As of today, we’re offering fully integrated staking on Ethereum. Staking is a great opportunity for investors to earn passive income and help grow the industry – with the added security of a partner like SMART VALOR.
With the highly anticipated upcoming Merge, where Ethereum shifts from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake, (PoS) resulting in greener, responsible investing, there’s really no better time to uplift your crypto portfolio return.
What is staking?
Staking is the process of committing your tokens to support the transaction processing on a Proof-of-Stake blockchain. If you have enough tokens, you can lock them up, for a specific period of time and act as a transaction validator. With this you effectively become an operator of, for example, a payment network. For this work you earn staking rewards.
Ethereum transitions to Proof-of-Stake
Ethereum started off as Proof-of-work, an energy intensive way to process transactions. In 2020, Ethereum launched a parallel blockchain, which is operating as Proof-of-Stake. Now Ethereum is merging these two blockchains: the original Proof-of-Work and new Proof-of-Stake blockchain, into one. This event is called “the merge” and is scheduled for the 15th September. With this, Ethereum finally transitions to Proof-of-Stake type of blockchain.
How to earn staking rewards
As an Ether owner, you can earn staking rewards for running software on your computers that properly batches transactions into new blocks and checks the work of other validators. For this you need a dedicated hardware, knowledge of how to run software protocols and technical skills to store and protect your private keys from hacking attack. If you don’t have a technical background and don’t feel comfortable securing your private keys, you can delegate this work to a specialized providers such as SMART VALOR.
