The Currency of The Internet- COTI blockchain, July 27th, announced the addition of a new community staking node which will commence operation on August 1st, 2020. This is the Lars Node which will make the sixth community node launched on the blockchain making the staking volume 50million COTI. The operator of the new community node, Lars, is a known personality to COTI from the test net days giving feedback to the team on almost all phases.

On the new development, Lars said:

“I’m really looking forward to supporting the network by running a node and to help increase the scalability and security of the COTI DAG.”

The COTI staking program has, in its design, included the ability for every interested community member to join in the security of the blockchain through delegated staking. Community members can stake as low as 15000 COTI to enjoy rewards on a frequent basis.
