Advocating for Solo Stakers
We believe fundamentally that inclusion of Solo Stakers brings strong benefits to projects that value node operators and decentralization.
StakeCat maintains a repo on GitHub of Solo Stakers Addresses which is currently being used by Lido, EthStaker and Stakers Union. You can read more about these projects below.
Lido Community Staking Module (CSM)
The CSM is a new initiative by Lido that enables independent stakers to run Ethereum validators with less than 2 ETH.
It aims to increase decentralisation by allowing a broader range of node operators to participate. CSM is designed to provide more stable rewards, lower entry barriers, and easier access for solo stakers, enhancing the overall resilience and inclusivity of the Ethereum network.
You can join CSM on testnet now.
Stakers Union
They have developed a robust, multi-step process to verify their members are solo-stakers using our Solo Staker list.
To check out some of the benefits and how to become a member go to their website.
Stakers Union is a collective of verified solo stakers who are committed to preserving decentralization in the Ethereum network.
Guardians of the Ether
Non-transferable NFTs for EthStakers who are keeping Ethereum decentralized by operating their own node.
These NFTs can be used to signify membership in the EthStaker community, provide access to special events, as a basis for governance, or an eligibility for Airdrops as an NFT community that requires solo staking to be involved.
If you operate your own node, you can claim your Guardian here.
Airdrops to Solo Stakers
Starknet
StarkNet, an Ethereum L2 included Solo Stakers as part of the $STRK allocation.
