Well done!! 👏
This is the vision of Squad Staking and the University Validator Program. 🛣️
We want the next generation of squad stakers to have the knowledge, financial means, and confidence to deploy and run Ethereum validators like the pros do. 💻
Imagine groups of university students deploying distributed validators (DVs) with this level of ease to decentralize Ethereum. 👥👥
The future is decentralized with Squad Staking! 🌐
Last weekend @allam_hamdi and I set up our own Ethereum nodes.
It took 3 hours and basic consumer hardware.

Squad Staking lowers financial and technical barriers for staking, offering easier paths for home stakers to stake on Ethereum Mainnet.
🎓 For example, our Techne Credential program offers home stakers a path to stake in major LSPs w/ delegated ETH.
🙏 @Obol_Collective
In many ways, while I agree staking is better, staking really just made it easier for really rich people.
Option 1: take $10m, hire lots of people build a giant mining farm, run a company to mine.
Option 2: take $10m click "stake", and you're done.
The hobbiests at least *enjoyed* the process of mining, they show off their rigs, etc...
Clicking "stake" does nothing for them. And really makes them feel how unfair the process is.

Home staking and solo staking ALWAYS need to exist on Ethereum. 🌐
Home and solo stakers are critical contributors to Ethereum decentralisation and vital to the long-term health of the network. 🏠
Frustrated with how readily people in this industry eat up total bullshit
No, Ethereum is not giving up on solo staking, this is a narrative pushed by people trying to discredit Ethereum's commitment to decentralization

Squad Staking is the key to scaling Ethereum.
We need more Squad Stakers. The future of staking lies in the next generation of staking leaders.
🎓 University Validator Program: squadstaking.com/universitie…
If Ethereum wants to offer a lot of data availability, it needs a lot of nodes. 📈
If you cap issuance, only a small number of the most centralized nodes can cover their costs.
Small number of nodes = small amount of data availability sampling.

I'm excited to share that the journey of Ethereum node operator got started with Lido #CSM!
On 26th of December, Lido made huge deposits to CSMs’ deposit_data and my validators are now active!
This didn’t happened without #ETH delegation from @tsuru___chan , continuous support from my man @stakesaurus and @SatBalwynnorth, and the lovely machine from @d_gusakov .
I would like to thank you all for every support you made.
Here’s my next thoughts;
-Introduction to @Obol_Collective for DVT education in Japan
-Spin up validators with @squadstaking
-Japanese YouTube guide for preparation for CSM fully permissionless
-Creating a checklist so that newbie can self-check the process of spinning up a validator
Let’s keep pushing to make Ethereum more decentralized!

Support the University Validator Program and hands-on education for university students. 👐
Support the future staking leaders of Ethereum. 🛣️
Support decentralization! 🌐⚖️
More here: squadstaking.com/universitie…
Wake up, chat — validators are becoming the ultimate public good, and this is more important than any conversation you’re having right now.
Here’s why we believe the University Validator Program with @Obol_Collective & @squadstaking is one of the most critical Web3 initiatives of the year.
We see Obol DVs as the ideal starting point for universities and student blockchain communities to gain practical, hands-on experience with Ethereum infrastructure — while also being able to channel staking rewards back into education & innovation.
Additionally, students not only learn valuable skills that prepare them for future careers, but they also bring institutional credibility to the blockchain space.
This approach increases universities’ capacity to actively engage with Ethereum, grows the next generation of blockchain talent, and supports student clubs whilst securing the chain with style ;)
The talent influx into web3 is real, and we’re bringing it to you. Please tap in - and share this with everyone you know.

#SquadStaking gives home stakers opportunities to help decentralise restaking protocols such as @Ether_Fi!

Had the same thought. I’m not sure it will be necessary to add the technical complexity at the protocol level since so many stakers and the oDAO members are so receptive to it.

👀 Solo stakers with enterprise-level performance? 👇 📈
The @LidoFinance Simple DVT Module has a Rated Effectiveness Rating (RAVER) of 98.2% for the past 30 days! 👏
This module is made of many solo stakers and community operators running distributed validators (DVs).
🏠 Thanks to the power of DVs, home stakers CAN validate on par with the performance of enterprise operators! 📊
This is how we decentralise Ethereum. #RunDVs

That's it for 2024!
Years ago, it would’ve been difficult to believe that a pathway would be created for home stakers to run validators that rival the performance to that of professional operators, but this is exactly what #SquadStaking has done.
Here's to decentralisation. Bigger things to come in 2025. 🥂
