Express interest in Stakers Union: A collective of home-stakers for the Ethereum network.

On January 21, 2024 Nethermind validators suddenly went offline at block 257,913. Thanks to Nethermind being a minority client, network participation drop was only ~10% and the chain was unaffected! Proceeds will be sent to the Smoothly pool (https://smoothly.money/) to support solo stakers. POAP design created by ElectroPillow.eth.

This POAP recognizes Solo Stakers who first joined Smooth after its launch. Smooth is an MEV Smoothing Pool developed by Dappnode that allows validators to increase their rewards in the Ethereum network by pooling them together. Lido, Centralized Exchanges and other pools with lots of validators consistently hit lottery blocks because of the sheer numbers of validators they have. They naturally split these rewards between all their validators, effectively being at an advantage vs the average Solo Staker. This is a centralizing force, as the rich become richer and bigger operations get bigger rewards. Now, Solo Stakers with few validators don't depend on luck to be at par with the big guys while supporting Ethereum's decentralization!
