and uh I'm From Italy and uh I'm in all the world in the uned states and also you know in New World blockchain I am early investor in ethereum and uh from uh 2022 I founded a company in uh in Switzerland that is called chain labo and uh we are industrializing the solo staking process and what about you who knows uh staking who knows solo staking someone is uh do staking you from you okay ER I I try to explain what is taking not just in technical way but only in uh Financial Financial my ideas so if uh when you're talking about staking there are in my ideas three different actors the user uh for a user to do staking is to be the tokens in uh in a blockchain to obtain other other tokens from this blockchain uh for um as a rewards of bending uh for from the blockchain Sid to the side uh the tokens Bend um is the guarantee that the computer using for staking uh use the capacity of the DPC to enable to enable blockchain to to work uh in the right way so the the actors involved are users blockchain and something like computers that could be Hardware software smart contract that in idea is the third part that uh interacts with users and blockchain oh sorry so why not staking if you have got ethereums and if you if you got e ether and you are not a trading a Trader uh in my opinion in is a is a good idea to do staking because is less risky than any Financial instrument and uh then we so why and uh it's also it it has the same risk that put and hold your ethereum in only a wallet there are four big kind of staking you you could use a centralized exchange you could uh do pull Stak like liquid staking from example leader or rocket pool you could to use staking as a service that is uh another kind of staking uh uh using or through uh different service or other end you could do home staking that is gold standard of ethereum blockchain that is sour taking uh few numbers 30 34 million of total ethereum St in 1 billion of total validos as you know for one validators you need the 32 ethereum here we we see that 28% of the total supply of ethereum is taking in uh um is is in staking while of this stake detarium 28% is taking through Leo so is liquid staking from solo staking the differ is that you have not the third part so you have your computer you put online and and you um put inside all the software needed to do staking and you have a you you are a part of the decentralization of ethereum is totally not custodial so you have your keys you are you have also your nodes that is a uh on your own possession at your house for for example and most of all all the rewards coming from the ethereum blockchain come to you you have not to pay fees of these uh rewards at the end there are no third part on the other hand is you have to know some technical uh skills you have to be always online and so problems with connected and the and sometimes you have to make some upgrade of your your notes what about out scenario in general of staking staking is a uh we are looking for a market leader that is Leo that is uh lot of pool and liquid staking as you we saw the percental of uh 28 I think remember is a pool taking with the Leo there are also a lot of other uh new uh project like dout that is distributed validator technology that are new players of uh Sol of staking sorry like s youf safe stake and double and also uh it's from one year we are looking for we are hearing for staking like new rewards opportunities with again layer and other feet all these scenario my opinion um have a lot of problem about decentralization because the this three the three different uh opportunities needs some sens ization with the partner that you that you choose on the other hand we we could say that that from 23 to 24 solo stakers increase in the percental so we pass from 6.5 to 7.2 so a lot of solo stakers Come uh in this uh in this year and in my opinion this is due to the possibility from chapella that is the the new Fork the new upgra of ethereum of the last year to withdraw your ethereum maybe uh people start to to hear the the risk of the third part with f takes and something like that and also there are problem of Regulation so I I I I I try to to think uh I TR to think what if for uh the next year we could see a reduction of minimum required tokens per validators so if what if if it's not necessary 32 ethereums but uh maybe less than 32 and what about could use your staking solo saking solution to stake other kind of uh tokens on other blockchains so this is this is what what we do in Chen Lao we are we are a multi-chain validator service uh for ethereum and also for other new kind of uh uh solo staking solution in another blockchains thank you very much
