#ALEO# AR Protocol effective

Starting today, miners must stake ALEO tokens to continue mining; otherwise, they will not receive rewards, marking the official launch of the PoS+PoW hybrid mechanism.

Staking requirement: Approximately 4.8 ALEO needs to be staked for every 1MH/s of computing power (the exact value is adjusted based on network dynamics).

Mining Pool Response Strategy
ZK Pool: Fully covers the miners' staked tokens, users do not need to provide their own.
Elephant Pool: In August, it will take on all staking demands, gradually transitioning to miners' self-staking starting in September.
Fish pool: No substantial support provided, miners need to independently choose to stake or exit.

Recent trends in cryptocurrency prices
In July, the coin price repeatedly tested the 120-day moving average (0.3 USD). If it holds, it may trigger a rebound. Aleo is currently at a critical turning point: new staking mining regulations may boost the coin price in the short term, but long-term value depends on the realization of technological upgrades (such as the implementation of ZK-SNARKs) and breakthroughs in ecological applications (such as results from collaborations with Google). Miners need to weigh the costs and benefits of staking, and investors should closely monitor technological progress in Q3 and signals of market liquidity repair.
