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
Lean on others in your squad to pick you up when you face challenges
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.
Home Stakers
Home operators can now join forces to collectively deploy new validators, lowering the bonding requirement to as little as 3.2 ETH per operator and opening more opportunities to earn delegated ETH.
Teams and DAOs
Deploy Obol DVs within your DAO or team to foster #TeamStaking, an initiative that strengthens the decentralisation and security of Ethereum through collective participation.
Universities
Universities and blockchain clubs globally can now educate students on running Ethereum validators, facilitating hands-on learning and direct involvement in network security through staking.
Communities
Strengthen your community's role in Ethereum's ecosystem by collaborating as a squad to deploy validators, utilising Obol’s resources and training materials to ensure success and scalability.
"Squad Staking unlocks the power of Ethereum, and makes it so almost anyone can become an Ethereum staker"
