Starknet announced that the second phase of the STRK staking program will be launched in the second quarter of 2025. Data show that the first phase has attracted more than 60,000 delegates to participate, with a total of 150 million STRKs pledged, and a total of 100 validators connected to the network. Starknet said that the first phase was mainly used to test the basic principles of the pledge mechanism and economic parameters, which lasted about three months. The second phase will give validators a more active role, evaluating their active level indicators, in preparation for the third phase of formal participation in consensus. The new phase will introduce the validator block authentication mechanism and may increase the commission ratio.
