Agoric (BLD), a Proof-of-Stake blockchain launched in 2021 within the Cosmos ecosystem, aims to simplify Web3 development for JavaScript programmers. It offers a smart contract platform where developers can build decentralized applications using familiar JavaScript and a library of reusable DeFi components. Agoric leverages Tendermint Proof-of-Stake for security and focuses on "Orchestration," allowing developers to create seamless, multi-chain applications that interact across various blockchain networks.
By staking to an FCS node, you agree to the Finoa Consensus Services Terms and Conditions.
Staking on Agoric means delegating BLD to validators that run the JavaScript-smart-contract platform. Delegators receive rewards from inflation and transaction fees.
Staking earns additional BLD and helps secure Agoric’s smart-contract chain; risks include slashing for validator misbehaviour and BLD price fluctuations.
Undelegated BLD stays locked and doesn't generate rewards for 21 days before becoming transferable.
Rewards generated every block from inflation and fees accumulate until claimed, after which you can re-stake them to compound.
