<p>Ok, we get it. Not everyone has the time, money and technical ability to be able to run their own network validator. Besides, there are many other greats ways to get involved with the staking ecosystem (delegating to an <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.stakingrewards.com/providers/">existing provider</a>, for one, is an excellent choice!). Nonetheless, for those of you out there that may be curious, we got you!</p>



<p>We have just added everything you need to know to get your own validator set up and running, on our website. <strong>Simply head to the POS Asset of your choice and scroll down past the Staking Providers section.</strong></p>



<p>Whether you have been thinking about it, or you’re just curious about how one would get started, go take a look at how to run your own validator!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">🤓<strong> Metric of the Week</strong></h2>



<p>The <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://beta.stakingrewards.com/assets/proof-of-stake">Staking Asset Explorer</a> is a treasure trove of data!</p>



<p>This week we’re taking a look at the <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://beta.stakingrewards.com/assets/proof-of-stake?sort=trading_volume_trend_24h&amp;timeframe=24h&amp;order=desc&amp;search=">Trading Volume Trend 24h</a>, a brand new metric you can use straight away on our Staking Asset Explorer.</p>



<p>This metric shows the change in the total trading volume of the asset over the last 24 hours, compared to the average trading volume over the last 30 days.</p>



<p>This metric can provide insights into the short-term trends and fluctuations in trading activity for the asset, as well as the overall level of market interest and liquidity.</p>



<p>A positive trend in trading volume may indicate growing demand and interest in the asset, while a negative trend may suggest declining interest or potential risks or uncertainties for the asset.</p>
