Yesterday I got an email from the ICX team regarding staking has been activated and after many days of waiting now they activated the staking which holders will get a 25.68% reward rate and this reward will decrease as the percentage of Network voted increases. Another good news is Karken will list ICON coin.
Staking was activated on 26 Augest. Not now. And this such big reward rate it temporal. They got 3kk ICON from the fund for reward. After the end of the prevoting period about 24 September the reward will be decreased.
"The Foundation has decided to extend the testing period as core developers of the ICON Project continue to test software in a variety of ways to reach higher levels of stabilization. As you know, it is essential to release stabilized software so that P-Reps can operate the ICON Network after the decentralization process.
As a result, the decentralization schedule of the ICON Network has been changed from September 24, 2019 to October 29, 2019.
Original schedule: Start at 05:00 UTC on the 24th of September 2019
Updated schedule: Start at 05:00 UTC on the 29th of October 20192. Extension of Pre-Voting Period
The Pre-Voting period for the ICON Network will also extend to UTC 05:00 on October 29th, 2019. ICON Foundation will continue to give out the necessary ICX for the delegation rewards during this extended period.
