What's the snapshot for? Threshold network's primary reward mechanism and surrounding architecture.

What do I do? Signal your approval early and help formalize this crucial component of the protocol!

Full proposal and discussion:
https://forum.threshold.network/t/threshold-network-reward-mechanisms-proposal-i-stable-yield-for-non-institutional-staker-welfare/82

Likely parameters at network genesis:
(1) Maximum overall annual nominal inflation of 10%, split across all applications
(2) Stable Yield staking rate threshold of 30% (above which the Stable Yields mechanism kicks in)
(3) Stable Yield anti-dilution constant of 0.5 (only relevant if the staking rate < 30%)

Two options in this proposal:
1. Yes, I support the StableYield+ reward mechanism
2. No, I don't support the StableYield+ reward mechanism

2021-10-16 00:18:07 Welcome again to everyone who is a new fren in the community

There will be a hang out for the rest of the night in The Hangout voice channel in the Threshold discord: https://discord.gg/HtMXncwavz

Stop by to say hey if you have any questions about Threshold, NuCypher, Keep, tBTCv2, or next steps for the decentralized protocol merge, what is happening in the community and how to get involved. Open / Comment

2021-10-15 22:18:26 gm everyone! New faces, welcome.

First things first: NuCypher and Keep are in the final stages of the first-ever crypto merge into Threshold Network. You can read media coverage here (the codename for the merge was KEaNU): https://decrypt.co/73800/forget-hard-fork-what-happens-after-kee-nucypher-hard-merge

Threshold Network provides a suite of threshold crypto primitives from both NuCypher and Keep (proxy re-encryption, threshold signatures, distributed key generation, the random beacon, and more).

For an update on the timing and current status of the merge, check out this post from community members @MrsNuBooty#0350 and @maximo3453#9821: https://medium.com/@mrsnubooty.bringkeep2me/if-someone-was-to-keep-a-tally-of-the-top-questions-amongst-the-keep-and-nucypher-communities-it-97fcf17d91e4

Be sure to join the Threshold discord: https://discord.gg/HtMXncwavz

For the latest development updates regarding proxy re-encryption, see: https://blog.nucypher.com/developer-update-october-2021/

The first marquee application that will launch on the Threshold Network is tBTCv2, the first and only decentralized, permissionless wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum. One of the community's goals is to make tBTC the premier way to use BTC in the DeFi ecosystem. Learn all about it here: https://blog.nucypher.com/an-intro-to-tbtc-for-nucyperinos/

The community is already building out DeFi integrations for tBTCv2. If you're interested in learning more, we have an AMA with mStable, an ecosystem partner later today: https://discord.com/channels/866378471868727316/870384195636199455/898574883305451540

We also have a brand new (officially pre-launch, so this is alpha:eyes: ) subreddit for Threshold: https://www.reddit.com/r/thresholdnetwork
