Glad to have you with us, Josh! 🍷🍁
Figment Co-Founder @lorientree joined other industry leaders at @consensus2025 to discuss protocol staking in relation to other reward mechanisms.
Hear Lorien’s insights on the "The Quest for Yield: From Staking to Lending" panel👇
Some compelling research on the topic of onchain points, incentives, quests and blockchain loyalty programs published by a close friend and former colleague, @JosephALChami.
Congratulations on publishing, Joseph! 👏
In early 2024, a new blockchain launched their quest system.
1.2M users showed up. 80M quests were completed.
It looked successful...
Until 93.5% of users vanished after the airdrop with a negative retention rate: -0.183%
But after adding token rewards, RR rose slightly to 0.59% (still very low).
What’s behind this user behaviour?
Our research paper, accepted at FC workshop, is the first to deeply analyze onchain quests and loyalty, aiming to answer exactly that.

Purchasing cover is worthwhile, even with Figment being a best-in-class staking provider with a SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified control environment.
Affordable coverage is an effective way to stay protected!🛡️
Purchasing slashing cover is a risk management best practice for a staker to further reduce loss associated with a double-sign event, should one ever occur.
We are thrilled to announce a collaboration with @InsurAce_io to offer Ethereum Slashing Cover, a product designed to protect customers from validator double sign slashing risks. 🤝
By offering access to Ethereum Slashing Cover, we aim to strengthen stakers confidence and drive further adoption of $ETH staking. ⚙️

With optionality on our minds, @Figment_io has collaborated with @InsurAce_io to offer Figment's $ETH customers access to more double-sign slashing coverage.
With InsurAce's offering, stakers can purchase 1 to 32 ETH of cover per validator, giving customers more flexibility.
Over the 5 years I've volunteered for this camp, I've seen first-hand how impactful an experience like this can be for these children.

This past weekend, I volunteered for a bereavement camp for children who recently lost a loved one.
The unfortunate reality is that there are ample resources for adults who a grieving from loss, but far fewer for children.
If you know of a child that recently lost a loved one, I encourage you to suggest to their guardian(s) to look for similar resources in their local communities.
