Staking $BEAM with NodeOps Staking Hub

We’re excited to announce that Beam staking is now live on NodeOps’ Staking Hub. With Staking Hub, it’s easier than ever to participate in Proof-of-Stake networks and earn rewards.

You can now bring your $BEAM and stake it directly to NodeOps' Beam Mainnet Validator Node. In return, you’ll earn rewards in both $BEAM and benefit from Stakedrop.

Stakedrop is the dual incentive program designed to reward you, the community. With Stakedrop, not only do you earn $BEAM, you also accrue stNODE — Node Points (NPs) that can be exchanged for $NODE once the campaign concludes.

Why stake $BEAM with NodeOps?

• Daily $BEAM and stNODE rewards that auto-compound.

• A total of 500,000 stNODE points allocated for this Stakedrop.

• Simple onboarding via Stake.NodeOps.Network

stNODE can be redeemed for $NODE tokens after the campaign ends, following a progressive unlock schedule. It’s a powerful way to stack rewards while supporting the decentralization of the Beam network.

The Ts&Cs

• Campaign Duration: Epoch 1 ends on 1st May, 1200 UTC

• stNODE Unlock Schedule:

  • 15 Days → Unlock 10%

  • 30 Days → Unlock 25%

  • 90 Days → Unlock 50%

  • 150 Days → Unlock 100%

• Unstaking: 7-day cool down period before you can withdraw

NodeOps runs a highly reliable validator so you don’t need to even think about the infrastructure. Whether you’re a solo staker or a Protocol supporter, you’re just a few clicks away from putting your $BEAM to work.

Why the cooldown?

The cooldown period is something many Protocols enforce. We know, no one likes the delay, but it serves several very important functions:

1. Enhances security: The cooldown period acts as a buffer, allowing the protocol to detect and respond to potential threats like malicious activity or sudden network changes. This protects the blockchain's integrity and ensures that validators can continue securing transactions effectively.

2. Promotes commitment: By requiring stakers to wait before accessing their funds, the system encourages long-term participation rather than frequent staking and unstaking. This commitment strengthens the network and rewards users who contribute consistently.

Please remember, while waiting may seem inconvenient, it ultimately safeguards Beam and, by extension, your $BEAM by maintaining a robust and secure ecosystem. It also ensures that staking remains a reliable way to earn rewards while supporting the network's operations.

Keep peeled

Keep an eye out on the Staking Hub app for the leaderboard (coming soon): where the community will get their say in which chain we validate next.
