Stader Labs brings liquid staking to Fantom
With liquid staking, you can unlock the value of staked FTM (sFTM). Staking is at the core of the Fantom network, securing the chain and allowing users to participate in governance. Stader Labs allows users to use sFTM to mint liquid staking tokens, which can be used across the Fantom DeFi landscape to earn additional yield. This will unlock the value of the 1.38 Billion FTM tokens currently staked on Fantom.
Besides that, you can easily delegate your stake across different validators with Stader.
New governance proposal: Reducing the minimum validator stake
In order to enable more people to run a Fantom validator node, the community proposed to reduce the required minimum self-stake.
Proposed options
- 50k FTM
- 100k FTM
- 250k FTM
The minimum self-stake is currently set to 500k FTM.

50% of the circulating FTM supply is currently staked. 57 active validators are verifying transactions on the network. Beefy Finance and PowerNodes recently launched their nodes.
Validators handle ~1,000,000 transactions per day by 80,000 daily active users, with an average block time of 0.9s.
