MetaMask now has a function for launching an Ethereum validator
Cryptocurrency wallet provider MetaMask has introduced a new service for Ethereum staking. Now you don’t need a pool or complex equipment to run a validator node
The MetaMask team spoke about a new staking function for network users of the second cryptocurrency.
The feature will reportedly allow running an Ethereum validator node without a pool or the need for specialized hardware. MetaMask will do this, but for a fee - 32 ETH ($78,752 at the current rate).
“We will securely manage your node, optimizing staking rewards and reducing the risks associated with failures and downtime,” the developers wrote.
In this case, all control over accounts and funds will belong only to the client. According to ConsenSys representatives, the latter can count on an annual return of 3.8%. It is calculated from a constant base rate and additional rewards that are awarded when choosing a validator.
