I am excited to unveil @staking_xyz and begin our journey to make staking easy!
The multi-asset staking experience has not seen any improvements for the past 4 years. I want to change that.
Staking.xyz will be the only platform you need for all of your staking needs
✦ Hello world ✦
We are excited to unveil Staking.xyz. Staking plays a key role in the crypto ecosystem, yet it is difficult to understand and begin staking.
We are here to make staking easy for everyone. Learn more about us in our launch post!
medium.com/staking-xyz/intro…
Remember to follow us to stay tuned for further updates.
🦅 Another week of Validator digest! Here are a few expectations (hopes) with the new US leadership:
- Actions against MetaMask and Coinbase dismissed.
- LST / LRT + ETFs.
- No more US restrictions for validator programs.
- ETFs offering staking yield.

More selling pressure -> prices drop -> need to allocate more incentives -> adds more selling pressure -> ...
At the moment, I can only think of ve- type tokenomics that can counteract this downward spiral. Otherwise, AVSs will need to move away from accepting ETH as stake.
One of the biggest challenges of the restaking category is that if you pay staking rewards in your native token to people putting up ETH (or BTC or some other asset) as collateral, they will just sell these tokens to earn more of the asset they already hold.
So rewards = direct sell pressure.
This is not a problem you have in normal PoS systems.
🚗 Welcome to another week of Validator digest!
Going into BNB Chain, Elixir, Ethereum, Solana updates. Shared a few interesting posts from Chorus One and Lavender.Five.

🦄 Welcome to another week of Validator digest. Biggest news for the past week was undoubtedly the @unichain announcement.
Massive opportunity for validators to get involved with (arguably) the project closest to mainstream adoption!

Validator generated content are goldmines. Check out @SimplyStaking coverage of @namada upcoming mainnet launch.
Mainnet soon @namada? Yep 🫨
As we gear up & get ready for mainnet, we thought it'd be helpful to take a look at Namada's journey to this point - and what lies ahead for their #mainnet.
In this weeks article we cover it all - from recapping all the way to a nuanced look at what we're in for with the hub 🚀

Curious how the other L2s feel about Unichain. Given Unichain is a general purpose L2, I can't imagine L2s feeling comfortable to push or incentivize Uniswap deployments on their own L2s.

Another week of Validator digest!
This week I've covered Celestia, Polkadot, Stacks, and Tezos. Tezos has been going through a contentious governance proposal, so that's been an interesting one to dive into.
Please subscribe if you find this useful :)

Third issue of Validator digest is here.
This time I've aggregated a list of some good writings on AVS risk frameworks. With $EIGEN unlocks, things will only accelerate on the restaking front!
paragraph.xyz/@staking_xyz/v…
Second issue of Validator digest is here!
For this issue, I've included a list of all the @eigencloud AVS I'm keeping track of. I've identified 43 AVS so far. Let me know if I'm missing any!

@ChainflowSol @ChainflowPOS is a team I deeply respect for constantly standing by independent validators and striving for protocol decentralization.
They have a great newsletter of key Solana validator discussions that I highly recommend checking out:
chainflowsol.substack.com/
Every Friday, we publish a rehash of @Solana validators' discussions on chainflowsol.substack.com/ and we're happy to see that @proofofjk has launched a validator digest that does the same for multiple other networks like @Ethereum, @eigencloud & more: paragraph.xyz/@staking_xyz

We're getting the first details of how incentives will work for @eigencloud restaking. Here are a few high level numbers based on the public info provided:
EigenLayer is distributing 66,945,866 EIGEN in year 1. 3/4 of this goes to ETH restakers while 1/4 goes to EIGEN restakers.
The network has about $13.9 billion in ETH restaked and $438 million in EIGEN restaked (based on @aevoxyz pre-launch market).
Roughly this translates to:
1.08% in rewards for ETH restakers
11.43% in rewards for EIGEN restakers

Trying something new dedicated to validators. I spend a ton of time exploring existing and new protocols. I wanted to turn this into something useful for operators.

Bware Labs acquired by Alchemy. Stakewithus acquired by Nansen. CryptoManufaktur acquired by Galaxy.
Validator acquisitions happening everywhere.
How will risk firms assess the “quality” of an AVS? I’ve seen at least 5 different projects looking to help with risk assessment, but haven’t seen substance on what measuring sticks they’ll be using.

Brilliant move by @liquid_col. We've desperately needed some form of standardization when assessing node operators.
I expect this to be an important factor when assessing operators for EigenLayer AVSs as well.
Announcing the Node Operator Risk Standard (NORS):
The gold standard for professional ETH node operators 🌐
Built by 13+ industry-leading companies, NORS is a groundbreaking certification for staking infrastructure risk management.
