Ethereum’s switch to proof-of-stake fixed some problems, like environmental damage linked to PoW mining. But it raised new issues, including worries about centralization, MEV and censorship, say Margaux Nijkerk and Sam Kessler.

If appetite for staking on Ethereum does not slow meaningfully over the next several months, the size of Ethereum’s validator set could become problematic for the blockchain, says Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy Digital.

In an exclusive interview, Sreeram Kannan, the founder of EigenLayer and a pioneer behind restaking, discusses his project's goals as a new landscape for restaking emerges.

It’s easy to get carried away with staking on PoS networks like Ethereum. But in the long-term, it pays to be cautious. Pick underlying projects with good prospects, don’t over-leverage, and, above all, embrace boredom over quick thrills, says Jeff Wilser.

The EU and UK may both be contemplating new rules to cover crypto staking — as regulatory action in Switzerland and Singapore offers a cautionary tale.

The staking powerhouse dominates the market for liquid tokens. Is this a problem? Marin Tvrdić, a protocol relations contributor at Lido, responds.

A victim of its own success? The rising number of validators on Ethereum is driving staking rewards down, according to CoinDesk Indices data. But other chains are weak competition, accounting for token supply inflation and real yields.

The network’s transition to proof-of-stake is like changing the engine of a moving car.

Alison Mangiero, executive director the Proof of Stake Alliance (POSA), says confusion around the term “staking” has led to greater regulatory scrutiny.

DeFi now has a yield-bearing collateral asset that is native to crypto, Ethena Labs Conor Ryder writes for "Staking Week."

EigenLayer’s platform for "restaking" is designed to extend Ethereum’s pooled security from ETH stakers to other blockchain systems – a way for developers to bootstrap new networks without having to create their own communities of network validators.

Ethereum's move away from proof-of-work has many people asking how to get involved in staking and how it works. We have answers.
