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 stark ecosystem, entrusted initially with critical attestation responsibilities.
Currently, staking is dominated by major entities such as Argent, Karnot, Avnu, Braavos (To be expected as they the major players). 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.
On top of that, actual price dynamics, and future needed resources to run a validator node, may only be for the most hardcore starknet users, so providing a interface for validators to generate more rewards its critical for starknet decentralization future
Our Solution: AlignedStake
AlignedStake directly addresses this urgent issue through a decentralized application (dApp) offering:
• Real-Time Analytics: Provide transparency and detailed staking insights to users, validators, and stakeholders.
• Validator Dashboards: Enable validators, especially smaller ones, to effectively showcase their performance and attract delegations.
• Random Validator Selection: Introduce fair and transparent mechanisms to distribute delegations evenly across lower-staked validators, reducing centralization risk.
• Comprehensive Stake Management Dashboard: Allow effortless monitoring of rewards, simplified unstaking processes, and seamless claims.
• Split Delegation Feature: Allow users to delegate stakes to multiple validators simultaneously, promoting decentralization and flexibility.
• Impact Metrics: Track how much your actions impact on the network
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, Starknet Aligned seeks to foster a balanced and robust blockchain environment, driving innovation and sustainability forward.
Dapp is on beta version but most of the features are already implemented and working.
