To participate in Ethereum staking, individuals must hold & stake ETH & operate an Ethereum validating node.

Validators play a critical role in validating transactions, securing the network & they receive rewards for their efforts.

Staking helps to improve Ethereum's scalability, security & sustainability.

When node staking with Rocket Pool, you stake both your own ETH & ETH on behalf of liquid stakers.

You earn rewards on your own ETH & a commission fee based on the rewards your node generates for liquid stakers.

As a Rocket Pool node staker you will earn more than liquid staking or solo staking directly but it is a greater responsibility.
