LianGuai reported that Solana ecosystem protocol Marinade Finance has launched the liquidity staking product Marinade Native, allowing users to directly stake SOL to nodes and receive liquidity tokens mSOL. The developers stated that through Marinade Native, users can retain custody of SOL while earning approximately 7% staking rewards. The staking will be distributed among multiple validator nodes, ranked and staked based on factors such as decentralization.
3. Polygon announces new governance model composed of an “Ecosystem Committee”
LianGuai reported that the Polygon team has revealed plans to create a new governance framework aimed at achieving more decentralized control over the ecosystem. This development is in response to the team’s new roadmap called Polygon 2.0, which aims to develop a zero-knowledge-driven Layer 2 chain network.
The team stated that Polygon’s new governance model will consist of “three governance pillars,” focusing on the governance of its core protocol, smart contracts, and community funds. Other key features include the expansion of the Polygon Improvement Proposal (PIP) framework, the introduction of an “Ecosystem Committee” for system smart contract upgrades, and a two-stage community treasury governance to provide funding for promising ecosystem projects.
4. Cosmos ecosystem liquidity staking protocol Stride to transition to an ATOM-driven security model
On July 19th, based on Cosmos, liquidity staking protocol Stride plans to transition from its existing STRD token model to the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) system driven by ATOM tokens. Stride contributor Ian Unsworth stated, “The transition may occur between Wednesday 17:00 and 21:30 (UTC time) at block height 4616678.” Unsworth added, “Although Stride TVL is over $35 million, it only has $19 million in economic security by bonding network tokens. After the IBC transition, block production/security will be passed to the ATOM validator set, increasing the network’s economic security by approximately 11,935.2%.”
According to the official blog, the transition to IBC will increase Stride’s economic security from approximately $25 million to $2.3 billion, making the protocol more resistant to hacking attacks.
