Metamask, the company that provides the Web3 wallet, made an announcement that the business has introduced Ethereum (ETH) staking capabilities to the wallet’s range of functions via the use of the services provided by Lido and Rocket Pool.
According to the statement, there has been a recent uptick in staking enthusiasm among the Web3 community. On the other hand, it often suffered from complicated user interfaces, which prevented wider adoption of the technology. This is something that the latest staking beta for MetaMask hopes to change.
In a nutshell, the two suppliers of liquid staking, Lido and Rocketpool, issue two rebasing and repricing wrapped variants of Ethereum (ETH) known as STETH and RETH. These versions are known as STETH and RETH respectively.
Users have the option of keeping this STETH/RETH token in their possession until the time when they want to withdraw their stake, putting it up as collateral in a decentralized financial transaction or even exchanging it for another token (back to ETH or another ERC20).
MetaMask said:
“In this post-Merge world, there is a growing demand for simple staking services that will ultimately secure Ethereum. Whether you’re a seasoned staker or a sideline watcher, Metamask Staking offers an intuitive way to jump in and stake your [ethereum] for rewards.”
In the event that they desire to make a swap, users of MetaMask Staking may navigate themselves to the MetaMask Swaps interface directly from the Staking interface. According to the company, Swaps compiles data from decentralized exchange aggregators, market makers, and DEXs so that customers like you may more easily compare pricing for their swaps.
