• In the near future, the Keep Network community will be able to govern the staking pool with control over some of the key parameters.
• The staking pool is available on the Keep Network dashboard on the liquidity page, the APY is being calculated automatically.
• The APY calculated by the team, taking into account 4M of KEEPs tokens staked, is approximately 32% — Start Staking Now!
