Uniting Stakers, Diversifying Nodes
To promote the diversification of Ethereum nodes, Ethereum Singapore brings you a sharing session on staking! We will be looking specifically at solo-staking and how individuals can do so from the comfort of their own homes.
This is in support of the "Run a Node" grants round, which is organized by the Ethereum Foundation's Ecosystem Support Program.
This event will be a hybrid one, where we will have a physical sharing followed by a virtual one. Individuals who are located in Singapore are welcome to come down to the physical venue where we will also be streaming the online sharing.
To our friends from the region, we can't wait to see you online!
Join us for an insightful sharing by industry experts and experienced solo-stakers!
