Ethereum is one of the renowned crypto tokens and blockchain networks that was initially launched in the year 2015. And within two years of its launch, it has became the second largest cryptocurrency and blockchain network in the world of crypto. If you are also a crypto enthusiast then you definitely know about the recent upgrade of the ETH network to ETH 2.0, where the consensus mechanism of PoW (Proof of Wait) is shifted to PoS (Proof of Stake).

After this upgrade, staking eliminates the mining process and becomes an essential component to validate and secure the Ethereum network. Along with that, it also allows crypto traders and investors to earn exciting rewards by staking ETH as collateral in different ways. If you also want to participate in ETH 2.0 staking then dive with us in our further content.
