SafeStake

February has been another rewarding month for ParaState and the SafeStake community. We will look at some of the highlights in this edition of our monthly newsletter. As always, we want to first thank our community for all the support we continue to receive on all our official social channels! You are amazing!<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/3cda1c847f57483092f92ff1393ab7b0.jpg" />In the past, we have introduced you to some of SafeStake’s technical aspects. Now, our developers provide interesting insight and details about SafeStake’s unique implementation of Distributed Key Generation (DKG). In our opinion, DVT is one of the most important new developments in the Ethereum ecosystem. The tech allows a validator key to be split into a multi-signature construct (multiple key shares) and makes it possible for multiple participants to sign messages as a group. We believe SafeStake will be the first protocol in the DVT space (SSV, Obol Tech) to deploy true Distributed Key Generation (DKG) at the protocol level. <img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/49a8743741024eb3b179ed84fdff2954.jpg" />To dive deeper into a detailed analysis of how SafeStake’s DKG works, please read the full article<a href="https://medium.com/ethereum-on-steroids/safestake-the-first-protocol-to-deploy-dkg-in-dvt-segment-821f9826cda6" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> SafeStake - The First Protocol to Deploy DKG in the DVT Segment</a>.Throughout February, we focused on improving the SafeStake product and on 25 Feb, we announced the successful merge of a new iteration of source code to the Galileo public testnet. The upgrade introduces the first major use case for the STATE token ($STATE) as a payment device between validators and operators.Read more about the upgrade here: https://parastate.substack.com/p/galileo-testnet-major-upgrade?utm_source&#61;substack&amp;utm_campaign&#61;post_embed&amp;utm_medium&#61;web We also updated the content on our website to provide a better view of how SafeStake will help decentralize the Ethereum ecosystem and ETH staking with distributed validator technology (DVT). We also moved the official SafeStake website to a new URL - https://www.safestake.xyz<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/cc290b1300e04b48ae475a0c2ddb17df.jpg" />If you are interested in claiming testnet $STATE via the Twitter faucet or Discord faucet:<ul><li><a href="https://github.com/ParaState/SafeStake-Twitter-Faucet/blob/master/claim.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://github.com/ParaState/SafeStake-Twitter-Faucet/blob/master/claim.md</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/ParaState/SafeStake-Discord-faucet/blob/master/claim.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://github.com/ParaState/SafeStake-Discord-faucet/blob/master/claim.md</a></li></ul><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/53db50d54447405f89b6c3783d42d76a.jpg" />SafeStake Community Roles &amp; Rewards! <img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/467e9a1cdb084c839447987787a6d56d.jpg" />Our community roles and rewards program continues, allowing active community members to earn XP for participating in our social channels and contributing in a positive way!
