A summary of my fireside chat with @VitalikButerin at the Home Staking Summit in Singapore last week if you weren't able to attend. *Disclaimer: This also includes some of my prior understanding and interpretation. Part 1 of 3: The importance of solo stakers Solo stakers serve

Today I am open sourcing an end-to-end ETH home-staking guide that I use for my own business. It is a document that has been painstakingly compiled over the past couple of weeks, designed to bring any lay-person from zero-to-one on home-staking conceptually and operationally.

The new meta for solo stakers = Your own mini staking pool. Anyone can get there with minimal ETH by following this roadmap: 1) Practice for free on Google Cloud - guides in bio 2) Apply for hardware grants to offset fixed costs - e.g. EF's Run-a-node grant + more to come 3)

Updated my ETH home staking guide after the last version 9 months ago--dvt-homestaker.stakesaurus.com New content: 1) Optimised instructions for solo stakers to run additional services to scale their earnings 2) Added all client combinations 3) DVTs: Starting with Diva and adding Obol

IMO the next wave of decentralisation of the ETH validator sets will realistically not come from an uprising of solo stakers en masse - but rather, from community builders running their own nodes and providing their members with another option to stake their ETH vs current

Really enjoyed my discussion with @VitalikButerin at the very first Home Staking Summit! The why’s & how’s behind the push for empowering solo stakers were insightful & important to us. Thank you again for spending time with this community during the busiest week of the year🙏🏼

🚨 Vitalik Just Made a Bold Statement at Ethereum Singapore 2024 Ethereum’s co-founder took the stage to highlight a critical shift: solo stakers could be the key to Ethereum’s long-term security. Here’s why it matters:

The golden age of solo stakers is here. I talked about the roadmap for solo stakers previously and this is Step 2 - Apply for hardware grants in action. The next step is to make use of this grant to start accumulating on-chain creds by running a DVT-enabled node with minimal

DVT enables lower-bond validators but it doesn't address the fact that hardware is still too expensive to justify buying a computer to earn rewards on a 1 ETH DVT validator EthStaker, with @divastaking and @stakesaurus is running a 10-week pilot program to subsidize hardware for

For solo stakers, checking for eligibility of airdrops by signing arbitrary messages with our withdrawal addresses is super scary cos that's where all our ETH goes. Not to mention the phishing army that floods our timelines. Fortunately, there's a way to minimise your exposure

Solo staking is not just about the economics. It's about making new friends, improving, and exploring new opportunities together! This is why I started running in-person workshops again with time for participants to unwind & interact among themselves after. This model seems

This knowledge graph generator basically gives you superpowers to sound smart walking into a meeting/event on short notice. But the possibilities doesn't end with just academic-type learning - because what other types of highly valuable information are best visualised as graphs?

We hit our very first 32 ETH <24 hours from launch! I mean, 5 of them were my own, but still, it's a testament to the viability of this model for solo stakers! To my fellow Ethereans - It's never a better time to pick up this skill 🔧 Check out the vault yourselves👇

Woke up today to kick things off by depositing 5 of my own ETH and realised that we actually received our first 5 ETH staked into our vault overnight! It may not seem like much but it’s a zero-to-one moment of how solo stakers can acquire their own TVL! Really thankful for the

Solo staking cannot replace your full-time job but it’s one of those skills that offers asymmetrical upside vs effort required. 1) it's relatively low effort once you learn how to set things up for a nice side income—e.g., 30 minutes a month maintenance without being highly
