This proposal stands for funding (6500$ in $STARS) PLStaking: A Soft-Staking Platform.

Introduction

The Stargaze community is at a crossroads, where the development of soft-staking platforms is hindered by inherent limitations. We propose a decentralized platform, focused exclusively on soft-staking, to empower creators and collectors in the Stargaze ecosystem. In addition, we believe that the competition we will bring will improve all platforms.

Current Challenges:

Conflicts of Interest

Issue: Projects tied to soft-staking platforms have divergent interests, causing delays. Impact: Even minor features take weeks to implement, hindering platform evolution.

Budget Limitation

Issue: Most projects lack the funds for sustained blockchain development. Impact: This leads to compromised security and code quality, impacting overall platform health.

Proposed Solution

Decentralized Soft-Staking Platform

Objective: Create a community-centric platform, dedicated to soft-staking within the Stargaze ecosystem.

Funding: Managed by a DAO, ensuring transparency and community involvement.

DAO Members: Berny borderless Cosmos Kiwis Le Thang Vic PrimusCryptus Timius DAO Link: https://daodao.zone/dao/stars1wtpm5qe7v027plfg8lad98xf02kqd03we6l2400ser5qnltplngq82ef3e/home

Purpose: Serve as a gateway for enthusiastic collectors in Stargaze, lacking resources for utility provision.

Roadmap and Plans

At PLStaking, our guiding principle is rooted in the "S" of the S.O.L.I.D Principles—specifically, the "Single Responsibility Principle." We firmly believe that decentralized applications (dApps) should serve the purpose for which they are created. Our focus lies in crafting a soft-staking platform that caters to everyone, and we are genuinely passionate about the work we're engaged in. Our commitment is clear: to excel in what we do best. We aspire to be unparalleled in the realm of soft-staking platforms. Our dedication is solely directed towards perfecting what we are currently developing—no more, no less. Our objective is to continually enhance the platform until it reaches its limits, ensuring a comprehensive experience for everyone involved. In straightforward terms: You will only encounter features directly related to soft-staking on PLStaking. Your vote for a soft-staking site is a commitment that we wholeheartedly stand by. Anything unrelated to soft-staking will not find a place within PLStaking. To preview our progress and experience what we've accomplished thus far, visit:
