In the preparation of the soft launch of Klub, many pieces of the Klub service offering are coming together and we are proud to announce the official launch of the Klub Staking product.

What is Klub Staking?

Most validators in the PoS or dPoS projects bring more value than just running a node on the given chain. Some validators build tools some bring awareness for the projects they support or even do both and compound their positions on these tokens.

At Klub we are aiming to go one step further. More than supporting an asset, we are looking at supporting an ecosystem. The Ki Chain has been built on top of the Cosmos SDK for many reasons. The main one being that the permissionless approach of IBC is in line with our vision of what Blockchain and Decentralization should be. Which is why Klub Staking is focused on bringing holistic value to the most promising chains of the Cosmos Ecosystem.

Infrastructure value

First of all Klub Staking has to rely on a top-notch technical infrastructure, for this we use our deep knowledge of Cosmos SDK to adapt and choose best the server infra for each targeted chain.

Typical configuration will be as below:

Bare metal Servers:
Xeon-E 2136–6 cores 12 vCores
32 Go DDR4 ECC 2666MHz
2x1To SSD NVMe SoftRaid

VPS Sentries:
2 cores 4vCores
8 Go DDR4 ECC 2666MHz
2x50Go SSD NVMe Soft raid

Business and ecosystem value

✅ Low commissions

Each chain that will be launched will start with the minimum commission available for the first month of operations and we will add 1% commission each month until we reach a maximum of 5% commission for the chain.

✅ Soft-slash compensation

The Klub Staking validators cover any event of soft-slashing that may occur on any secured chain. You can feel safe when you delegate with us.

✅ Bring awareness and long term holders

Through our unique product, Klub, we will enable our community of investors to discover, invest, hold and stake these assets in seamless ways through a simple but complete user experience.

As we deeply believe in each native asset of the secured chain, we will educate and transform traditional investors in believers and holders of these assets.

Klub Staking will rise as one of the numerous backbone of the Cosmos Ecosystem in terms of infrastructure and financial investment.

How much skin in the game do we have?

In addition to securing the infrastructure and onboarding the native token on the Klub App, we push our engagement even further by investing a minimum of $10,000 of the given asset, depending on how early the project is.

Klub Staking is already on OSMOSIS

The announcement of the Klub Staking feature does not come alone, as we are happy to announce that we have proposed the First Block on the Osmosis Chain yesterday at approximatively 3PM!

If you hold OSMO tokens feel free to diversify your delegations to one of the most secured with the lowest commission possible on the OSMOSIS chain.
