7 May 2021, IOST has formally joined forces with Moonstake to enable staking functionality for IOST coin on Moonstake wallets.

Moonstake started in the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, Moonstake has developed the most user-friendly wallets for both Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) that are compatible with over 2000 cryptocurrencies.

After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake’s total staking assets now sit at over $993 million and the Moonstake platform is now one of the top 15 largest staking service providers globally in just one year. The Moonstake’s staking community can easily earn staking rewards from all the high-demand PoS coins on the market including Cosmos, IRIS, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs, and soon, IOST.

Meanwhile, IOST is an enterprise-level blockchain network developed for online service providers. It utilizes a unique, breakthrough consensus algorithm called “Proof of Believability’’ (PoB) that allows high transaction throughput speeds while all the nodes stay compliant. Recently, IOST experienced a tremendous 650% boost in market price due to its entrance into the DeFi and NFT arenas as well as getting staking support and increased staking volumes on major global exchanges such as Binance and Houbi.

With seasoned development teams and robust enterprise partnership networks across the globe, the collaboration between Moonstake and IOST promises to bring about a satisfactory staking experience for IOST holders on Moonstake Wallet.

The full integration of Moonstake wallet shall happen within May, and Moonstake will also join the IOST ecosystem as a partner node.

The demand for IOST staking has been on the rise on the market recently following the many great strategic achievements of the IOST network and we can’t wait to bring this much-requested feature to our users. Moonstake also looks forward to potential deeper collaboration opportunities in different fields of decentralized technology with the innovative experts at IOST.”

Building a More Decentralized Ecosystem with Node Partner Communities

In order for the IOST protocol to continue to grow, the cooperation and contribution of the node community to the decentralized network remain vital. Entrusting the node community with the ecosystem network development is a building block for a more decentralized IOST ecosystem. AIYAA, one of the IOST node partners, has provided the necessary resources to promote this partnership with Moonstake. The successful reach of this strategic partnership is a step forward in the obtainment of the ecosystem growth by the node community.
