Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for Talisman: Delivered TAO staking functionality with a React-based UI, including data-fetching hooks for validators and pools, bonding/unbonding TAO tokens, and refactored staking components to support Bittensor TAO and nomination pools. Bond button behavior is now controlled via remote config to handle both staking and nomination pools. Addressed key edge cases in the staking release ceremony by disabling a problematic status check, ensuring correct access to nomination pools configuration, and returning null for the default nomination pool ID when not on a nomination-pool chain.
