1/ Important Announcement
Hey guys, we just made the difficult decision to delay the Protocol's Mainnet Launch to Wednesday, Sept. 7 in the morning (UTC time).
1/ So far, 3 Zones will be onboarded onto the protocol at launch, meaning $Atom, $Juno, and $Osmo stakers will receive a $QCK airdrop. Here’s a *quick* rundown of the QCK token.
Sprint 1 on Quicksilver's Zealy/Crew3 questboard has launched! 🚀🎉 Finish quests & earn XP to earn part of a prize pot of $1000 in QCK + more prizes🔥
Top XP earner prizes:
🥇 Top 1-5: $100/each
🥈 Top 5-10: $50/each
🥉 Top 10-20: $25/each

It's official 🥳! @StargazeZone is upgrading to enable Interchain Accounts and will be the 4th zone onboarded on Quicksilver at Launch.
Stars holders will be able to liquid stake their $STARS on the protocol and eligible $STARS holders will receive a $QCK airdrop at Genesis💫
1/ We are incredibly lucky and grateful for the support we have had from the extended Cosmos Community for many months now, and we pride ourselves on building a Liquid Staking Protocol that will not put the Cosmos in any sort of harm.
Quicksilver is 100% committed to unlocking staked capital for the IBC through liquid staking that delivers community empowerment.
We’re so committed that we built the protocol the hard way, launching it as a Cosmos SDK zone. Here’s why.
Hey Quicksilver community! There’s new faces around here… Welcome, new QCKers! 👋
Here’s a quick overview of @quicksilverzone to help you get familiar with the protocol & the opportunities it provides. 👇
Incentives topped up on the qSTARS:STARS and qATOM:ATOM pools for the @StargazeZone and @CosmosHub stakers.
qSTARS:STARS incentives are now distributed in QCK, another step in distributing QCK far and wide across the Cosmos ecosystem. 🤝
qATOM:ATOM incentives are distributed in ATOM for 16 more days. ⚛️

✅qATOM:ATOM: app.osmosis.zone/pool/944

Juno now has interchain accounts and will be one of the chains that will be live on Quicksilver from day 1️⃣. This means Juno stakers will be among the first Cosmos communities that will receive a QCK airdrop…

1/ Co-founder @vishwakat explained the importance of Quicksilver’s scalability, and how the Protocol will provide liquid staking for the entire #Cosmos ecosystem on the @Umee_crosschain Twitter Spaces earlier this week ⚛️
“The 2nd key piece of Quicksilver is decentralization… Participation rewards incentivize users to delegate to smaller, performant validators. This can help balance out validator inequities in the ecosystem and promote decentralization.” ⚛️🏗️
— Quicksilver co-founder @vishwakat
Quicksilver smoothly went live today at 13:00 UTC with 102 Genesis Validators.
We are beyond grateful to our community of validators, our partners, and the entire #Cosmos Community ⚛️
Thank you all and LFG 🚀
The qOSMO:OSMO pool is supercharged with QCK incentives🚀
Stake OSMO on Quicksilver & provide liquidity to earn autocompounded staking rewards plus swap fees & LP incentives.
Incentives begin at midnight UTC on April 19.

ATOM liquid staking is live on Quicksilver! 🥳 ⚛️
Stake ATOM and get qATOM at app.quicksilver.zone
Quicksilver offers autocompounded staking rewards. They give 24.1% APY, ~1.8% more than 22.3% from standard staking 🔥
We’re thrilled to have the @CosmosHub on Quicksilver ⚛️
Quicksilver is coming to #Cosmos soon ™️

NEW Chain for Liquid Staking: @StargazeZone is now LIVE on Quicksilver! (✨,🔭)
Now holders of $STARS can stake $STARS and receive qSTARS on app.quicksilver.zone/
Plus, $STARS stakers will be eligible for the QCK token airdrop coming early this year 🔜
Quicksilver airdropped 220,000 QCK in the first QCK airdrop of many. 🎉 This airdrop connected the @StargazeZone & Quicksilver communities 🤝
Just received QCK? Stake it to a validator to receive rewards in QCK & revenue distribution in ATOM, REGEN & STARS 😎
A proposal is live on-chain to list qATOM as collateral on @Umee_CrossChain 🤝
Adding qATOM as collateral would allow ATOM depositors on Quicksilver to borrow against or lend their qATOM holdings on Umee, all while receiving autocompounded ATOM staking rewards.
qATOM users on Umee will be able to use advanced DeFi strategies that improve their portfolio’s flexibility, including:
✅ Leveraged LP'ing: Borrowing qATOM and/or ATOM and then providing liquidity for an incentivized pool, expanding available capital to increase returns.
✅ Looping: Providing qATOM as collateral to borrow ATOM, and then minting qATOM again, increasing staking rewards while maintaining ATOM exposure.
Overall, listing qATOM would be a strong step forward for liquid staking adoption in Cosmos.

