Neptune Dash Announces Launch of Cosmos Network Validator and Investment into Cosmos Atom
03 June 2019 - 11:00PM
Neptune Dash Technologies Corp. (“Neptune Dash” or the “Company”)
(TSX.V:DASH) (OTC:NPPTF) (FWB:1NW) is pleased to provide an update
to last week’s announcement regarding its intent to launch a Cosmos
Validator and add Cosmos ATOM to its portfolio of crypto assets.
Neptune Dash has launched a Cosmos Network
Validator and secured enough delegations to put it in the 47th spot
on the exclusive list of 100 network validators. The Company’s
validator currently has 315,271 ATOM delegated to it (approximately
$2.5 million CAD). Neptune Dash will earn a reward of roughly 1.5%
per year from any ATOM delegated to it. The Company’s goal is to
attract additional delegators from the $1.55 billion CAD Cosmos
Network and rapidly increase this revenue stream.
Delegators play a vital role in the Cosmos
Network. The main task of delegators is to distribute voting power
among validators, which helps decentralize Cosmos. Anyone who owns
ATOM can choose a validator to delegate their stake and will earn a
10-15% annual return in ATOM for doing so. Validators charge a fee
to delegators for their services.
In addition, Neptune Dash has purchased 33,159
ATOM at an average purchase price of $4.88 USD. These ATOM are
delegated to the Company’s validator and earn approximately 15% in
network rewards per year. The Company intends to increase its
ownership of ATOM over time through both Validator rewards and
occasional strategic purchases.
The Company’s validator can be viewed in detail

“We are very excited regarding Cosmos and how
quickly it is moving up the ranking of crypto market
capitalization. Certainly, the most strategic position for Neptune
is to run one of the top ranked, most reliable and well known
Validators in the ecosystem and the fact that we are already 47th
out of 100 shows that we are quickly moving down that path, stated
Cale Moodie, Neptune Dash CEO. We are committed to adding crypto
assets to our balance sheet through Masternodes and now through our
Validator, while keeping our operating costs as low as
possible.”
The Cosmos network was announced in 2017 and it
launched in 2019. It is a third-generation blockchain network with
significant improvements over both first-generation (e.g., Bitcoin)
and second-generation (e.g., Ethereum) networks. Cosmos is a proof
of stake network that solves fundamental challenges in both scaling
and transaction volume which have been holding back current
networks.
Governance of the Cosmos network is maintained
through 100 exclusive validators. These validators require a high
level of expertise and security to operate and they form the
backbone of the network. All block rewards and transaction fees on
the Cosmos network, from the approximately $75,000,000 USD in daily
transaction volume, are distributed among these 100 validators.
