An Overview of Ethereum Staking

Overview of ETH Staking globally
  • On September 6th, 2022, the Ethereum network underwent a transition known as “The Merge.” The merge transformed Ethereum from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) network to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network. Through the Merge, Ethereum’s mainnet and beacon chain, a separate proof-of-stake network, were combined.
  • On Ethereum's network, there are over 700,000 validators, representing roughly 20% of the entire supply of ETH.
  • The leading LSD platform operates more than 16% of all validator nodes in the entire Ethereum staking ecosystem, making it the largest single ETH staking entity by far.
  • The current distribution of ETH staking pools emphasizes a centralization issue for the state of Ethereum staking but also an opportunity. Many liquid ETH staking solutions have strict requirements for users and limited usability.