1/ We shared a few weeks ago how we decided to use delaying Mainnet as an opportunity to flesh out our Liquid Staking solution. We wanted to share more about one of the new offerings we’ve been working on, expected to go live with the Protocol 👇
Collab alert 🚨 The team at @Cosmosecosystem have added quests for Quicksilver to their #Zealy questboard. 1500 QCK prize pool to be distributed among the winners🎁
Head over to their Zealy to join: zealy.io/c/cosmosecosystem/q…
1/ Curious about the $QCK Token Inflation ?
Inflation will be set at 65% during the first year, and will then drop by 25% every year after that.
Here’s how QCK’s inflation will be distributed 👇
Atom and Juno holders will be able to Liquid Stake their assets on the protocol upon Quicksilver’s Launch.
But, there’s more…
At least one more Zone will be onboarded at Genesis. Can you guess which one?⚛️
6/ We know the community is getting impatient; we are impatient to bring you the Cosmos Liquid Staking Zone too. But we would rather be criticised for being overly cautious and putting security first than the alternative.
Thank you,
The Quicksilver team

Thank you to our validator community and the Gaia team for your collaboration 🤝
Recently, we’ve seen a big influx of new followers… Welcome new QCKers! 👋
Here are a few resources to help get you more familiarized with the protocol 👇

$JUNO version 8.0.0 is now LIVE.
The upgrade to support ICA (Inter-chain Accounts) was successful after some minor hickups.
Juno, the interoperable smart contract layer is now an inter-chain account host.
1/ Hey everyone,
After an intense week in Colombia, the team has been back to building full time. Everything is on track and we’re happy with the progress we’re making. We’re also doing out best to answer all your messages in a timely fashion -
Update on qATOM:ATOM liquidity provider incentives: rewards have now transitioned from ATOM tokens to QCK tokens 🔄
Another step towards the mission of a fair distribution of QCK throughout the Cosmos ecosystem 🤝
💧 app.osmosis.zone/pool/944
1/ Hey guys, the Quicksilver team has come across an issue with ICA on @osmosis—while Osmosis has most of ICA implemented, the module isn’t initialized, meaning it isn’t able to support Quicksilver at launch. However, the Osmosis team will be implementing this in v12.
The Quicksilver chain was halted by validators at block 115000, at 1015 UTC this morning. The chain halt is a preemptive measure to address the actions of a bad actor at Cosmos Hub onboarding. No users will experience a loss as a result of this issue.
Only 3.5% Staking Rewards fees will be collected on the Staking Rewards earned on assets liquid staked through Quicksilver.
The twist? It will all be redistributed to QCK stakers 👇
Because Quicksilver will distribute Staking Rewards Fees collected on the Protocol among QCK stakers epochly, QCK holders that stake their $QCK will earn $Atom, $Juno, and $Osmo 🚀
Find out more about the token that will enable stakers to earn #Cosmos assets ⚛️👇
1/ So far, 3 Zones will be onboarded onto the protocol at launch, meaning $Atom, $Juno, and $Osmo stakers will receive a $QCK airdrop. Here’s a *quick* rundown of the QCK token.
1/ Quicksilver will be able to scale seamlessly to any IBC-connected Zones⚛️
At genesis, the protocol will launch supporting the @cosmoshub, @JunoNetwork, and @osmosis.
Then what?
The Quicksilver community will decide when and where the protocol grows🚀
5/ While 5% of airdropped $QCK will be claimable instantly, to unlock the full amount, users will need to:
1️⃣ Stake QCK tokens to unlock 10% of the Airdrop
2️⃣ Signal intent on the Protocol to unlock 5% of the Airdrop
4/ Will airdrops be claimable instantly?
Quicksilver’s airdrops will be gamified, and recipients will need to complete tasks in order to claim their full airdrop allocation.
🌕 Attention $QCK Stakers! We are heading to the Moon🌕
Proposal 56 is live! 🗳️ This proposal aims to onboard @terra_money (phoenix-1) as a new host zone on Quicksilver, unlocking liquid staking for $LUNA holders, bringing $qLUNA on the scene, and expanding the protocol's reach. 🚀
