What is Squad Staking?
Squad staking is a transformative approach to staking enabled by Obol distributed validators (DVs), allowing groups of individuals to collectively run an Ethereum validator, improving accessibility, resilience, and decentralisation.
Squad staking offers new opportunities for any aspiring staker to participate in securing Ethereum, no matter their financial situation, location, or experience.
Lower Barriers to Entry
Say goodbye to that 32 ETH requirement and the need to be online 24/7
Get Support From Peers

Promote Decentralisation
Bring more home validators online and help decentralise Ethereum
Opportunity For Everyone
Running validators together allows you to learn, gain experience, connect with others, secure the network, and earn rewards, all while helping to decentralise Ethereum.
"Squad staking allows multiple people to stake together in an M-of-N format, reducing the cognitive overhead of staking and ensuring solo staking prospers in the future. As statelessness and L1 EVM validity proofs reduce the overhead of running nodes, technologies like squad staking will become even more valuable, especially in lowering the minimum balance for solo staking."
