VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Spirit Blockchain Capital Inc. (the “Company” or “Spirit”), a Canadian company that offers shareholders diversified exposure to the Blockchain and crypto industry, is pleased to announce that it has made an investment in AVAX and has set up its own validator node to help secure the Avalanche network.
Avalanche is one of the world’s most decentralized high-performance blockchains and continues to experience rapid growth. The Avalanche network is a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) smart contract platform that is focused on scalability and offers fast transaction finality. The innovative Layer 1 protocol is one of the leading Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains. The protocol’s unique consensus mechanism requires validators and subnets to stake AVAX – the blockchain’s native token.
AVAX locked-in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications have continued to increase, highlighting the growth and resilience of the Avalanche ecosystem despite the recent drop in crypto asset prices. In the second quarter of 2022, the network has also seen an uptrend in validator count and delegation, healthy developer activity as well and the successful launch of a highly anticipated gaming subnet, to name but a few positive trends.
By becoming an active validator of the Avalanche network, SPIRIT plans to be a long-term supporter of the blockchain, contribute to decentralization, and participate in protocol governance. In return for staking its AVAX tokens, SPIRIT will receive annual rewards of roughly 9%. Furthermore, 3rd parties are able to delegate their AVAX tokens to the SPIRIT validator node, for which SPIRIT earns a commission.
