Overview
- The foundation made an initial 2,016 ETH deposit as it rolls out infrastructure to stake about 70,000 ETH over time.
- Staking rewards will return to the treasury to support protocol research, ecosystem development, community grants and related programs.
- The organization will solo-stake by building blocks locally while using Attestant’s open-source Dirk and Vouch, minority clients, and a mix of hosted and self-managed hardware across jurisdictions.
- Validators use Type 2 (0x02) withdrawal credentials with a 2,048 ETH effective balance per validator, reducing required signing keys to roughly 35 and enabling flexible consolidations.
- On-chain data from Arkham Intelligence shows the foundation holds roughly 172,650 ETH plus about 10,000 WETH available for potential deployment.
