Architecture Team

• Began writing a paper exploring block creation via Proof of Stake on Loki, findings will be presented as a proposal before the community and Loki Foundation.

Loki Locker

• Loki Locker has been released in Alpha so go check it out. It’s likely that there is still some undocumented functionality with staking transactions, which we have still yet to test, so be careful. Backup your seed words and don’t use large amounts of Loki with Loki Locker just yet.

• You can reach Loki Locker at
