The developers of the non-custodial wallet MetaMask introduced the function of “collective” Ethereum staking. The service lowers the entry threshold to 32 ETH (~$113,000) for ordinary users.
According to ConsenSys representatives, the service will not be available in the US and UK.
“With Pooled Staking, MetaMask users have an easy way to participate in Ethereum staking through enterprise-grade validators. They will retain full control over their coins, receive rewards and improve the security of the network,” the message says.
The publication explained that MetaMask lacks some features that would help it stand out from its competitors.
In particular, Lido and Rocket Pool offer liquid staking tokens (LST), which can be used in DeFi protocols to increase the profitability of transactions.
MetaMask has no plans to offer its own LST as part of the new service.
Let us recall that in May, CoinDesk sources reported plans to integrate Bitcoin support into a non-custodial wallet.
MetaMask previously added “smart transactions” to protect against MEV bots.
In January, it became known that wallet developers were testing “routing” technology that could revolutionize the transfer of value in the Ethereum network.#ЛюбимыйТокен
