We are really excited to be part of an open panel discussion hosted by the 4NTS Guild. Save the date: August 16th at 9am PST in the 4NTS Guild Youtube Channel.

The following key partners of the NEAR Ecosystem will be participating in the Open Discussion panel. You will have a chance to learn what OIN Finance, Ref Finance, Open Shards Alliance and NEAR Core team have to say regarding staking and collateral tokens for DeFi.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) plays an increasingly important role in the NEAR ecosystem with the adoption of classic financial operations such as borrowing, lending, and various derivative issuance, as well as instruments with stable value(stablecoins)creation which are used as collateral for most of the financial services offered by DeFi protocols.

DeFi is in the early stages in NEAR, and the overall efficiency and variety of decentralized services are low compared to other Layer 1 protocols. However, the programmable and decentralized nature of such services provides the potential for massive growth in the coming years. Which is what we will be discussing during the panel discussion.

Discuss Staking roadmap for NEAR Protocol

One of the most important themes is the upcoming updates to the staking mechanism of NEAR Protocol. Here is the documentation regarding Staking on NEAR. Will be interesting to hear what Blaze from Open Shards Alliance has to say about the economics for validators and Jane Wang from NEAR Core team will discuss what are the upcoming activities around increasing validator nodes on the NEAR Protocol.

If you want to look into the roadmap you can view it on this table.

We will discuss the benefits of liquid staking and how it will play a role in increasing decentralization of the network, plus making it easy for stakers to participate in DeFi platforms through the minting of stNEAR.

So make sure to have all the information:
