In the past few months, we’ve embarked on an exhilarating journey, focusing on testing, scaling, and introducing new features to enhance SubQuery’s Kepler Network. This dedicated effort has strengthened Kepler’s capabilities, marking significant milestones. We’re grateful to our community and stakeholders for their invaluable support. Join us in celebrating these achievements and anticipating a future filled with optimism and promising developments.
Curious about Kepler’s performance?
These are the Kepler network stats in the most recent update:
- Cumulative rewards distributed: 2.67 million kSQT to Indexers and delegators.
- Current network stake: 4.05 million kSQT.
- Total staked percentage: 62.85% (of the 6.44 million kSQT supply).
- Present delegation: 1.34 million kSQT, highlighting strong engagement and support.
Opening the Next Chapter:
We’re thrilled to announce that Kepler is ready to embark on its next phase. While previously accessible exclusively to invited indexers and specially designated ambassadors serving as Delegators, we’re now expanding access to everyone!
A Refresh on Kepler
The Kepler Network, which served as the pre-mainnet for the decentralized SubQuery Network, was successfully launched on Polygon, Ethereum’s Layer-2 scaling solution. Kepler was designed to bootstrap the SubQuery network and progressively decentralize real-world SubQuery project traffic.
In tandem with the Kepler launch, the kSQT token was introduced. This token mimics the properties of the eventual SubQuery Network token (SQT) in that tokens will be rewarded to Indexers for performing tasks and Delegators can allocate their tokens to indexers to secure the network and receive rewards. Kepler is designed to enable participants to provide value to real projects which are migrated from SubQuery’s managed service to the decentralised offering and receive incentives via the Kepler token (kSQT).
Please note that when the SubQuery Network is up and running, Kepler will be retired, and any kSQT can be burned in exchange for SQT.
