Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism where validators secure the network by proposing and attesting to blocks. To run a validator, exactly 32 ETH must be staked to the Ethereum Beacon Chain.

MAVAN offers multiple ways to stake ETH depending on your custody setup and operational needs. All methods are non-custodial. You retain full control of your ETH.

Whether you're deploying 32 ETH or 10,000+ ETH, Pier Two provides the flexibility, transparency, and reliability required for long-term staking success.
