Welcome to the September edition of the Blockdaemon Bulletin.
Ethereum’s recent validator exit queue surge revealed the protocol’s impressive resilience while opening opportunities for institutional stakers. This in-depth analysis explores how withdrawal events affect network stability, staking yields, and liquidity planning and why participants who remain staked could see 10–25% higher returns during transition periods. Explore the full analysis.
As blockchain adoption grows, securing the path from user intent to on-chain transaction becomes critical. Blockdaemon explains how intent confirmation, multi-stage approvals, policy engines, and transaction validation guard against tampering and ensuring every transaction accurately reflects the user’s original intent. Discover how secure intents protect transaction integrity.
Blockdaemon has launched a new Aptos Community Validator designed to maximize returns while strengthening the APT ecosystem. For a limited time, delegators keep 100% of their staking rewards. Read the full blog.

In August, Blockdaemon maintained a premium reward rate, delivering a 2.98% Protocol Reward Rate (PRR) - topping the 2.94% average by four basis points (bps), and extending a 7 month streak of above-network performance.
Network‑wide rewards remained muted in August, yet Blockdaemon’s Solana validator continued to lead. Blockdaemon’s Solana validator posted a 7.57% PRR versus the 7.47% network average - 10 basis points of outperformance and another consecutive month above the network.
