Delegated GNO token staking

What is Gnosis Delegated Staking?

Delegated Staking is working towards Ankr Network 2.0 that brings together our ecosystem of developers, node providers (Node Pros), and stakers (Ankr Bankrs) in a way that will offer everyone involved with Ankr a more rewarding experience. With ANKR staking is at the core, driving Delegated Staking to success, we're teaming up with more platforms.

We are excited to announce that we're teaming up with Gnosis in launching a new staking product that is completely trustless and non-custodial. Gnosis staking allows you to stake your GNO, making more profit from your assets. Thanks to the implemented Node Providers technology, you'll be able to choose between Ankr-owned node providers various Node Providers supporting Ankr Network 2.0.

This is a perfect opportunity for Gnosis fans and crypto-enthusiasts in general to take charge of their crypto assets and make them work.

What is GNO and why is GNO staking needed?

GNO is the native coin of the Gnosis ecosystem and represents the right to vote on governance proposals for Gnosis Protocol. Gnosis Protocol is a trading protocol for ERC-20 tokens. It is an infrastructure for open finance and aims to bring it to the "long tail", making ordinary people capable of benefiting from it.

From a users' perspective, a full trading cycle on Gnosis Protocol consists of three user actions: deposit, order, and withdrawal. GNO staking gives you the opportunity of staking with Ankr bringing you better APY for your GNO. As Ankr Network 2.0 expands, you'll be able to choose between different APYs different Node Providers will offer.

Security of your stake

Delegated staking with independent Node Providers calls for increased security. This is where we're introducing insurance pool. Independent Node Providers can make a pool that protects your stake from slashing. The protection level is dynamically calculated by the ratio of the total amount of all delegated stakes to the size of the insurance pool. The bigger is the pool, the more assurance you have your stake is safe with the provider. We're showing you the protection level dynamically when you try to stake with the provider.

What is next with Delegated Staking?

As Ankr continues to release more and more infrastructure solutions powered by Ankr Network, we will have a growing need for Ankr Bankrs to help secure the system. And as Web3 grows and we add an ever-increasing number of chains to the protocol, Ankr will match the pace of Web3 adoption.
