How To Stake Agoric(BLD) Using Keplr Wallet - STC Capital
Agoric is a layer 1, proof-of-stake public blockchain designed to enable developers to rapidly build safe smart contracts in the most popular programming language on the planet, JavaScript.
The Agoric chain features two native tokens, BLD and RUN. BLD, the foundational token being sold in this CoinList sale, is the native staking token of the Agoric blockchain. BLD secures the network and is used for governance. RUN is a fee token used to pay for chain services (e.g., gas), implement smart contracts on-chain, and support cross-chain activity.
