  • Consensys launched pooled staking on MetaMask for any amount of Ether.
  • Utilizes StakeWise protocol for increased accessibility to staking rewards.
  • Rolling out in stages, not yet available to U.S. or U.K. users.
  • Regulatory uncertainty hinders availability in certain jurisdictions.
  • MetaMask aims to bridge the gap for users with less than 32 ETH.
  • Consensys plans to expand service to the U.S. and U.K. as regulations evolve.

Summary :


MetaMask, the popular Ethereum wallet, has launched a pooled staking feature that allows users to stake any amount of Ether. This feature enables users to participate in Ethereum staking without having to meet the minimum requirement of 32 ETH. However, the pooled staking service is being rolled out in stages and is currently not available to users in the U.S. or U.K. due to regulatory uncertainty. MetaMask's move into pooled staking puts it in competition with established players like Lido and Coinbase. The launch of this feature aims to make native Ethereum validator staking more accessible to users with smaller amounts of ETH.
