Coqnet Validator Staking v2: The Next Evolution
Climax Phase — Completed
The Coqnet Climax Program has successfully concluded, marking a major milestone for the network. Over 1,200 validator nodes were spun up—stress testing Avalanche’s underlying consensus, Warp Messaging, and subnet scalability to their operational limits.
This unprecedented load provided invaluable data:
Exposed edge cases in AvalancheGo under high validator churn
Allowed real-world testing and refinement of Warp Messaging
Helped validate assumptions about latency, uptime, and economic resilience
The results: performance improvements, hardened messaging infrastructure, and a battle-tested validator cohort.
Long-Term Validator Program
With Climax concluded, Coqnet now enters its next phase—a long-term validator program that forms the second pillar of the comeback for $COQ.
This phase lays the foundation for a persistent validator set, chosen based on commitment, performance, and economic bonding. These validators will secure the network in anticipation of the launch of Dremes—the first COQ-native protocol, marking the transition of $COQ from meme to mechanism.

Rewards are expected to grow over time, but are currently fully subsidized to bootstrap decentralized infrastructure and prepare the network for native utility.
Where We Stand
Coqnet is now entering its operational era. The validator set is forming. The infrastructure is in place. Dremes is coming.
The second pillar has fallen. The comeback has begun.
