ETH stakers.

GM Blockswap! ☀️

The devs are working hard to finish the new LSD toolkit for @everyone. If you're still a bit lost on what exactly that means for you personally, here is a helpful video to learn more about the upcoming free product.

- You'll be able to find benefit if you are a node operator (it only costs 4 ETH per validator)
- Looking for a consistent yield (liquid staking with 33% more yield per ETH than traditional validator staking)
- Or want access to MEV and Tips (gas fees and all network revenue)

btw, it all pays out in ETH.

LSD Summer is coming, and for the security of ETH we believe 10,000 LSD networks is better than 10! Let us know what you think in Discord.

Hello everyone,

Extremely exciting things are happening with Blockswap.

1. If you have not converted your cBSN or SHB to BSN yet, this is a reminder to start the process before Thursday, December 8, 2022 at 1 PM PST. The process needs to be started by then.

2. Blockswap is having an incentivized testnet for Stakehouse LSD Networks. This is an opportunity to get acquainted with the new app. With LSD Networks node operators can stake validators with 4 ETH.

3. We have announced a 40 Dappnode giveaway for those who run validators and nodes in Stakehouse LSD Network’s Mainnet.

If you have any questions or want to get involved with the incentivized testnet or giveaway, please join us in Discord.

🙌 OWN AN LSD NETWORK IN 60 SECONDS - NO CODE NEEDED🙌

We are kicking off the new week with a very special announcement.

You can now create and deploy your own Liquid Staking Network within 60 seconds without using any code! This is possible using the Stakehouse LSD Deployer Tool with Safe.

We believe this level of accessibility will decentralize the Ethereum network. It allows anyone to create a Liquid Staking Derivatives Network regardless of their technical knowledge level. Remember, 10,000 LSD Networks are better than 10! 💪

Join our Twitter Space this Thursday to learn about how to decentralize Ethereum through liquid staking - https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1LyxBqDykWrJN
