The Challenge
Starknet is positioned at the forefront of blockchain innovation as a leading Layer 2 solution, undergoing significant changes with native staking now live and a shift towards Proof-of-Stake (POS) imminent. Validators are becoming more important in the Starknet ecosystem, entrusted initially with critical attestation responsibilities.
Currently, staking is dominated by major entities such as Argent, Karnot, Avnu, and Braavos. This concentration has led to a concerning imbalance, with the top 10 validators controlling approximately 91% of the total staked tokens—nearly 80 times more than the average validator.
This imbalance poses critical risks, threatening the decentralization, security, and long-term sustainability of Starknet. Additionally, current price dynamics and future resource requirements to run a validator node may limit participation to only the most dedicated Starknet users, making it crucial to provide interfaces for validators to generate more rewards for Starknet's decentralized future.
Our Solution: AlignedStake
Provide transparency and detailed staking insights to users, validators, and stakeholders.
Enable validators, especially smaller ones, to effectively showcase their performance and attract delegations.
Introduce fair and transparent mechanisms to distribute delegations evenly across lower-staked validators, reducing centralization risk.
Allow effortless monitoring of rewards, simplified unstaking processes, and seamless claims.
Allow users to delegate stakes to multiple validators simultaneously, promoting decentralization and flexibility.
Track how much your actions impact the network decentralization and overall health.
Our Vision
We believe decentralization is fundamental to Starknet's long-term success. Our mission extends beyond simple stake redistribution—we aim to build a healthier, more resilient, and equitable ecosystem by leveling the playing field for all validators.
By ensuring fair opportunities, increasing transparency, and empowering users, AlignedStake seeks to foster a balanced and robust blockchain environment, driving innovation and sustainability forward.
Join Our Mission
Help us create a more decentralized Starknet by using AlignedStake to delegate your STRK tokens to smaller validators, track your impact, and spread awareness about the importance of decentralization in blockchain networks.
