Staking Pool
A collective pool where multiple users combine their tokens to increase staking rewards and reduce barriers to entry.
Explained Simply
Staking pools allow smaller holders to participate in network validation by combining their tokens with others. Running an Ethereum validator independently requires 32 ETH — a staking pool lets you contribute any amount and earn proportional rewards. Pool operators handle the technical infrastructure while participants earn passive income. Popular staking pool providers include Lido, Rocket Pool, and exchange-based pools from Coinbase and Kraken. Fees typically range from 5-15% of rewards earned.
