MetaMask, powered by ConsenSys, has introduced a new feature: Validator Staking. This simple utility will allow you to do Ethereum validator node actions directly from your MetaMask portfolio.
To get started, you need to deposit 32 ETH in multiples to begin the process. Control remains with you. Delegate validator operations to MetaMask Staking while you manage your account and cash.
Earnings come as a reward. However, MetaMask imposes a 10% fee for award collection. The presented rewards are always post-fee.
The staking rewards combine a consistent base rate with variable bonuses when your validator is randomly assigned to validate a block. The current staking reward rate is at 4.26%.
ConsenSys Staking is a major player behind this game changer. They've already made an impact, handling $2 billion in ETH across 33,000+ validators with no slashing penalties during their two-year run.
