We have been empowering individuals to participate in the infrastructure of Ethereum since 2018, and making staking accessible to home stakers since Ethereum PoS genesis.
What we have seen is that there was a clear division between valiant Solo Stakers and the centralizing forces of big infrastructure providers and pools. Luckily, this is a false dichotomy: In the pursuit of true decentralization, communities, teams, companies and all groups in between have a role to play.
Teams and communities now have it easier than ever to secure the network and earn rewards with the adoption of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), led by innovative platforms like Obol and Diva. DVTs revolutionize the landscape by making team staking possible, distributing responsibilities among a group of computers rather than relying on a single node.
Therefore, at Dappnode we’re creating again the easiest way to stake - this time with your team and friends. In collaboration with Aragon, Obol and Diva we are excited to announce the launch of #TeamStaking program. Our shared goal is to empower contributors to stake from home, making node operation accessible and enjoyable. We welcome all organizations to join the #TeamStaking project.
What is Team Staking?
Team Staking is a full turnkey solution for validating Ethereum with your #Team, community, company, group of friends or squad. All you need is a group of people that are willing to share the responsibility of running validators -they don’t have to be developers or technically oriented!- and we take care of the rest.
Like Dappnode, TeamStaking is fully plug-and-play: contact us and we will provide you with everything you need to start validating on ethereum and contributing to decentralization, including hardware, software and training on how to use everything!
The 4 layers of the staking ecosystem
You bring the team, we bring the rest!
And, if your team doesn’t have ETH to stake… there are certain partners that might be able to help too. Let us know and we can discuss a plan. Of course, if you already have the hardware or prefer to use one piece of software over another, we can work together to create a program that suits your needs.
Team Staking Initiative and Its Benefits
Team Staking empowers organizations, like Aragon, to contribute effectively to Ethereum decentralization, offering benefits and advantages:
- Accessible software: Dappnode provides free and open source software for running nodes, ensuring that organizations have easy access to the tools needed to participate in Ethereum's decentralization
- Accessible Technology: The adoption of DVT technology not only mitigates risks associated with single node failures but also enables the formation of clusters, reducing the bond requirement for validators.
- Hardware cost reduction: We also offer to all organizations that want to participate in the TeamStaking project our Dappnode Homes at reduced prices
- Educational Support: Through educational workshops and personalized guidance provided by industry leaders such as Obol and Diva, stakers gain the knowledge and skills necessary for success. This equips contributors with the tools and expertise needed to make meaningful contributions to the network.
Aragon's Team Staking Success Story
To learn more about the first Team Staking implementation, its transformative potential and the example of Aragon’s journey, representatives from Aragon, Dappnode, Obol and Diva recently participated in a dynamic discussion hosted on Aragon’s Twitter Spaces.
To listen to the conversation and gain a deeper understanding of the synergies between Aragon, Dappnode, and Diva, we invite you to tune in to the Twitter Spaces event here
