MetaMask, the most popular wallet for Ethereum, will offer “pooled staking” feature to its users starting this week. This will make it cheaper to contribute to the security of the blockchain network compared to running a full validator node. 😂

The new feature will allow users to participate in Ethereum staking – a popular crypto investment strategy that involves receiving rewards in exchange for parking tokens at an address on the blockchain. In “proof-of-work” blockchains like Ethereum, staking is the main way the network is kept secure. 🚀

MetaMask's staking feature may be a pleasant surprise for some retail traders who want to stake, trade, and track their staking investments in a single interface. However, MetaMask is far from the first crypto wallet to introduce staking and is missing some functionality that differentiates existing pooled staking platforms. 😅

The new staking feature will not be available in the US or UK. According to Consensys, "The team aims to launch this feature in these regions as well."
