Hi, please find all the details related to phase 3 here [1]. Read also the comments, are very useful. Both delegation and validator list will remain up and running for tech purpose, but will not be any longer incentivized. The delegation mechanism will remain in place - if you're in the delegation waiting list you have chances to be swiped out to the active delegation (is someone exits) or you can delegate to a SP (Staking Provider) agency. Best regards, Marius [1]

Hi, Please use next steps: 1 Install ledger live on Desktop 2 connect Ledger at desktop and to ledger live app (desktop) 3 from ledger live make update at the firmware, then install the egld app from manager 4 connect to wallet.elrond.com with ledger option and then from ledger go to elrond app and at settings need to activate “contract data” enable 5 just make transactions/staking Also this tutorial can be very helpful https://thepalmtree.network/main-blog/restore-your-elrond-wallet-on-ledger Best regards, Marius

The exact date will be announced with 14 days before happening. But don't worry, the unstake period from waiting list is instant (10 days unbound period is needed only for the active delegation).

Yes, technically speaking is very possible that after a period (impossible to predict) to join the active delegation. However, the SPs APR should be better than Elrond Foundation APR to stimulate the external delegation usage and speed up the decentralization. Best regards, Marius

Hi Massimo, The delegation waiting list will remain up and running, but not rewarded anymore. So if you want to participate in the staking and receive daily rewards, starting with phase 3 need to unstake from the delegation waiting list and delegate to a SP agency. Best regards, Marius

Need to wait a bit. In the next releases will be possible to "delete" an account and bind a new wallet to your phone number.

1. Yes. 2. Final of Q1 2021 - beginning of Q2 2021. For all at the same time, not depending by country/location.

Yes, I confirm that Elrond is using ED25519 and SHA256.

Hi, You can initiate the unstake period at any time, but the waiting time for the unbound operation remains as for now set at 10 days (this is needed to keep the security protocol reliable). Best regards, Marius

1. The eGLD delegated are not staying in the SC SP wallet, but going in the protocol used for increasing security. Yes, will be a list of all SPs. Even more, the Delegation Manager SC code is audited and open source. The SP is not the owner of your funds and you don't share your private keys with it. You can initiate the unstake operation at any time. 2. Technically is possible to have this "handshake" in place from 2 SCs but doesn't change something from security point of view. Is enough to pay attention at the official SPs web sites. If you're in the active delegation, starting with phase

You also need to have the right tech skills to deploy/customize a new Delegation Manager SC, deploy the site, manage the nodes (Linux skills mostly) and of course to convince people you're a trustworthy SP agency. Some important resources: Dapp boilerplate for Delegation [1] - basically you have already a web client implementation made by the Elrond team (just need to customize it as you want) Delegation System Smart Contract [2] - the Delegation Manager SC video materials from TrustStaking @Trust Staking [3][4] explaining the Delegation Manager deployment and

In my opinion there are 2 situations: 1. Any validator or a staking agency can top-up their nodes from different reasons (small amount -> and cannot start a new node or just don't want to delegate to another validator/node for a better APR - the diff is too small). 2. Imagine that all the 3200 nodes/slots will be full filled by validators/staking agencies. If (new) delegators want to delegate need to put those eGLD to top-up - there is no other way. So starting with phase 3, the max amount of eGLD staked/delegated can be up to 3200nodes*5000egld/per_node = 16 millions eGLD.

Yes, you can unstake anytime. You need to follow up the specifics with the staking agency (duration period, min stake size etc).

Hi Alexandru, The DelegationManager SC was verified and strongly tested by the team Elrond team. As you maybe already know, they use also formal verification on those for the safety part. Most of the staking agencies were very active on our Elrond Validators Telegram group, very technical guys and good professionals. Basically 2 things can happen: 1. If the staking agency will not maintain properly the nodes (shut down, doesn't upgrade etc): these will get jailed and stop earning rewards. Everyone on those nodes stops earning rewards. 2. If the staking agency will use the nodes t

I'm not part of the team, but just my humble opinion. Need to recap a bit the history to understand the present. This blockchain has less than 7 months from the mainnet and is already in top 20 - 25 by marketcap. Inevitably the node price increased a lot. From technical perspective the project is rock solid (and this is reflected in the eGLD price as well), the validators community is also very strong, the same team with long term vision. You cannot change the rules during the game and need to let some time to digest the new economic environment and the current validators expectations. Gr
