MetaMask 增加「池化質押」以實現更便宜的以太坊驗證

新功能旨在擴大質押的可及性，此前該功能需要超過 10 萬美元的投資。但該項目仍缺乏其他質押平台提供的功能。

MetaMask, the leading cryptocurrency wallet for Ethereum, is set to roll out a "pooled staking" feature, making it more accessible for users to contribute to the blockchain's security without the need for a full validator node, which typically requires an investment of over $100,000. However, the project still lacks some features offered by other staking platforms.

MetaMask 是以太坊領先的加密貨幣錢包，將推出「池化質押」功能，使用戶可以更輕鬆地為區塊鏈的安全做出貢獻，而無需完整的驗證器節點，這通常需要超過100,000 美元的投資。然而，該專案仍缺乏其他質押平台提供的一些功能。

According to a Consensys statement, MetaMask users will now be able to participate in Ethereum staking, a popular crypto investment strategy where users park their tokens in an address on the blockchain to earn rewards in return. For "proof-of-work" blockchains like Ethereum, staking serves as the primary mechanism for securing the network.

根據 Consensys 的聲明，MetaMask 用戶現在將能夠參與以太坊質押，這是一種流行的加密貨幣投資策略，用戶將其代幣存放在區塊鏈上的地址中以獲得回報。對於像以太坊這樣的「工作量證明」區塊鏈，質押是保護網路安全的主要機制。

“With Pooled Staking, MetaMask users now have an easy way to stake ETH in enterprise-grade validators while maintaining full control of their ETH, earning rewards and making Ethereum more secure,” said Matthieu Saint Olive, senior product manager at MetaMask developer Consensys.

MetaMask 開發商Consensys 的高級產品經理Matthieu Saint Olive 表示：「透過池化質押，MetaMask 用戶現在可以輕鬆地將ETH 質押到企業級驗證器中，同時保持對ETH 的完全控制，從而獲得獎勵並使以太坊更加安全。

Traditionally, staking on Ethereum requires users to tie up 32 ETH with the network, which currently amounts to approximately $112,000 at market prices. "Pooled" services like Lido, Rocket Pool and now MetaMask enable more users to participate in staking by bundling together assets from multiple individuals, allowing anyone to stake even if they don't have 32 ETH.

傳統上，在以太坊上質押需要用戶將 32 ETH 與網路綁定，目前以市場價格計算約為 112,000 美元。 Lido、Rocket Pool 和現在的 MetaMask 等「池化」服務透過​​將多個人的資產捆綁在一起，使更多用戶能夠參與質押，允許任何人即使沒有 32 個 ETH 也可以進行質押。

MetaMask's staking feature could be a welcome addition for some retail traders who prefer to stake, trade and monitor their staking investment within a single interface.

對於一些喜歡在單一介面中進行質押、交易和監控其質押投資的零售交易者來說，MetaMask 的質押功能可能會受到歡迎。

Consensys, however, is playing catch-up with industry counterparts as MetaMask is not the first crypto wallet to introduce staking, and it lacks some of the functionality that has helped to differentiate incumbent pooled staking platforms.

然而，Consensys 正在追趕行業同行，因為 MetaMask 並不是第一個引入 Stake 的加密錢包，而且它缺乏一些有助於區分現有池化 Stake 平台的功能。

notably, Lido and Rocket Pool provide users with receipts on their deposits called "liquid staking tokens" that can be borrowed, loaned or re-invested into decentralized finance protocols. LSTs like Lido staked ETH (stETH) are among the more heavily traded assets in crypto markets.

值得注意的是，Lido 和 Rocket Pool 為用戶提供了稱為「流動質押代幣」的存款收據，可以藉入、出借或再投資到去中心化金融協議中。像 Lido 質押 ETH (stETH) 這樣的 LST 是加密市場中交易量較大的資產之一。

MetaMask will not be offering its own LST as part of its pooled staking service.

MetaMask 將不會提供自己的 LST 作為其池化質押服務的一部分。

According to Consensys, the new staking feature will not be available in the U.S. or UK.

據 Consensys 稱，新的質押功能將不會在美國或英國推出。

"The team aims to bring it to market in these regions as well," the company said in its statement.

該公司在聲明中表示：“該團隊的目標是將其推向這些地區的市場。”
