OPERATION
Enabling ANYONE to run nodes, further decentralizing the Ethereum network. Have a look at the growing network of solo stakers on the map.
To be a solo operator
Distributes validator keys to diverse operators using DVT, reducing risks and promoting decentralization.
For path 2, with the implementation of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT), the need for an ETH bond is eliminated.
Participants earn rewards by supporting and validating the Ethereum network, benefiting stakers and the Ethereum ecosystem.
Path 1
Permissionless users with existing hardware who stake a 2 ETH bond to run a validator.
Permissionless, with DVT for users who are willing to put up a 2 ETH bond requirement and have staking hardware already to secure and validate the Ethereum network.
zenith.fi
Provides 30 ETH, software and technical support.
you
Provide the hardware and internet connection. 2 ETH bond requirement.
Path 2
Permissioned users who provide their own hardware and use DVT without having to provide a 2 ETH bond.
Operation Solo Staker. By committing to operate a node for 2 years, zenith.fi will onboard select users into a permissioned environment allowing users to Solo Stake using DVT without the requirement of a 2 ETH bond.
