What is Solo Staking?

Solo staking is choosing an Ethereum client and running both an execution layer client and consensus layer client to run an Ethereum node, connect it to the internet, and depositing 32 ETH to activate a validator, giving you the ability to participate directly in network consensus. Solo staking is about running your nodes on infrastructure you own, choosing the Ethereum client for your validator and beacon node and also choosing and running your execution layer client.

Solo staking allows you to earn and keep 100% of the execution and consensus layer rewards that are available to your validator node. This is different from using a staking-as-a-service provider, or an exchange where your returns from both the execution layer and consensus layer are not transparent and sometimes require you to pay a commission.

Withdrawals for solo stakers will be straightforward. For a Launchnodes customer, we will provide you with as much or as little support as you or your business requires.
