I decided to try out Geode Finance on the Ethereum Goerli testnet. This was my experience.You choose whether you want to run a staking node, or if you want to be a part of a an existing staking pool as a node operator. I wanted to see what it will be like to create a staking pool.2. You then name the staking pool.3. Afterwards, you set a maintenance fee. I set 4%.4. You then choose if you want the pool to be public or not.5. There are different types of token types, but you don’t necessarily need a separate token.I chose ERC 20 and had the option to name it.6. Geode gives you the option to have a liquidity pool. I decided to go for it due to the benefits explained.7. You then create a withdrawal contract.8. After all those steps. the pool information is summarized and you can go ahead and deploy the pool.I found this process to be very intuitive. There are a lot of options available for operating a staking pool. I appreciated the straight forward UX, as well as the explanations of the benefits of different options. I think that this protocol will go far in allowing true decentralized ETH staking.Test it yourself at https://stake.geode.fi/stakingpools
