The Proof of Stake Alliance (POSA), a non-profit that counts Ava Labs, Lido Protocol, Polychain among its members, has released new guidelines for staking providers.

The organization now emphasizes clear communication, user sovereignty over staked assets, and refraining from the third-party management of  liquidity. This shift in focus moves away from their earlier guidelines, which mainly involved cautioning against providing investment advice, making reward guarantees, and employing dubious marketing.

POSA's aim with these new principles is to alleviate apprehensions from regulatory bodies about staking, highlighting that non-compliance by certain participants poses a risk to the entire industry’s trustworthiness.
