The DVT Home Staking Curriculum
Last updated
Last updated
This is a knowledge base for Ethereum solo stakers (both native and DVT) designed with non-technical users in mind. It serves as a comprehensive curriculum for aspiring solo stakers.
With a standardised curriculum, organisations can fairly assess the proficiency of new solo stakers across the board using simple quizzes and on/off-chain deliverables when facilitating grants and incentivised test programmes.
This curriculum incorporates DVT, and native home staking methods so new solo stakers can launch their first home-based ETH validator from as little as 1 ETH.
While I hope that anyone who cares about keeping the Ethereum network decentralised will find this guide helpful, the way it is written caters to the following audiences of non-technical people:
Aspiring solo/home staker trying to go from zero to one
Existing solo/home staker looking to refresh your knowledge.
This curriculum has 2 major segments:
Segment 1: Practicing on the Testnet (current segment)
Segment 2:
This curriculum is designed collaboratively by ETHStaker and Stakesaurus, featuring Diva Staking with a grant from The Staking Foundation as a public good.
