Pursuing Our Core Values

It has been a year since we first announced our stakefish validators for the Beacon Chain, Ethereum’s consensus layer. Since then, the network has more than proven itself and its readiness to run the world’s more active blockchain. We thank the Ethereum Foundation’s researchers and the consensus layer client teams for their tireless efforts on carrying the network to its current state.

We are grateful for the amount of interest our community has shown us since launch as well. We have seen early growth and interest in our Ethereum validators. We feel lucky to have community members who truly recognize our values and philosophy.

Now it’s time for us to unveil another step in our mission to lower the barriers to staking. Accessing stakefish validators required a considerable stake of 32 ETH. That changes now. Today, we’re excited to announce we’ll be launching a staking service that enables users to contribute to the security of Ethereum and earn staking rewards with stakefish validators with only 0.1 ETH.

The smart contract we use has been audited twice by Solidified and Runtime Verification. A new smart contract is deployed each time a stake of 32 ETH is met.

We want you to make the most informed decision when it comes to staking. Therefore, here are the risks you should be mindful of:

Staking with us will mean you will have dedicated access to our validators. We pride ourselves in our validator operations, and understand that stakers would like to choose a longstanding validator like us. Staking with us will mean you conduct vanilla staking. We don’t issue staking any tokens. You can stake with us knowing you will earn staking rewards until the exit date without any complexity.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on the upcoming Merge. This is going to be the biggest upgrade to Ethereum of all time and we’ll make sure to be ready for it. The other high priority item for our Ethereum validators is to add Nimbus and Teku to the list of clients we support. A multi-client future is a necessity for the security and health of Ethereum, and we’ll make sure to do our part by further diversifying our stack. So, stay tuned on this!

From your friendly neighborhood validator, stakefish!
