Chainlink announced via X on Friday that the Chainlink Staking v0.2 community pool has officially filled, with over 19M additional LINK staked in under 7 hours since Early Access opened.
The team added that once General Access launches on December 11, anyone will be able to participate in Staking v0.2 whenever an existing staker completes a withdrawal of their staked LINK and pool space becomes available.
With the launch of Staking v0.2, the capped 45,000,000 LINK pool will consist of a 40,875,000 LINK allotment for community members, with the remainder allocated to Chainlink node operators currently servicing Chainlink Data Feeds.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof inputs and outputs of data for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is up by 2% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $15.993 at press time.
