For a detailed explanation of MilkyWay’s architecture, please refer to the documentation.
Who are the validators that I am staking with?
MilkyWay does not operate any validators. Instead, it partners with trusted validators from Celestia's validator set. For a complete list of the current validator set, please refer to the documentation.
When staking TIA through MilkyWay, you cannot choose which validator to stake with. The staked TIA is evenly distributed among all validators. None of the validators will charge a commission of more than 10%.
Are there any costs to use MilkyWay?
Since MilkyWay operates as an on-chain protocol, interacting with the platform will incur gas fees. The cost of gas will depend on the chain's settings and demand.
In addition to gas fees, there are other costs to consider. Validators may charge a commission fee of up to 10%. MilkyWay also applies a 10% protocol fee on staking rewards.
What is $MILK?
$MILK will be the native token of the MilkyWay Protocol. $MILK holders will receive a portion of the 10% protocol fee charged on all staking rewards generated by milkTIA holders. $MILK will also be the governance token of the MilkyWay Protocol, meaning that $MILK holders will have the power to vote on changes to the protocol, such as new features, fee structure, and treasury management.
The MilkyWay Protocol is committed to being 100% governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This means that the community will have full control over the protocol and its future.
Has MilkyWay been audited?
Yes, MilkyWay's code has undergone an audit by Oak Security prior to launch. Check out the full report for details.
