Validator Deprecation: 9 Chains Sunset

Optimizing Our Staking Portfolio for Better Performance

As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional staking services, we've made the strategic decision to deprecate validators across 9 underperforming blockchain networks. This optimization allows us to concentrate resources on higher-yield ecosystems and provide enhanced value to our delegators.

Deprecated Networks

Effective immediately, we've discontinued validator operations across the following chains:

  • Akash

  • Babylon

  • Bifrost

  • dYdX (frontend removed; validator remains operational until February 28)

  • Kava

  • Osmosis

  • Shentu

  • Skale

  • Terra

What This Means for Users

This strategic consolidation enables us to:

  • Focus Resources: More focused effort toward higher-performing networks with strong growth potential

  • Improve Service Quality: Deliver better uptime and performance across our remaining validator infrastructure

  • Enhance User Experience: Provide more streamlined staking options with improved returns

Moving Forward

Our commitment to providing best-in-class staking services remains unchanged. By maintaining a leaner, more focused validator portfolio, we can better serve our community while ensuring optimal resource allocation across the most promising blockchain ecosystems.
