Moonstake Wallet Supports Shiden DApp Staking Natively

Moonstake is happy to deliver more good news to our Shiden users: Shiden DApp Staking is now supported natively on Moonstake Wallet. You can now earn reward from staking Shiden network's SDN token to Shiden Network DApps right via the Moonstake Wallet interface with the newly launched "DApp Store" feature for Shiden!

This is an additional option to earn from your SDN assets on top of staking with Moonstake, as you can stake with multiple Shiden DApps at once. Hold, send, receive, and stake SDN in various pools to receive rewards with the best user experience through one single click. Moonstake is proud to be amongst the world's first group of validators for Shiden Network.

Moonstake started the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake's total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Since March this year, Moonstake has also entered DeFi together with the newly launched DeFi platform, Muse.Finance, who has begun releasing its core DeFi products which are all scheduled to be integrated into Moonstake platform to enable advanced DeFi connectivity for our global users.

The Shiden Network is built using almost the same code base as Astar Network (formerly Plasm), a public blockchain originating in Japan, and connects to the Kusama Network, an experimental network that is one-tenth the scale of the Polkadot Network. Since the Kusama Relaychain does not support smart contract functionality by design, it needs a smart contract layer which is where Shiden Network comes in. On top of this, Shiden also supports various advanced blockchain applications like DeFi, NFTs and more.

Since February 2021, Moonstake has been strategic partners with Plasm, now known as Astar Network, working together to expand the Polkadot staking and DeFi ecosystems. Just recently, we integrated support for staking of Shiden Network's SDN, Astar's sister network, as the important next step of our collaboration and plan to penetrate the DeFi market. And now with the integration of Shiden DApp Staking, we are offering a robust variety of opportunities for global crypto users to earn with Shiden Network with the best user experience.

How to use Shiden DApp Staking feature on Moonstake Wallet
1. Register your Moonstake Wallet via Web or mobile (iOS / Android)
2. From "Wallets", click on "Shiden Network" then "DApp Store"
3. Find the Shiden DApp you'd like to stake in, then click "Add".
4. Enter the amount to stake then click "Continue". Enter your wallet password to confirm the stake.

Information to note about SDN staking

- The minimum staking amount is 50 SDN.
- Currently, each DApp can have a maximum of 512 nominators. You won't be able to stake with any DApp who has the number 512 in their "Stakers" section.

How to get rewards of SDN staking:

The annual reward (APY) for SDN is dependent on Shiden and its DApp Store. You can claim your SDN rewards once every ERA, which is a period of time that is approximately 24 hours. The claim needs to be done within 15 days or the unclaimed rewards go to the treasury. A claim can be made by the contract owner or any staker in the DApp. One claim will be for everyone, so it doesn't have to be you. If the DApp owner or anyone else from the staking pool press "Claim", you will also get your ERA rewards.

How SDN unstaking works:

If token holders want to send an asset that is currently staked, they will need to unstake it first. There is no lock period for unstaking SDN.

Moonstake is proud to be amongst the world's first group of validators and we're pleased to help accelerate global adoption of Shiden staking and DApps with this new integration.
