// 01 — About Agoric

What is Agoric?

Agoric (BLD) is a Cosmos-SDK chain built around hardened JavaScript smart contracts. The chain’s thesis: bring a familiar developer environment (JavaScript with safety primitives) to high-value smart contract use cases. Mainnet launched in late 2021.

BLD holders stake to secure the chain. Active set is currently mid-sized. APR is 13-14%, in the mature-chain range.

// 02 — Why stake with 01node

Receipts, not promises.

01

Long-term Agoric operator

Validating Agoric since early mainnet onboarding.

02

Horcrux threshold signing

Standard Cosmos architecture.

03

5% commission

Competitive across the operator set.

04

Threshold-signed Cosmos

Runs on the same Horcrux + HSM signing stack as our broader Cosmos footprint.

// 03 — How to stake

Four steps, two minutes.

  1. 01

    Open Keplr (or Leap, Cosmostation)

    Agoric is supported natively.

  2. 02

    Click "Stake"

    Deep-links to Keplr with our validator pre-selected.

  3. 03

    Confirm BLD amount and sign

    21-day unbonding period.

  4. 04

    Rewards accrue per block

    Claim or restake any time.

// 04 — Risks & trade-offs

What you should know.

  • Unbonding lock (21 days)

    Standard Cosmos.

  • Standard slashing

    5% double-sign, zero events on our infrastructure.

  • JavaScript smart contract ecosystem risk

    Agoric’s thesis (JavaScript contracts) is differentiated; ecosystem adoption is the variable.

// 05 — Frequently asked

Agoric staking FAQ.

What is Agoric?expand_more

A Cosmos-SDK chain that runs hardened JavaScript smart contracts (Hardened JS / SES). Aimed at developers familiar with JavaScript who want a more accessible smart-contract environment than Solidity or Move.

What is BLD's unbonding period?expand_more

21 days, standard Cosmos.

What's 01node's commission?expand_more

5%, verifiable in wallet.

Can I run a contract on Agoric without learning Solidity or Rust?expand_more

Yes — that's Agoric's core thesis. Hardened JavaScript with object-capability safety patterns.

Does staking BLD generate other tokens via the Agoric stack?expand_more

BLD staking earns BLD inflation rewards. Agoric also has a separate token (IST, the chain’s stablecoin) but staking BLD does not directly earn IST.

How active is Agoric governance?expand_more

Active periodic governance around protocol parameters and ecosystem grants. We vote on every proposal.

Why a Validator Is Not a Server

Five years ago a validator was a server. Today it is a cluster of signers, and the math is the entire reason solo operators still slash themselves. A focused walk-through of the 2/3 signing architecture, the slashing-protection check that runs before every block, and the key-sharding property that makes a single compromised node useless.
