EtherFi (ETHFI): Controlling and Maximizing Your ETH Staking Rewards
Ethereum’s (ETH) move to the proof of stake (PoS) block validation model in 2022, The Merge, opened up new opportunities for investors to earn ETH rewards while contributing to the network’s security and operations. A plethora of staking and restaking platforms quickly surfaced in the aftermath of The Merge. Many of these offered liquid staking services, the primary way of getting around the 32 ETH minimum collateral requirement.
However, most of the staking and restaking platforms in this sphere are based on custodial, permissioned models, with stakers not in control of their keys. ether.fi (ETHFI) is a new player in the field, having launched the bulk of its services in late 2023 to early 2024. It offers a comprehensive suite of Ethereum staking and restaking products in a noncustodial way. With ether.fi, you remain in control of the keys to your staked funds, and can choose from several different staking solutions, each designed with a specific user segment in mind.
