Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet officially announced that it will launch the STRK token staking function on the mainnet on November 26. The function has been extensively tested on the Sepolia testnet and is about to enter the first phase of deployment.
According to the official announcement, there are two ways to participate in staking: to become a validator, you need to stake at least 20,000 STRK and run a full node; to become a delegator, you only need to hold STRK tokens and choose from the list of available validators. Whether it is a validator or a delegator, it takes a 21-day lock-up period to release the stake.
