Pectra Staking via BitGo

Please Note for US-ONLY Infrastructure

If you would like to have a US-ONLY infrastructure stack, please ensure that you communicate with Pier Two your wallet address which will be your withdrawal address, such that Pier Two can configure its API to route your stake to US infrastructure.

Pectra and BitGo Quirks

For Pectra validators, BitGo has set a maximum amount of 1920 ETH per validator, so as to enable the auto-compounding benefits associated with the Pectra upgrade.

Deposit Example - 2100 ETH

If you stake 2100 ETH, you will have one 1920 ETH validator, and one 180 ETH validator.

Deposit Example - 10 ETH

If you try to stake 10 ETH, and if you have an existing BitGo validator that has a balance less than or equal to 1920 ETH, and greater than 32 ETH, then the deposit message will be valid and you can stake that amount. If you have an existing BitGo validator that has a balance greater than 1910 ETH (such that your validator balance will exceed 1920 ETH) you will not be permitted to deposit, and must then create a new 32 ETH validator.

Maximum Stake

The maximum stake is 192,000 ETH per transaction. This is 100 x 1920 ETH validators that you can stake via the BitGo interface. For any deposit larger than 1920 ETH that is in equal increments, BitGo uses Pier Two's secure and audited Pectra Batch Deposit Contract Read more here. This is done in order to save deposit gas an improve the UX.

The Delay

Deposit transactions and then the ability to sign these deposit transactions may experience a delay within the BitGo interface, this is normal.
