- SingularityNET (AGIX) has announced the time frame for the beta testing launch of the Cardano staking portal.
- AGIX has gained significant value since 2023’s explosion of AI technologies.
- The Cardano staking portal is set to give AGIX holders a staking alternative.
SingularityNET’s blockchain-built AI services marketplace has garnered the crypto community’s attention, with its native token AGIX recording a major increase amidst the 2023 AI craze.
On February 23rd, 2023, SingularityNET has announced that its Cardano (ADA) staking portal will go live for beta testing in March. Thereafter, the portal is scheduled to launch on the mainnet in the first quarter of 2023, subject to successful testing and auditing programs.
The Cardano staking portal is expected to give AGIX token holders an alternative option of staking their tokens on the Cardano network, as opposed to only on the Ethereum (ETH) network, which is currently the only option for AGIX holders.
ADA Staking: A Game Changer?
The new staking portal initiative by SingularityNET resumes the Cardano versus Ethereum saga, wherein the nuanced staking mechanisms of the two networks have recently been placed in the same boat amidst government regulation discussions on cryptocurrency staking in the United States.
Cardano’s liquid staking mechanism allows stakers to withdraw their assets at any time with increased flexibility and convenience, and a minimum deposit of 2 ADA is required to participate in staking.
Ethereum staking, on the other hand, does not enable stakers to withdraw any assets after staking and requires a hefty 32 ETH (approximately $51, 433 USD at the time of writing) minimum deposit to participate in staking.
As part of improving cross-chain interoperability, SingularityNET already launched an AGIX ETH-ADA converter bridge in April 2022, allowing users to convert assets between the Ethereum and Cardano networks.
The price of ADA and AGIX have recorded contrasting reactions in light of the Cardano staking portal announcement.
