Unveiling Dual Staking for MACHs, allowing users to stake ALT alongside restaked ETH. Dual staking debuts with Xterio MACH – a fast finality AVS on eigenlayer mainnet for XterioGames.

Dual stakers will be rewarded with upcoming Xterio ecosystem rewards.

📣 A few hours ago, we reset ALT main staking pool's unstaking cooldown period to 0. This will have two key benefits:

🥩 Remove the barrier for unstaking and encourage more stakers to engage.
🔄 Allow users to swap from the main staking pool to any other MACH AVS ALT pools (e.g., Xterio MACH).

Our vision: With the launch of our MACH AVS on EigenLayer mainnet, we are now ready to start the transition of ALT staking to restaking. This transition will take a multi-phase approach.

In the first and immediate phase, we will be resetting the ALT main staking pool's unstaking cooldown period to 0. This means stakers can choose to swap from the main pool to any other MACH AVS ALT pools, e.g., Xterio ALT launchpool without waiting for the 21-day cooldown period to pass.

In the next phases, we plan to change the reward mechanism to allow stakers to earn both ALT and the launchpool rewards at the same time. The portal will also adapt to EigenLayer's upcoming reward mechanism. Stay tuned for more info on this!

Please note that all MACH AVS pools will still have a 21-day cooldown period. The 0 cooldown period only applies to the ALT main staking pool. Hence, a restaker of ALT will still need to decide which MACH AVS pool he/she wishes to pledge his/her assets to.

Restake away folks! We are eager to transition ALT into a new restaking collateral.
