Take control of your keys, take control of your wealth. With ether.fi’s innovative key management technology, you can independently manage your withdrawal keys during staking, ensuring security and decentralization. Join us, participate in Ethereum staking, earn lucrative rewards, and together build the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Break free from centralized control. ether.fi empowers users with the ability to manage their own withdrawal keys, ensuring autonomy and security in the staking process. No more reliance on third parties or centralized authorities.
Your assets, your rules. By separating withdrawal keys from validation keys, ether.fi mitigates the risk of potential attacks or malicious behavior, providing users with an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
Whether you're a large-scale holder or a newcomer to staking, ether.fi welcomes all. With the ability to stake any amount of ETH and participate in liquidity pools, users have the flexibility to tailor their involvement according to their preferences and goals.
At the core of ether.fi's operation lies its decentralized staking mechanism. Users can directly stake multiples of 32 ETH into the platform's smart contracts, triggering an auction process where node operators bid to become validators. Upon selection, the smart contract mints two NFTs representing the user's withdrawal rights: Tradable-NFT (T-NFT) and Bound-NFT (B-NFT). T-NFT allows for the transfer of 30 ETH withdrawal rights, while B-NFT, tied to the user's address, safeguards 2 ETH withdrawal rights. Through this process, users retain control over their validator keys, enhancing security and decentralization.
Beyond traditional staking, ether.fi offers liquidity pool staking for users who wish to stake less than 32 ETH. This liquidity pool consists of ETH and T-NFTs, allowing users to deposit ETH and receive eETH (staking certificates) in return. Similarly, T-NFT holders can stake their tokens into the pool to earn eETH. eETH represents a claim on the equivalent amount of ETH held in the platform's liquidity pool or rewards earned in the Ethereum proof-of-stake system. Through this mechanism, users can seamlessly participate in staking with various amounts of ETH, enhancing accessibility and liquidity within the ecosystem.
