We’re thrilled to see the energy and engagement since the launch of the Stake Off last week. Big thanks to all of you who’ve participated, joined the discussion online and provided valuable feedback! We couldn’t have done it without you.
Over the past week, the community has identified some subtle bugs. You can find the incident report here. Providing the best Stake Off experience for the community is our number one priority!
As such, phase 1 is extending to early Jan 2020 during this period BTUs will continue to hold no value. This also means that the Stake Off, originally due to end Jan 21st, will end Feb 4th, 2020.
Here are the new timings:
- Phase 1.0 (Dec 4th 2019 - Dec 10th): Gain operational experience (BTUs have no value)
- Phase 1.1 (Dec 11th 2019 - Jan 7th 2020): Network reset & gain operational experience continued (BTUs have no value)
- Phase 2.0 (Jan 8th - 21st 2020): Test Attestations (BTUs count towards leaderboard)
- Phase 3.0 (Jan 22nd - Feb 4th 2020): Test OPSEC & governance (BTUs count towards leaderboard)
IMPORTANT: the network reset to phase 1.1. on Dec 11th. If you had a node on Baklava prior to this reset, make sure to transition your setup.
