Starknet, an Ethereum layer-2 project developed by StarkWare, announced it will introduce staking features on November 26, 2024, after initially proposing it in July. Validators will need a minimum of $9,610 worth of STRK tokens to operate their nodes, while delegators must hold STRK tokens to select a validator for their stakes. Additionally, there will be a 21-day unstaking lockup period for both validators and delegators. Recently, StarkWare has shifted its focus from Ethereum layer-2 development to exploring opportunities within the Bitcoin ecosystem, collaborating with notable Bitcoin developers on features to enhance Bitcoin's programmability.
