Kicking off the #TeamStaking program with Dappnode
Teaming up with Dappnode, Obol, and Diva to start #TeamStaking at Aragon; Binance will delist and cease trading of ANT on 2024-02-20; Join us on Farcaster and hop into these channels.
What’s New
We’re kicking off an internal #TeamStaking program in partnership with our long-time friends at Dappnode. Our goal is to have all Aragon contributors staking at home by making running a node accessible and fun! We’ll be using Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) and teaming up with Obol and Diva to provide our team members with the support and education they need to succeed.
Binance will delist and cease trading of ANT on 2024-02-20. Deposits of ANT after 2024-02-21 03:00 (UTC) will not be credited to your Binance account. Withdrawals will not be supported after 2024-05-20 03:00 (UTC). Redeem your ANT for ETH here.

Kicking off the #TeamStaking program with Dappnode
It’s time for us to do our part. We’re kicking off an internal #TeamStaking program in partnership with our long-time friends at Dappnode. Our goal is to have all Aragon contributors staking at home by making running a node accessible and fun!
We’ll be using DVT and teaming up with Obol and Diva to provide our team members with the support and education they need to succeed.
We hope organizations across web3 follow suit and join us in decentralizing Ethereum, the infrastructure we rely on to build our protocol and products.
Why we’re #TeamStaking
Help secure the future of DAOs. DAOs rely on the decentralization of the underlying network they are built on. Without an unstoppable network, DAOs themselves cannot be unstoppable. Decentralization ensures that the network is censorship and capture resistant. If there is one chink in the armor, it will eventually be exploited.
Decentralize the Aragon infrastructure. Having our entire team running their own nodes builds capacity to run certain pieces of our own infrastructure—whether that be running a backend or using a long latency service to decouple vote actions from their timestamps, ensuring voter privacy.
Learn and have fun. The best way to learn how Ethereum infrastructure works is by participating in it. Team staking is also a great opportunity for team-building. Running a cluster is one way we can work together to achieve a common goal!
How #TeamStaking works and how your organization can replicate it
We hope organizations across web3 follow suit and join us in making Ethereum more resilient. Here’s how the program works:
Decrease the cost of Dappnodes for our contributors by buying in bulk and subsidizing a portion of the costs. If needed, contributors can pay back the cost over time.
Provide educational workshops and 1-on-1 support for stakers with providers such as Obol and Diva.
Use DVT technology for #TeamStaking, so that it's accessible to everyone. It also protects your contributors against single nodes failing or acting maliciously. With Obol, you can create clusters and decrease the required bond. Or you can remove the bond all together and run validators through Lido or Ether.fi to scale and diversify their operator sets. Soon, Diva will launch on mainnet and this self-bond will decrease to 1 ETH.
