MetaMask’s new offering now eliminates the need for pooling or complex hardware to run an Ethereum validator node but it also takes a 10% cut.
Crypto wallet provider MetaMask has rolled out a new staking service that enables Ethereum users to run their very own validator node... for a price.
On Jan. 18, the crypto wallet provider introduced validator staking through MetaMask Portfolio.
MetaMask will run the validator node on behalf of stakers who deposit 32 Ether (ETH). At current Ethereum prices, this equates to roughly $78,752 — not a small sum.
