“# ConsenSys and Securosys launch new long-term Ether staking protocol <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

ConsenSys, a New York-based Ethereum\u00a0software company, has partnered with a cybersecurity firm by the name of Securosys to launch a more secure staking solution for Eth2.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new product, dubbed Codefi Staking, provides \u201cinstitutional staking tools for Ethereum 2.0,\u201d whose beacon chain launched on Dec. 1 after securing the minimum deposit contracts. By partnering with Securosys, ConsenSys says it was able to create a more secure method for long-term Ethereum staking.<\/p>\n

The enhanced security is achieved by removing the \u201cchallenges of operating independent validator nodes,\u201d ConsenSys said. Securosys provides multiple key control mechanisms to ensure that stakers never relinquish control over their Eth2 withdrawal keys.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining Codefi with Securosys Hardware Security Modules our customers achieve the highest level of security and convenience when moving from Eth1 to Eth2,\u201d says Kuhan Tharmananthar, the product lead at Codefi Staking. <\/p>\n

Ethereum 2.0 brings the promise of proof-of-stake, or PoS, a major milestone for the smart-contract platform. The transition from the current proof-of-work consensus to the desired PoS isn’t without challenges. To validate transactions on Eth2, stakers need “assurance that they are safe from all types of attacks and failures during the first transition phase,” the company says.<\/p>\n

Under PoS, users can stake tokens to earn rewards for validating blocks. In the case of Ethereum, holding 32 ETH entitles users to participate in the network and obtain a reward.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, more than 2.87 million Ether (ETH) had been sent<\/a> to the Eth2 deposit contract. <\/p>\n

Ethereum\u2019s price has been trekking upward at a faster rate than Bitcoin over the past year. Last month, the cryptocurrency peaked at a new all-time high above $1,470 before backtracking. It now trades below $1,400 on major exchanges. <\/p>\n
