The vote, set to take place in September, would introduce a staking mechanism to the network, designed to further decentralize and improve network functionalities.

The upcoming vote will focus on introducing two aspects of the staking mechanism on Starknet. 


The first will be the minted mechanism, which will dictate new token creation and distribution within the Starknet ecosystem and become central to incentivizing validator and delegator participation.


The second aspect concerns the protocol for parameter adjustment of the minting mechanism, allowing for modification of minting over time to ensure balance and sustainability.

The voting process is structured to give STRK holders enough time to make informed decisions through a test voting process.


The test vote period is scheduled to start on Sept. 2 and run until Sept. 4, providing all participants with time to familiarize themselves with the process on testnet.


The main vote would follow this testing phase, which runs from Sept. 9–13. This would give STRK holders a five-day window for the official staking vote.

On July 10, at EthCC, StarWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson announced the firm’s plans to introduce staking by the end of 2024 through a Starknet improvement proposal (SNIP).


With community approval of the SNIP, Starknet staking is expected to be launched in October, per the latest development today, Aug. 20.


Ben-Sasson explained to Cointelegraph on July 10 that stakers will “gradually receive more responsibilities,” and corresponding rewards will be based upon the performance of these responsibilities.
