Ether Capital Corporation Announces Initial Commitment to Staking on Ethereum 2.0
Publicly-Traded Ether Capital Begins Staking on an Ethereum 2.0 Node
Ether Capital Corporation (“Ether Capital” or the “Company”) (NEO:ETHC) announces that it has begun participating in staking on the newly launched Ethereum 2.0 network and has committed to running a validator node on the network.
Ether Capital’s validator has been running since Ethereum 2.0’s genesis block which was confirmed at approximately 7:00am ET on December 1, 2020.
Brian Mosoff, Ether Capital’s CEO, said: “The launch of Ethereum 2.0 is an exciting and historic milestone in the digital asset space and we are thrilled to be part of it by running a validator. The transition to staking has been part of Ether Capital’s roadmap since inception and means that Ether holders are now able to generate an Ether-denominated return, or yield, by participating in network validation.”
Ether Capital has entered into an agreement with Staked, an industry leading blockchain services provider, to run its Ethereum 2.0 validator.
Tim Ogilvie, Staked’s CEO, said: “We are excited to be working with the team at Ether Capital on running its validator. Staked has built a reputation for ease and reliability for proof of stake services and we are grateful for the trust that Ether Capital has put in us.”
“This rally is largely driven by institutional buy-in,” said Tim Ogilvie, CEO of Staked, which provides institutions with infrastructure services for crypto assets. He pointed to hedge fund managers like Paul Tudor Jones and Stanley Druckenmiller including bitcoin in their broad investment strategies.
The bridge allows users to create synthetic (wrapped) ETH and ERC-20 tokens on Secret Network that can be used with full privacy, at lower cost. This is not only a huge improvement for privacy-conscious users of Ethereum and DeFi applications; it’s a critical step along our path to building a more secure, more accessible, and more usable global open financial ecosystem.
We are excited to be a bridge operator and look forward to continuing to support the Secret Network.
Staked currently supports 30+ different proof of stake crypto assets including Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot, Algorand, Tezos, Dash, Orbs, Horizen, Livepeer, Factom, Terra, Kava, Cardano, v.systems, Secret Network, Edgeware, and Celo.
