Coinbase has released its first Ethereum Validator Performance Report, revealing data on 120,000 validators and 3.84 million ETH.

Validator Performance and Reliability

Coinbase demonstrated 99.75% validator uptime in February 2025, with zero slashing or double signing events. The platform attributes this to a structural upgrade enabling beacon node maintenance without downtime. The company avoids pursuing 99.9% uptime to prevent slashing risks.

Client and Relay Diversification

Coinbase's staking strategy includes client and relay diversification. Validators use two consensus clients (Lighthouse, Prysm) and two execution clients (Geth, Nethermind). The platform connects participants to six MEV relays, optimizing staking rewards and reducing centralization risks.

Decentralization Support and Resource Distribution

To support decentralization, Coinbase's validators are distributed across five countries and use two cloud providers. The validator orchestration system minimizes downtime during workload migrations in case of prolonged outages in a region or cloud provider.

Coinbase has significantly enhanced the transparency and reliability of its Ethereum operations by adopting technologies that mitigate risks and maintain high levels of decentralization and security.
