### Introducing StakeWise V3: ETH staking made effortless

As an active participant in the staking field, StakeWise has firsthand experience with stake **centralization's detrimental effects** on the Ethereum's ecosystem.

V3 is a significant protocol upgrade designed to **enhance Ethereum's decentralization** **by actively encouraging the reallocation of new Ether inflows** towards smaller but quality operators, and increasing the participation of solo operators in the network.

> ### **The protocol abstracts away the technical complexity of running staking infrastructure and removes entry barriers for the users, allowing to generate yield from ETH staking with just a couple of clicks.**

*   With V3, StakeWise enables **liquid staking for solo operators,** and creates a node operator marketplace to help discerning and mission-driven users to **choose their own staking providers.**
    
*   There is **no minimum ETH** requirement to stake through the pools
    

Permissionless
--------------

StakeWise V3 is completely permissionless to enable a variety of individuals and organizations to support the Beacon Chain at scale. **Anyone capable of running Ethereum validators can now engage in liquid staking and receive staking delegations from various sources.**

Whether you're an individual staker, a DeFi community, or a telecommunications operator, StakeWise V3 empowers you to stake ETH, run validators for others, or both.

Vaults
======

At the heart of the protocol lies a network of **Vaults** — individual staking “marketplace” that anyone can set up to accept Ether delegations in return for a staking fee. **Vaults can be formed by either a single party running the nodes or multiple parties working together.**

*   **For every 32 Ether of deposits accumulated in a Vault, the Vault operator(s) registers an Ethereum validator in the Beacon Chain and starts staking.**
    
*   **The staking rewards belong to the Allocators**, net of the staking fee charged by the Vault. Every Vault can set its own staking fee.
    
*   **Upon deposit, Allocators receive Vault Tokens (VLTs) - an ERC-20 repricing token that represents the Ether staked in the Vault**. Every Vault has its own set of VLTs that reflect only the capital specific to that Vault.
    

For example, there can be Vaults formed by the existing StakeWise node operators, a group of solo stakers using Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) from Obol or SSV, a single solo staker or even a mix between solo stakers, communities, and organizations of any kind.

The Vaults network is the foundation for decentralised staking in StakeWise V3, but it’s not the only innovation:

### **A liquid staking platform**

*   StakeWise has the ability to **generate an overcollateralized staked Ether token,** **osETH**, to access DeFi and have instant liquidity for staked capital. A liquid ERC-20 token representation of staked capital that uses Vault Token(s) as collateral. It can be minted by anyone who has staked Ether into the Vault(s) - including the solo stakers - or it can be bought/sold on decentralized exchanges.
    
*   **The** **token accrues staking rewards when held,** which is reflected in the changing redemption value over time, l_ike wstETH from Lido or rETH from Rocket Pool_.
    
*   **Users are free to un-stake at any time** or utilise their staked ETH capital to earn _enhanced yields_ throughout DeFi.

How to Stake via Stakewise?
---------------------------

### As Vault Providers, SenseiNode owns a Public Vault where users can choose to deposit Ether to start Pool Staking.

Anyone can deposit **any amount of ETH** into our StakeWise Pool! Start now:

[https://app.stakewise.io/vault/0x5610297eb32542b8f13378fe7d783dcb1ac3b1a1](https://app.stakewise.io/vault/0x5610297eb32542b8f13378fe7d783dcb1ac3b1a1)

### As Industry-grade Node Operators, SenseiNode is capable of hosting open permissionless or private Vaults for any kind of staker - or even for retail use.

The StakeWise V3 upgrade allows any entity to offer highly-regulatory compliant, non-custodial staking as a service.

> **StakeWise allows institutions & exchanges to work only with the node operators and staking clients of their choice by creating their own private Vaults.**

In this case, the Vault tokens produced by staking into the Vault act as representations of staked Ether for which the organization can itself enable liquidity & utility within its ecosystem. In case the organization wants to access the wider DeFi market and enjoy more liquidity & utility for staked capital, it can mint, or allow its customers to mint, osETH tokens to do so.

*   Customize the staking configuration based on compliance needs.
    
*   No token requirement. Neither the exchange nor the node operator need to post collateral or bond.
    
*   Create as many private pools as necessary to segregate client funds.
    
*   There is no minimum or maximum staking amount.
