Stkr is redefining Ethereum 2.0 staking by simplifying the entire process for the end user and creating an entire eco-system Eth2 staking, so that different participants with different expertise can come together to work for mutual benefit. It’s reducing a complex process to a couple of clicks and will likely became more popular in the future.
Staking on ETH 2.0 has many barriers:
- The minimum amount required to stake is 32 ETH (around $14,500)
- The node needs to stay online and “behave” as intended
- If the node goes offline or “misbehaves” the staked ETH is slashed which could lead to a total loss of the deposited Ether
- Staked ETH will be non transferable for a long time, until phases 1 and 2 of ETH 2.0 are rolled out
