Hello from the growing team at Agoric — yes, we’re hiring. See below. We’ve just finished up Staking Month out of a desire to educate our community with guides, AMAs, and other helpful resources. Thanks to all the validators who shared their time to provide guidance and support. And just because Staking Month is over doesn’t mean staking is over. Get more information on staking your BLD at stake.agoric.com.
Monthly Community Call: Join us on Wednesday, May 4th, at 9am PT (17:00 UTC) on Twitter Spaces for our May Community Call! 📣 We’ll be reviewing everything that happened during April’s Staking Month push, and discuss the BLD and RUN rewards and parameters for those who secure the chain by staking BLD.
