The Evmos validator node is live! Claiming airdrop tokens should begin at 2021-03-03 18:00 UTC, please standby for further instructions.
### How to stake on Evmos

The Evmos team is still working on the Rektdrop claiming page, but meanwhile you may use this page to perform the first mission, and delegate to Jerry's Pool if you have tokens!

https://evmos.disperze.network/validators/evmosvaloper1lldjhjnn32e8vek7cxe9g05nf8j74y0xs5zmsu

Steps:
1. Connect your Keplr wallet.
2. If you were eligible for Rektdrop you should have a small amount of tokens. You're welcome to stake those to Jerry's Pool on the validators list.
3. A 25% of your airdrop will be released from escrow into your wallet. Stake those too, if you'd like!
4. Go to the "Governance" tab on the left sidebar, and choose the first proposal.
5. Vote "Yes". This releases a second 25% of the airdrop.

Additional Steps: There are two other missions including IBC transfers and EVM smart contracts calls. I would recommend waiting for the official page to be released.

Happy staking!
What is the APR for staking $EVMOS, right now? I did the math.

Inflation per epoch for year 1 is 847602.

At 1.2M tokens staked currently, bonding ratio = 0.6%.

Staking rewards ratio = 53.33%

Inflation rate = 81.98%

APR = inflation rate / current bonded ratio = 13663%

Jerry's Pool now supports auto-compounding $CRO via @eco_stake's fantastic REStake platform.

Existing delegators may enable this by visiting: https://restake.app/cryptoorgchain from your desktop and clicking "Enable". You'll need the Keplr extension for this!

Friends, I am pleased to announce that the old Jerry's Pool #Cosmos node will be re-launching as @IcyCro tomorrow! (in ~10 hours). Delegate $ATOM and participate in Icy's community projects to receive $ICY tokens, and a chance to win $CRO.

IcyCRO.org was born to foster a strong community around CRO delegators. Sounds super cliche, but it is a token truly built *by the community* and *for the community*. Other stuff:
βœ…NFTs and Game-Fi with @IcySquidGame
βœ…CRO jackpot raffles
βœ…DEX Farming
etc...

For more info, please follow @IcyCro and join our Telegram: https://t.me/IcyCROchat

See you tomorrow!
Gentle reminder that Evmos airdrop claiming is now live! (though Keplr reportedly does not work, yet)

To check if you are eligible or to claim any pending rewards, check: https://app.evmos.org/mission-control
Evmos staking rewards are now live! Rewards for delegations are released every day at 7pm UTC (convert here: https://mytime.io/7pm/UTC).

Staking APR currently sits at *~1400%* πŸ‘€

Claim and restake your tokens here: https://app.evmos.org/staking
PSA for Restake.app users for CRO/ATOM/EVMOS

Just a reminder that if you've set a "Max amount" when enabling automatic compounding in Restake.app, please make sure it's a high enough amount. This number is deducted and goes down whenever compounding runs, and when it hits zero your grant is removed, and my scripts will no longer process your rewards!

To refresh/update your grants, go to Restake.app, click Jerry's Pool and check under the REStake tab.
The Evmos' v6.0.1 chain upgrade was successful! Automatic restaking should be updated with the new gas changes, but do let me know if anything breaks.
New upgrade proposal for the Crypto.org chain!
Forwarded from Cosmos Upgrades (Cosmos Upgrades)
⚠️ NEW SOFTWARE UPGRADE PROPOSAL

Chain: cryptoorgchain
Name: v4.2.0
Height: 10073800

πŸ”— Check Proposal
Jerry's Pool has completed the Crypto-org Chain's v4 upgrade!

Due to the upgrade's minimum commission rate change, the Pool's commission rate is now at 5%.

I've summarized other changes here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Crypto_com/comments/zrawd7/preproposal_discussion_on_cryptoorg_chains/j12kprv/
We're now on @stride_zone! Only 2 weeks remaining before it'll be folded under @cosmoshub's Interchain Security anyway, but we'd like to also start participating more actively as an $STRD governor.

All delegations are welcome, thank you. 🎩
Hi all!

It has been a while since I last wrote on this channel.

As you may be aware, a new proposal has been introduced to establish the Cronos Strategic Reserve (https://blog.cronos.org/p/the-new-golden-age-for-cronos) by reissuing 70 billion CRO tokens, previously burned in 2021, to continue growing the ecosystem. Link to the proposal's discussion: https://github.com/crypto-org-chain/chain-main/discussions/1124

This proposal seems to have sparked diverse opinions online, but mainly expressing concerns about the potential implications of the total supply increasing back to 100B. I've wrote some thoughts here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cro/comments/1j277az/initial_proposal_cronos_pos_v5_upgrade/mfphg1j/

I would like to remind all delegators that your voice matters in this governance process. You have the right to participate in the voting on this proposal and can override the vote of your validator(s) if you choose to do so. Your active participation ensures that the future direction of the Cronos ecosystem reflects the collective will of its community members.

Thank you for your continued support of The Pool. Hopefully, the future will be ever brighter (and all of our wallets a little fuller 😁)!

Best regards,
Jerry Chong.
