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.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
