Community Pool Staking Program Round II Now Live

On December 31st, ARPA launched the Community Pool Staking Program Round II, following the resounding success of our initial 6-month program that began in late June 2023. A heartfelt thanks goes out to our community for your steadfast support during Round I. We warmly invite you to join us in the next phase of ARPA’s ecosystem expansion.

The ARPA Network Community Pool Staking Program is an initiative designed to reward our early supporters. It’s a great opportunity for those interested in contributing to our network’s growth while earning passive income. The program is tailored for participants who prefer not to run a node. Through our user-friendly staking portal, ARPA token holders can easily stake their tokens. This not only contributes to the network’s robustness but also allows stakers to earn an attractive yield. We encourage both new and returning participants to take advantage of this opportunity to be a part of ARPA’s exciting journey ahead.

ARPA Network (ARPA) is a decentralized secure computation network built to improve the fairness, security, and privacy of blockchains. ARPA threshold BLS signature network serves as the infrastructure of verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), secure wallet, cross-chain bridge, and decentralized custody across multiple blockchains.

ARPA was previously known as ARPA Chain, a privacy-preserving Multi-party Computation (MPC) network founded in 2018. ARPA Mainnet has completed over 224,000 computation tasks in the past years. Our experience in MPC and other cryptography laid the foundation for our innovative threshold BLS signature schemes (TSS-BLS) system design and led us to today’s ARPA Network.

Randcast, a verifiable Random Number Generator (RNG), is the first application that leverages ARPA as infrastructure. Randcast offers a cryptographically generated random source with superior security and low cost compared to other solutions. Metaverse, game, lottery, NFT minting and whitelisting, key generation, and blockchain validator task distribution can benefit from Randcast’s tamper-proof randomness.
