Today, Moonstake announced the support of staking Quras‘s cryptocurrency XQC in Moonstake’s Web and Mobile Wallets. In April of last year, Moonstake announced a strategic partnership with QURAS, and two companies have been working together on the Moonstake’s development of all necessary functions as a node.

QURAS is a next generation blockchain that enables anonymous, privacy-protected transactions. After three years of conception and development, their mainnet was officially launched on 19th December 2020. It features the benefits of blockchain while ensuring a certain level of confidentiality by providing privacy technology.

There are two coins in QURAS: XQC and XQG, a gas token. Users can earn XQG approximately every 18 seconds by holding XQC. XQG is designed to decrease for every 2 million QURAS blockchain blocks generated, and more XQG is allocated to holders who support QURAS through their holding XQC from early phases.

So far, Moonstake has supported Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, and Polkadot for staking. All of these coins require staking steps in your wallet, but with XQC, you will be rewarded with XQG if you just hold QURAS in your Moonstake Wallet.

Here’s a simple 3-step process to stake XQC with Moonstake Wallet:
1. Register your mobile Moonstake wallet (https://wallet.moonstake.io) or download Moonstake Mobile Application
2. Add XQC and XQG with “Add New Asset”
3. Transfer XQC to Moonstake wallet

To receive XQG generated by holding XQC, please select XQC in the wallet and select “Claim GAS”. When you have finished receiving your XQG, your balance will be displayed in the XQG in your wallet.

Shigeki Kakutani, CEO & Founder at QURAS says: “We are very honored that QURAS has been selected as one of the coins for staking by Moonstake that only accepts staking of outstanding projects. Since our core philosophy is staking for the “Common Good” rather than purely for profit, we hope to grow with Moonstake and boost the staking industry together while expanding the future of public blockchain.”

Moonstake is looking forward to further cooperation with QURAS to increase its market presence and further enhance the staking of popular cryptocurrency coins to provide users with more choices.

Today, Moonstake announced the support of staking Polkadot’s cryptocurrency DOT, one of top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, in Moonstake’s Web Wallet. After Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano and Qtum became the 8th available staking coin on Moonstake Web Wallet.

Polkadot is a next-generation blockchain protocol connecting multiple specialized blockchains into one unified network. Polkadot is the flagship project of Web3 Foundation, the world’s leading blockchain foundation founded by Ethereum co-founder and former CTO Dr. Gavin Wood. In addition to Dr. Wood, other key members of the Web3 Foundation include Dr. Aeron Buchanan, former Head of European Operations at Ethereum, and Reto Trinkler, co-founder of Melonport.

As of January 2021, 63% of the total supply or $6 billion of DOTs have been staked since Polkadot’s mainnet launched in May 2020. The price of DOT, the native token of Polkadot and a cross-chain protocol for data and asset interoperability has risen more than 40% in December 2020 after two confidence votes by Binance, the largest crypto exchange by spot trading volume and placing it at ranking 7 cryptocurrencies by the market cap.

This time, Moonstake has added Polkadot’s staking service, a global cryptocurrency to further enhance the staking of cryptocurrency’s top market capitalization coins to giving users more choices.

Here’s a simple 4-step process to stake DOT on Moonstake Wallet:
1. Register your mobile Moonstake wallet (https://wallet.moonstake.io)
2. Add DOT with “Add New Asset”
3. Transfer DOT to Moonstake web wallet
4. Click the “Stake Now” button (*You need to have at least 1 DOT to start staking for the first time.)

How DOT Staking Works:
When staking, you can select multiple validators (up to 16 validators) to stake. Simply choose 1-16 validators (staking providers) and nominate them. If more than 256 nominators nominate the same validator, it is “oversubscribed”, and only the top 256 staked nominators (ranked by the amount of stake) are paid rewards. If your stake is in place 257 or higher, you will not receive staking rewards.

How to get Rewards of DOT staking:
APY is 13.32%. To receive the staking rewards, you must manually claim your rewards using the function inside the staking tab. Staking rewards are kept available for 84 days only. Please be aware that If you do not claim your staking rewards by this time, then you will not be able to claim them and some of your staking rewards will be lost.

How DOT unstaking works:
You must unstake when sending a DOT during staking. However, for 28 days after the unstake, it will be in the “cancellation request” state and will be locked. After the 28-day lock period has expired, you can withdraw your DOT. There are no staking rewards during the lock period.

We are pleased to announce that Moonstake is organising a joint webinar with BeaconScan, Ethereum 2.0 block explorer by Etherscan on 17th of November at 20:00 Singapore/Malaysia Time.

BeaconScan is an Ethereum 2.0 block explorer by Etherscan. It tracks validations made on the Beacon Chain and provides features familiar to Etherscan users such as the Watchlist, a Personalized Dashboard and Multi-device Login Access. On top of being a block explorer, BeaconScan.com is also Ethereum 2.0’s first independent monitoring service.

Ethereum 2.0 is an upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain. This upgrade aims to speed up the Ethereum network and solve traditional scalability issues. In addition, Ethereum 2.0 will eventually move to Proof of Stake (PoS) from the conventional Ethereum’s Proof of Work (PoW).

Ethereum 2.0 is scheduled to be completed through four phases, the first of which, “Phase 0,” is scheduled to launch later this year. “Phase 0” is the launch of the BeaconChain, a chain that manages validators and performs proof of stakes, and is performed by ETH staking. The long-awaited upgrade of Ethereum has had a significant impact on the blockchain industry as a whole, with more attention given to proof of stake and staking.

This joint webinar is a great opportunity to get a good understanding of Ethereum 2.0 and this upgrade will be an event to reaffirm the growth and development of the blockchain industry. Please join us.
