NuCypher Announcements

Hi everyone - here is the list of staking addresses that completed Phase 3 of Come and Stake It. These addresses successfully bid in the WorkLock, claimed their NU distribution, and refunded a portion of their escrowed ETH by running a node.

We’re considering a few tweaks to the WorkLock and will be making a final decision on Phase 4 in the coming days. Thank you for your help and participation!

CASI QUALIFIERS AND PRIZE UPDATE
We've decided to remove Ping Uptime as a qualification criteria for Phase 2 entirely. We're not fully confident that the data is reliable, especially for nodes that are geographically remote from the measurement server. This means that if you successfully completed the other Phase 2 tasks, you are fully qualified.

Given the near certainty that there will be more CASI qualifiers than the 333 winner cap, we will be increasing the NU allocation to the CASI prize pool proportional to the final number of qualifiers. Previously, 0.5% of the initial NU supply was to be distributed across CASI task-based Phase qualifiers (with another up to 0.5% distributed to Technical Contributors). Now, if there are 666 qualifiers, this amount will be increased to 1% (or proportional to whatever the final number of qualifiers is).

The participation in Come and Stake It has exceeded our expectations - thank you! 🙏

PHASE 1 QUALIFIERS
Hi everyone - here is the list of staking addresses which successfully completed Phase 1 of Come and Stake It. Congrats to the 645 addresses that qualified for Phase 2!

The actual number of participants eligible for prizes is less than 645. Many participants successfully staked multiple nodes for testing purposes, but only one address per participant will be considered for a prize.

Wait... where’s my address?!
Most likely, you didn’t fulfill one or more of the core requirements.

It’s possible, although less likely, that we made a mistake. If your node is up and running and you expected to see your address in the list, email us at appeals@nucypher.com with your staker address, worker address, and worker IP address.

Disqualifications
We disqualified a number of addresses for being clearly controlled by a single individual attempting to participate under different identities and we’ve flagged several other addresses for further investigation. Attempts to circumvent the rules of the testnet and/or KYC requirements will result in disqualification.

If you self-report this behavior before we detect it ourselves, we'll allow your primary account to remain in the incentivized testnet and we'll only disqualify your secondary accounts. Self-report to appeals@nucypher.com with Self-report in the subject line.
