MetaMask launches Ethereum staking pools to support users in participating in native staking

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, MetaMask developer Consensys has launched a staking pool for MetaMask, allowing users to stake any amount of ETH to contribute to the security of the Ethereum network and earn validator rewards.

MetaMask users can unstake their ETH at any time, but the process requires a waiting period, which may vary depending on the current Ethereum validator exit queue. The staking pool service of MetaMask is being rolled out in phases, starting today for a select group of eligible users, and will be opened to more users in the coming days, supported by the open modular architecture of the Ethereum liquid staking protocol StakeWise for some of its smart contracts.
