Flipside

8 out of the top 10 stakers on Ethereum increased their positions over the last year. This is a strong vote of confidence in the future of staking on Ethereum, even though yield dropped 12% with increased competition. (There are now more than 1 million ETH validators) In our new 2024 Staking Trends Report, we break down the big changes in staking and their implications for the future of web3. It covers: - macro trends - liquid staking - user behavior and more. Link in the replies.

ZK isn't just for privacy anymore — it's become a way of scaling blockchains like we've never seen. And there's a new chain making waves in ZK. Aleo makes it easy to build private, permissionless dapps, and since launch in Sept, over 500k people have gathered around it. It saw 167% dev growth while in testnet, and now that it's in mainnet, it's gaining more attention. And now, Aleo data is live on Flipside! Soon, we'll be sharing the trends analysts find in the data. But what's already clear is that one of Aleo's greatest strengths is the robustness of its network. Keep an eye on proofs generated, mining activity, program interactions, and transaction trends.

Proof-of-stake networks will never be the same. Thanks to Shanghai making it possible to withdraw staked ETH and innovation in liquid staking, the top PoS chains experienced wild growth in staking this year, as well as significant changes in user behavior. Our 2024 Staking Trends Report breaks down the data and its implications, like how: ETH validators grew past 1 million, causing yield to drop 12%. Polygon's staking volume was roughly net neutral thanks to artificial caps on validator numbers, while ETH staked grew 27%. Liquid staking grew 26% on Ethereum, 56% on Polygon. Liquid staking makes up an ever-larger portion of all staked assets, now up to 42% of all staked ETH. This is a significant change caused by dropping yield and the attractiveness of constant control over funds.
