What if supporting smaller validators could also mean earning better staking rewards? ⚛️

With the Nakamoto Bonus, @_atomone is experimenting with economic incentives designed to strengthen decentralization.

Let's explore how it works together! 👇

--

1️⃣ 🧩 The Proof-of-Stake dilemma

When rewards are mainly proportional to the amount staked, there is little financial incentive to choose smaller validators.

Delegations tend to flow toward the largest operators, further reinforcing centralization.

--

2️⃣ ⚙️ The Nakamoto Bonus

AtomOne v4 introduced a new reward distribution model:

🔹 A share proportional to the amount staked.
🔹 An equal bonus for every active validator.
The total reward pool remains unchanged, but its distribution is different.

📖 https://t.co/mljaod7VKz

--

3️⃣ 📊 Why smaller validators benefit

An equal bonus distributed across fewer staked ATONE tokens translates into higher rewards per token.

As delegations shift, this advantage can gradually decrease.

AtomOne v4 also standardized validator commissions at 5%, shifting competition beyond fees alone.

--

4️⃣ 🌡️ A thermostat for decentralization

In v4, the bonus coefficient was initially set at 3%.

It adjusts weekly. When the average stake held by the top third of validators is ≥3 times that of the bottom third, the incentive increases.

3% is the initial value, not a verified live figure.

--

5️⃣ 🤖 GATA enters the scene

GATA Autopilot can execute authorized redelegations based on differences in staking rewards.

It is a third-party tool, not a native AtomOne feature.

🔐 A word of caution about Authz

Understanding exactly what you are signing when granting Authz permissions is essential.

There is still a lot of confusion about what these authorizations actually allow.

6️⃣ 🛡️ A validator's perspective

As an active AtomOne validator, @IBSvalidator welcomes the introduction of incentives that support smaller operators.

This is an innovative economic model that, if proven effective, could inspire other DPoS blockchains across the Cosmos ecosystem, particularly those struggling with consensus power concentrated among their top 10 validators.

Since a validator's consensus voting power is directly tied to the amount of stake delegated to it, finding solutions that preserve the spirit of decentralization is essential.

--

7️⃣ ⚛️ Decentralization thrives where power is shared.

A sovereign network should never depend on a handful of guardians holding all the keys. 🔑

💬 Can economic incentives help strengthen decentralization?

You can automatically compound your staking rewards through @REStakeApp , allowing your rewards to generate further rewards and potentially increasing your annual percentage yield (APY).

🔁💙 RT & Like to support independent validators!

Holding and Staking $MAS: A Guide for Our Community

As of November 16, 2026, $MAS will no longer be available for trading on MEXC.

While centralized exchanges provide one way to access cryptocurrencies, they are not the only way to hold or manage your $MAS.

The Massa ecosystem allows you to hold your tokens directly in a personal wallet, maintain control over your assets and participate in the network through staking.

For anyone looking to explore these options, we've gathered a few useful video tutorials:

1. Set up your Massa wallet

Learn how to install Massa Station and create your personal wallet.

https://t.co/3mifdYeLDl

2. Stake your $MAS

Learn how to stake your tokens using the Massa Node Manager.

https://t.co/xQW958zjfd

3. Withdraw your $MAS from MEXC

For users currently holding $MAS on MEXC, here's a step-by-step guide to withdrawing your tokens.

https://t.co/J3RWbTEwaB

A note for MEXC users: MEXC has confirmed that withdrawal services will remain available for 30 days following November 16, but we ecourage you to do it as soon as possible.

We invite everyone to explore the different ways to hold, manage and participate in the Massa ecosystem.

Thank you for continuing to build with us!

[GATA HUB @GataHubZone]

Three new tools in the Nakamoto app for @_atomone, on web and phone:

- Auth Scanner, see and revoke who can act for your wallet.
- Fee Saver, many sends in one transaction at the chain's price.
- Gather, all your stake in one place.

@EspressoSys Another great milestone guys. @EspressoSys brews consistently ☕️

[Espresso ☕️ @EspressoSys]

Espresso mainnet launched two years ago today and has produced ~31.7 million blocks since.

The team has never stopped shipping improvements, cutting finality from ~10 seconds to ~400 milliseconds and increasing data throughput from 30 MB/s to 181 MB/s, enough to handle 1 million stablecoin transactions per second.

From day one, we designed Espresso as a base layer for other chains, with no VM, no smart contracts, and none of the execution overhead a monolithic chain carries. That lean design is what made those performance gains possible.

Real-time finality and that much throughput will matter more each month as AI agents start transacting at machine speed and post-quantum signatures, privacy proofs, and compliance data make transactions heavier.

Every upgrade our team has shipped in the past two years has prepared Espresso for that future reality, which is arriving faster than most chains are ready for. Thank you to everyone building with us.

Pair open standards for crosschain messaging with subsecond finality and multichain finance starts to behave like one market.

Proud to support @cosmos & @interchain_io's proposal to bring IBC to @lfdecentralized, home to open-source ledger tech used by the world’s biggest banks.

As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily disabled social login on Adena Wallet.

We have yet to receive any reports of unauthorized transactions on Gno, but we're carefully monitoring the situation.
