MetaMask 增加“池化质押”以实现更便宜的以太坊验证

新功能旨在扩大质押的可及性，此前该功能需要超过 10 万美元的投资。但该项目仍然缺少其他质押平台提供的功能。

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 是以太坊领先的加密货币钱包，将推出“池化质押”功能，使用户可以更轻松地为区块链的安全做出贡献，而无需完整的验证器节点，这通常需要超过 100,000 美元的投资。然而，该项目仍然缺乏其他质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.

根据 Consensys 的一份声明，MetaMask 用户现在将能够参与以太坊质押，这是一种流行的加密货币投资策略，用户将其代币存放在区块链上的地址中以获得回报。对于像以太坊这样的“工作量证明”区块链，质押是保护网络安全的主要机制。

“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 开发商 Consensys 的高级产品经理 Matthieu Saint Olive 表示：“通过池化质押，MetaMask 用户现在可以轻松地将 ETH 质押到企业级验证器中，同时保持对 ETH 的完全控制，从而获得奖励并使以太坊更加安全。”

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.

传统上，在以太坊上质押需要用户将 32 ETH 与网络绑定，目前按市场价格计算约为 112,000 美元。 Lido、Rocket Pool 和现在的 MetaMask 等“池化”服务通过将多个人的资产捆绑在一起，使更多用户能够参与质押，允许任何人即使没有 32 个 ETH 也可以进行质押。

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.

对于一些喜欢在单一界面中进行质押、交易和监控其质押投资的零售交易者来说，MetaMask 的质押功能可能会受到欢迎。

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 正在追赶行业同行，因为 MetaMask 并不是第一个引入 Stake 的加密钱包，而且它缺乏一些有助于区分现有池化 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 为用户提供了称为“流动质押代币”的存款收据，可以借入、出借或再投资到去中心化金融协议中。像 Lido 质押 ETH (stETH) 这样的 LST 是加密市场中交易量较大的资产之一。

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

MetaMask 将不会提供自己的 LST 作为其池化质押服务的一部分。

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

据 Consensys 称，新的质押功能将不会在美国或英国推出。

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

该公司在声明中表示：“该团队的目标是将其推向这些地区的市场。”
