The Qtum Offline Staking Stake-A-Thon returns with a new round of prizes. You can learn more about Stake-A-Thon and sign up to win prizes at https://stake-a-thon.qtum.org

The Stake-A-Thon is back with three months of prizes including more prizes for smaller wallets. The Stake-A-Thon will run from April 1 to July 1, 2021, and any super stakers registered previously are automatically entered, as are any address delegations.

The Stake-A-Thon will run for three months, including the reduced block spacing hard fork with Qtum Core version 0.20.2 on April 30, and super stakers must update for this mandatory hard fork which will not affect their eligibility since Stake-A-Thon timing is based on the cumulative operation.

Good luck in the Stake-A-Thon!
