“The health, resilience, and censorship resistance of blockchains depend on having many independently operated and geographically dispersed full nodes. Each full node can help other new nodes obtain the block data to bootstrap their operation, as well as offer the operator an authoritative and independent verification of all transactions and contracts”.

Client Diversity Is Not Optional - It's critical

Many know client diversity is important for a more resilient network, but they don't understand why or just how essential it is. It's not only important — it's critical

Solo Staking

Solo staking is the act of running an Ethereum node connected to the internet and depositing 32 ETH to activate a validator, giving you the ability to participate directly in network consensus.

Solo staking increases the decentralization of the Ethereum network, making Ethereum more censorship-resistant and robust against attacks. Other staking methods may not help the network in the same ways. Solo staking is the best staking option for securing Ethereum. *

LSD - Liquid Staking Derivatives

Liquid staking allows users with less than 32 ETH to receive staking yields by swapping ether for a token representing staked ether that can be used in DeFi. However, the incentives and market dynamics associated with liquid staking are still being discovered, as well as its effect on Ethereum's security (e.g. centralization risks). *

Risks of Liquid Staking Derivatives

DVT - Distributor-Validator-Technology (DVT)

DVT is a technology primitive that allows an Ethereum PoS Validator to be run on more than one node or machine. This allows a cluster of nodes run by an individual, group, or community of operators to act together as a single validator on Ethereum. Running a validator as a cluster of nodes improves its resiliency while greatly reducing the slashing risk of honest validators, regardless of its size. This makes staking more robust and accessible for all validators. [*]

What is Beacon Chain?

The Beacon Chain was the name of the original proof-of-stake blockchain that was launched in 2020. It was created to ensure the proof-of-stake consensus logic was sound and sustainable before enabling it on Ethereum Mainnet. Therefore, it ran alongside the original proof-of-work Ethereum. Switching off proof-of-work and switching on proof-of-stake on Ethereum required instructing the Beacon Chain to accept transactions from the original Ethereum chain, bundle them into blocks and then organize them into a blockchain using a proof-of-stake based consensus mechanism. At the same moment, the original Ethereum clients turned off their mining, block propagation and consensus logic, handing that all over to the Beacon Chain.*

Gnosis runs the same client software as Ethereum, with minor parameter tweaks. As such, Gnosis is a Proof-of-Stake network that uses Ethereum's Beacon Chain consensus.
