Stronk Orchestrator Surges Past 800k LPT Stake, Lowers Reward Cut

The Stronk Orchestrator has surpassed 800k LPT in delegated stake—gaining over 300k LPT recently—driven by its active role in the AI subnet. Contributing to high-quality models and pipelines like flux-dev and the Agent SPE, Stronk is on track to earn nearly 1.5 ETH in June, with all rewards going directly to delegators. In response, the node has lowered its reward cut from 15% to 11%, while keeping the fee cut at 0%. A further drop to 8% is planned when 1M LPT stake is reached.
