🥩 New staking milestone
The total value of NMR staked on the Erasure protocol is higher than the value staked with Augur, Melon protocol, and Dharma combined.
Founder Richard Craib explains the significance:
“The vast majority locked in Erasure is in the NMR token whereas money locked in other DeFi apps is usually in ETH or DAI-not to do with the protocol’s native token being used at all… money staked on Erasure is actually *at significant risk of being destroyed* through griefing/burning whereas money locked in other DeFi apps is usually sitting idle and at minimal risk.” — Richard Craib
