Staking as a service

  • Third-party node operators handle the operation of your validator client
  • Great option for anyone with 32 ETH who doesn't feel comfortable dealing with the technical complexity of running a node
  • Reduce trust, and maintain custody of your withdrawal keys

What is staking as a service?

Staking as a service (“SaaS") represents a category of staking services where you deposit your own 32 ETH for a validator, but delegate node operations to a third-party operator. This process usually involves being guided through the initial setup, including key generation and deposit, then uploading your signing keys to the operator. This allows the service to operate your validator on your behalf, usually for a monthly fee.

Why stake with a service?

The Ethereum protocol does not natively support delegation of stake, so these services have been built out to fill this demand. If you have 32 ETH to stake, but don't feel comfortable dealing with hardware, SaaS services allow you to delegate the hard part while you earn native block rewards.

Your own validator

Deposit your own 32 ETH to activate your own set of signing keys that will participate in Ethereum consensus. Monitor your progress with dashboards to watch those ETH rewards accumulate.

Easy to start

Forget about hardware specs, setup, node maintenance and upgrades. SaaS providers let you outsource the hard part by uploading your own signing credentials, allowing them to run a validator on your behalf, for a small cost.

Limit your risk

In many cases users do not have to give up access to the keys that enable withdrawing or transferring staked funds. These are different from the signing keys, and can be stored separately to limit (but not eliminate) your risk as a staker.

Usimamishaji binafsi wa hisa

Mfanano ikiwemo kuwa na funguo za uthibitishaji bila ya kuwa na haja ya kuunganisha fedha, lakini ukiwa na SaaS unatakiwa uamini upande wa tatu, ambapo anaweza kufanya vitendo vya udanganyifu au kuwa lengo la mashambulio au udhibiti mwenyewe. Kama haya mawazo ya uaminifu au hatari za ugatuzi zinakuhusu wewe, kiwango cha dhahabu cha kuweka dhamana kwa uhuru wa kibinafsi ni kuweka dhamana peke yako.

Usimamishaji wa hisa wa kundi

Hii ni sawa na kwamba kwa ujumla unamtegemea mtu mwingine kuendesha uthibitishaji, lakini tofauti na SaaS, kuweka dhamana kwa pamoja inakuwezesha kushiriki na kiasi kidogo cha ETH. Kama unataka kuweka dhamana na kiwango kidogo chini ya 32 ETH, fikiria kuangalia hili.

What to consider

There are a growing number of SaaS providers to help you stake your ETH, but they all have their own benefits and risks. All SaaS options require additional trust assumptions compared to home-staking. Saas options may have additional code wrapping the Ethereum clients that is not open or auditable. SaaS also has a detrimental effect on network decentralization. Depending on the setup, you may not control your validator - the operator could act dishonestly using your ETH.
