Research Announcing the Liquid Staking Working Group The Liquid Staking Working Group will hold bi-weekly calls starting Jan 15. The output of these calls is a research report giving a holistic overview of approaches that aim to bring liquidity to staked assets and their impact on Proof-of-Stake.
Research In Conversation with Kyle Samani: Five Key Takeaways Multicoin's mega theses (defi, web3, stateless money), exchanges and networked liquidity, as well as adoption (scaling, on-ramps, key mgmt) and the multi-chain ecosystem.
Cosmos Analyzing Stake Distribution and Diversification on the Cosmos Hub The Cosmos Hub is one of the first live Proof-of-Stake networks. This analysis highlights how stake is distributed across validators and how token holders engage with the system, particularly looking at whether stakers diversify across validators.
Research A Brief History of Proof-of-Stake How fundamental economic concepts made it into the world of digital assets and the history of Proof-of-Stake from Sunny King's Peercoin over Tendermint and Cosmos to Casper and Eth2.0 etc.
Research Decentralized Payment Processing for the Internet of Blockchains An explanation of our winning Cosmos Seoul Hackathon entry Babelfish, an auction protocol for the multi-token Cosmos fee ecosystem.
Research Pioneering the First Green Proof-of-Stake Validator Chorus One is going to offset its carbon emissions and turn into the first climate positive staking provider with help of the Regen Network. Help decide which pilot project to support as part of this effort by taking the poll linked in this post.
Research Announcing the Chorus One Podcast The Chorus One Podcast will provide an outlet that covers relevant topics and projects tangential to Chorus One on a weekly basis. This intersection involves staking, blockchain governance, interoperability, and decentralized finance in general.
Cosmos Delegation Vouchers - A Design Concept for Liquid Staking Positions A Proof-of-Stake design concept allowing for tokenized staking positions to be used in decentralized finance applications. Implemented as part of the Cosmos Hackathon Berlin by Chorus One and Sikka.
Research The Case for Incentivized Testnets An overview of the concept of testnet competitions in PoS networks. Covering what purpose they serve and why they are a useful tool to bootstrap a staking community.
Research The Internet of Blockchains: Part 3 - Network Effects & Proof of Stake The third part of the Internet of Blockchains series covering why crypto network effects might be stronger than anything we've seen before.
Research The Truth About Staking Yields This analysis explains the impact of staking on token ownership and the implications on what the network overall is paying for security comparing Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work networks.
Research The Internet of Blockchains: Part 2 - Cosmos Network Effects The second part of the "Internet of Blockchains" series. Taking a look at the Cosmos Network with a focus on network effects.
Research The Internet of Blockchains: Part 1 - Cosmos, Loom & Interoperability In this series of posts we argue in favor of interoperability between blockchains and positive sum thinking in contrast to the emerging one-chain-to-rule-them all maximalism.
Research The Chorus One Vision At Chorus One we are building a community of engaged token holders that work together to shape the future of decentralized networks. Learn about our vision and how we are going about it in this post.
Research Proof-of-Stake Ecosystem 103: Stakeholders PoS networks open up new revenue streams and business models for many parties. This post goes into the different groups of stakeholders involved from investors over exchanges to staking providers.
Research Proof-of-Stake Ecosystem 102: The End of the HODL Meme As cryptonetworks mature and move to usage, cryptoassets will be utilized in many ways. Find out how to decide whether to participate in staking as a delegator or validator.
Research Proof-of-Stake Ecosystem 101: How does PoS work? Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is still a foreign concept to many, even within the blockchain space. This post provides a basic introduction to Proof-of-Stake and the concepts of validation and delegation.
Research Classifying Staking Implementations: A Framework There is a lot of confusion around Proof-of-Stake and staking cryptoassets in general. This post introduces a framework for classifying implementations and goes into detail distinguishing between DPoS and PoS, as well as delegation in the projects Cosmos, Cardano, Ethereum and Tezos.
