APEX becomes Astarter MSP Associate SPO to enable Merge Staking $AA

Astarter Associate Stake Pool Operators make it possible for pool delegators to merge stake Astarter $AA tokens on top of regular ADA rewards.

We are honored to announce APEX has become an Astarter Associate Stake Pool Operator, joining our associate program to enable pool delegators to merge stake Astarter $AA tokens.

Astarter Associate SPO is one of two programs that enable Cardano Stake Pool Operators and delegators, by extension, to participate in the Astarter ISPO Merge Staking Protocol.

The criteria to become an Astarter Associate SPO is based inherently, on the trustless nature of the Cardano Ouroboros protocol. That is to say, while there is an application process and limited number of initial number of available slots the program is open for all Cardano SPOs to apply and become an Astarter Associate SPO.

Delegating to an Astarter Associate SPO enables the option for the pool delegates to Merge Stake $AA rewards on top of their regular ADA rewards.

Astarter team is very much looking forward to working with APEX to bring Merge Staking $AA rewards on top of $ADA pools rewards.

As a DeFi Infrastructure Hub on Cardano, Astarter will bridge the gap which allows DeFi builders to deploy fast, secure and interoperable decentralized applications.

Thank you for reading and please stay tuned for more updates as we roll out our ISPO and Merge Staking Protocol.
