Filing for first SEI ETF with staking

Proof-of-Governance (PoG) as the Endgame for LSTs

Proposal to remove staking from Celestia and replace it with PoG.

This would:

  • Lower inflation by 20x (5% to 0.25%) without affecting security

  • Seamlessly integrate with LSTs (native token = LST)

  • Allow TIA to be used in Celestia native DeFi more easily

  • Value accrual for $TIA via REV and fees

Check out the forum discussions.

Defying the FUD

  • You need thick skin and eat gravel to survive in crypto

  • All tokens have their -95% drawdown at some point

  • Celestia has a $100+ million war chest => 6+ year runway

  • Team of ~50 people is fully committed, playing the long game
