The MetaMask non-custodial wallet team has added a new feature that allows users to participate in validator staking without needing to run a node.

This new option can be found in MetaMask Portfolio and has been developed in partnership with Consensys Stake, a platform that provides software and hardware support.

By staking 32 ETH or multiples of it, users can become validators and help secure the network, without having to worry about complex hardware requirements, maintenance, or software updates.

According to the team, Consensys Staking currently manages over 33,000 validators with an uptime of 99.99%, representing 4% of the total ether being staked.

This seamless and hassle-free staking option is now available for all MetaMask users.
