Stafi team has achieved a milestone over the months and been working tirelessly in giving their community all that has been promised in their roadmap. In an effort to fulfill those promises, StaFi has made great progress in all aspects. In terms of technology, StaFi rolled out rETH and rFIS solutions. rBridge has undergone alpha test, open beta, and security audits, and is now preparing for the official release. lastly Stafi initiated a two weeks rFIS incentive test has been concluded
UPDATE DETAILS.
TESTING ON RFIS COMPLETED.
1) On 30th November, StaFi officially released rFIS, the staking liquidity solution for the mainnet FIS. rFIS is the first rToken launched by StaFi. Through rFIS, StaFi not only solves the liquidity problem for FIS stakers but also increases node revenue for validators and increases StaFi’s staking rate.
2) The product has been developed, and the Open Beta was launched on December 2. Meanwhile, we’ve launched a test incentive campaign.
3) On 21st December, StaFi announced the status of rFIS test incentives. 169 addresses participated in the test and 66 staking users and 40 validators have received the rewards.
4) The rFIS contract code has been submitted to PeckShield, an audit agency. After the audit, we will optimize the code and prepare for its launch on the mainnet.
2.rETH solution
1) On 12th November, StaFi officially released the ETH2.0 Staking liquidity solution. Users can participate in ETH 2.0 Staking through the Staking Contract deployed on Ethereum through StaFi. The minimum deposit is 0.01ETH, instead of 32ETH. The platform will automatically issue rETH to users, which anchors principal and staking income. rETH can also be exchanged for ETH on DEX and be lent through loan agreements.
2) The development has been basically completed. The Open Beta was launched on 17th December and StaFi has arranged an incentive test campaign, which is underway. By far, over 300 users and 300 validators participated.
3) The rETH contract code has been submitted to PeckShield, an audit agency. After the audit, we will optimize the code and be prepared for its launch on the mainnet.
3.rBridge
On 11th December, rBridge was launched on the StaFi mainnet. FIS of StaFi mainnet can be converted to ERC20 FIS at a 1:1 rate, and then be circulated in the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem transaction, lending, and other scenarios. So far, 814,388 mainnet FIS have been converted to ERC20 FIS through rBridge.
4.rToken whitepaper
On 16th December, StaFi released the rToken white paper, which elaborates on rToken’s product design and future plans. The white paper encompasses 11 chapters, including summary, the introduction of rToken, business structure, rToken exchange rate, rToken circulation, revenue and expense mechanism, governance, FIS Token value capture, future planning, etc.
5.ETH2.0 Slash solution
On 22nd December, StaFi released a solution for the Slash of ETH 2.0. StaFi believes that currently, an 8 ETH deposit made by validators can avoid the loss of StaFi users’ assets in most slash cases. In addition, StaFi has also introduced a Slash insurance fund pool for validators to hedge against Slash excess losses. We will announce more details in the future.
- ETH2.0 Staking delegation mechanism On 29th December, StaFi published an article analyzing the possible reasons why ETH2.0 Phase 0 doesn’t have a staking delegation mechanism, and how StaFi rETH could build that mechanism before ETH2.0 Phase 2 goes live. The article also pointed out that the design of rETH based on asset security can to the greatest extent protect the asset security of stakers.
