MetaMask Adds ‘Pooled Staking’ for Cheaper Ethereum Validation

Staking on Ethereum conventionally requires users to tie up 32 ETH with the network, which at current market prices totals some $112,000. “Pooled” services like Lido, Rocket Pool and now MetaMask give more users access to staking by bundling together assets from various people, making it possible for anyone to stake even if they don’t have 32 ETH.
