After nearly 4 years, I've decided to resign and move on from my role at the Algorand foundation. I'm super grateful for the experience and look forward to my next chapter.

I'll remain part of the community and will be cheering for the success of the Algorand network.

@0xC01n Valar UI hasn't yet been adjusted for PQ accounts as full migration to PQ isn't yet recommended.
You can interact with smart contracts directly via Lora to adjust txn fees for PQ or use non-PQ account for smart contracts but with the PQ account as beneficiary (see expert mode).

📢 FUNC v5 adds support for Valar 🚀

#Algorand node runners using Funk's Ultimate Node Controller #FUNC can now automatically run Valar Daemon, making it easier to advertise their nodes to $ALGO stakers via #Valar

Credit to Andrew Funk for the integration 🙌

@AlgoNumbers Thanks, glad you like it!

Hope it helps $ALGO stakers make informed decisions about where to stake to further increase #decentralization of #Algorand

[Valar @ValarStaking]

🔥 Valar UI v0.4.2 is also live with updated node runner docs for FUNC users and a fix for an #xGov integration edge case where the representation did not get set correctly for users who had used representation in the past but lost xGov status or mistakenly changed representation
