Staking Rewards raises $ 3.2 million in funding



 $ 3.2 million for building another index and doubling the team - great success for Staking Rewards.

The data on the cost, amount and time of the staking has to come from somewhere so that exchanges and trading venues can show them to their customers. Since it was founded in 2017 , Staking Rewards has blossomed into an established source. Because these make it possible to “estimate passive sources of income by staking over 200 different crypto currencies”. The company relies on “reference return rates”. These make it possible to discover and compare different staking opportunities. For this purpose, it should be possible to assess the risk yourself with the aid of the “database of thousands of staking providers”.


This concept is apparently worth $ 3,208,815 or three million Swiss francs to investors on November 23. The group was led by Galaxy Digital , Coin Shares and the Digital Currency Group , which together hold approximately 50 billion US dollars in crypto assets.

Staking Rewards is the comparison portal for staking products

The company's idea is to determine and provide the data for the various Proof-of-Stake (PoS) based cryptocurrencies. 

We have an individual aggregation algorithm for each integrated cryptocurrency, which pulls the data in real time from blockchain nodes or other data indexing websites at least every two hours.

The aggregated metrics differ from blockchain to blockchain. Curing the relevant metrics, endpoints, and calculations to calculate the rate of return can take up to two weeks for certain cryptocurrencies.

In addition, the Staking Rewards team of 15 recently released the  SR20 index  . This, according to Mirko Schmiedl, acts “as a standard reference for the largest Layer 1 smart contract blockchains, similar to the DAX for the 30 largest German companies.” The index was structured as an "objective product":


We do not take a position with the index and objectively map the market of proof-of-stake networks. We have developed a method that maps a weighting based on the total clocked value per blockchain. Similar to how the S&P 500 or DAX is also an objective index.
The investable product is also operated staking with a group of validators who also objectively reflect the market. We do not take any position on a cryptocurrency or a specific staking provider.

Mirko Schmiedl, CEO and Co-Founder 

According to its own information, this index outperformed the general crypto market by more than 3.5 times last year.

Millions for the team expansion and another index

In the future, Staking Rewards has set itself the goal of doubling the team size and expanding the product range. The press release states that the million now received will be used to develop a new range of products and services for the staking area, “including the development of staking index products”. 

We are working with our partners to make these indices investable for everyone. For end users and against euros, as well as for large institutions and family offices. We are currently unable to share a timeline for this.

Mirko Schmiedl, CEO and Co-Founder 

Is staking the future?

According to Staking Rewards' own report and reports from JPMorgan, staking currently generates $ 9 billion in revenue per year. To this end, 19 out of 20 smart contract platforms are already based on some form of PoS. Meanwhile, according to the website, Solana is the cryptocurrency with the largest staked share.

In the future, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Ethereum, is also expected to switch to PoS. This will increase the income in this area even further. This is precisely why it is all the more important for users to be able to rely on fast and trustworthy data.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
