The proclamation focused heavily on how users can stake their FLOW tokens through custody providers such as Kraken and Coinlist, as well equally consul their tokens to currently-existing node operators. Those who wish to operate their own node might face a lengthy reviewal process, nonetheless: the annunciation notes that at that place is a long waiting list that will be "processed on a rolling basis."

Upstart wallet provider Blocto volition too be offering admission, as well as a cross-chain USDT stablecoin transfer machinery.

"Menstruation Port lets anyone create and manage non-custodial Flow accounts with any number of providers, starting with Ledger hardware wallets and Blocto software wallets," he said. "Customs stakeholders can use Port to manage their Menstruum tokens directly, staking to run nodes or delegating to one of the 300 existing nodes that will be up and running by the time staking starts – including nodes run by major partners like Samsung, Ubisoft, and T-Systems."

The launch of the layer-one chain has been hotly anticipated past many, and Dapper has been preparing for months on multiple fronts.
