Consensys has launched the "Pooled staking" service for users of the MetaMask crypto wallet, allowing Ethereum holders to stake any amount of coins without restrictions, reports CoinDesk.

Developers note that 99% of Ethereum holders do not meet the minimum staking requirement of 32 ETH (approximately $112,000 at the time of writing).

According to Consensys, "Pooled staking" in MetaMask addresses this issue. The new service allows users to earn rewards for staking any amount of Ethereum.

The main features of "Pooled staking" include:

  • no minimum requirements for the amount of funds;
  • flexible conditions allowing users to withdraw assets from staking at any time;
  • simple balance tracking through MetaMask Portfolio.

Mathieu Saint-Olive, Senior Product Manager at Consensys, noted that the new service promotes the decentralization and security of the Ethereum network:

The increase in the number of users and staking participants is beneficial for the security of Ethereum. Since 2020, our validators have been operating smoothly without any incidents.

It is reported that this service is currently unavailable for residents of the US and the UK, but Consensys is working to expand the service's availability in these jurisdictions.

Recall that in January 2024, the MetaMask team added the ability to deploy Ethereum nodes, allowing validator delegation without the need to purchase equipment or join a pool.
