PANews reported on January 27 that Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet posted on the X platform: "The second phase of STRK staking will be launched as early as the second quarter of 2025. The main goal of the first phase is to test the foundations of the staking mechanism and economic parameters. Now, it is time for validators to play an active role and evaluate their activity indicators before they officially assume consensus roles (planned in the third phase). To this end, we propose to introduce validator block proofs and may include commission increase functions."
