According to official news from Odaily Planet Daily, Starknet plans to launch the STRK staking function in Q4, which will allow innovative business logic and use cases, enhance the practicality of STRK, and contribute to the gradual decentralization of the network. In this initial stage, neither StarkWare nor the Starknet Foundation will participate in staking, so they are not eligible for staking rewards. In addition, all locked tokens will not be able to participate in staking at that time.
