"It's 10pm, do you know where your mnemonic is?"

Duration: 00:49:51

Speaker: Adrian Sutton, Oisín Kyne, Paul Hauner, Vasiliy Shapovalov

Type: Panel

Expertise:

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

Many stakers set up their validators nearly two years ago, and will soon need to revisit them to obtain the rewards they have earned since. This panel provides a refresher for what stakers did, and why they did it. It discusses protecting mnemonics and keys, and what can be done if they are misplaced or compromised. Bringing together experts on validating key creation, protection and use, this is a wide-ranging discussion that will be useful for all stakers and potential stakers.

The Future of Liquid Staking

Liquid staking is now a major factor is the staking economy and staking protocol design. I'm going to lay out how I think it's going to interact with future DeFi, protocol development, MEV, interchain communication, L2s and modular blockchains. How liquid staking protocols will have to change with the blockchain world, and how to make them to shape themselves better.

How to Design DVT While Ensuring Non-Correlation

The proof of stake Ethereum specs are designed to encourage decentralization by punishing centralization. In this session, we will discuss how to design Distributed Validator Technology in a way that minimizes correlation risk by using design choices across distributed key generation, middleware, networking topology, and versioning. We'll also describe why creating a trust-minimized, non-custodial, and non-correlated architecture is the most healthy way to enable multi-operator staking.

Promoting Small and Independent Stakers: Q&A with the Ethereum Staking Protocols

The Node Operator Association presents a roundtable discussion on promoting small and independent professional stakers. Topics include operator qualifications, application processes, costs, risks, each platform's unique advantages, and their vision for the future of Ethereum staking. Panelists: Darren Langley (Rocket Pool) Vasiliy Shapovalov (Lido) Oisin Kyne (Obol) Jordan Sutcliffe (Stakewise) Ariel Zimroni (SSV Network)

Like a Kindergeburtstag - Ethereum Node in under 3 minutes with Stereum

Stereum is a tool to manage the process of setting up & maintaining an Ethereum node for the user with a heavy focus on self sovereignty, privacy and flexibility. With Stereum you are capable of setting a node up in under 3 minutes. Around Bogota we hope to have finished our full release version (currently in beta - https://github.com/stereum-dev/ethereum-node/milestones?state=closed) and would like to talk about the development, the challenges and why a node is valuable infrastrucutre

Everything a Solo Staker Should Know for the Next Phase of Ethereum

Solo stakers have a lot on their plate. Keeping up with every single change, how it will affect them and what steps they need to take to ensure their operation runs smoothly is a full time job! In this talk we are going to detail very clearly everything that they should be doing, everything that's coming, what tools and projects are coming to the rescue and what they are expected to do.

How to Build a Decentralized Ethereum Liquid Staking Protocol?

Liquid staked Ethereum is a reliable source of yield and is fast becoming a key primitive in DeFi. Come hear from Rocket Pool about their experience designing a decentralized Ethereum liquid staking protocol. How do you create a decentralized protocol for staking? What are some of the design trade offs in token design? What tools are available today? What challenges exist due to current L1 structures? What opportunities exist in future upgrades?

How to Run a Validator From Zero on Resource-Constrained and Low Powered Devices

Our main goal is to contribute to the network decentralization by making it easier and affordable for regular users to run nodes (and staking) on resource-constrained devices as well as helping to test the next major Ethereum upgrade (The Merge). In this workshop we will show from scratch how to install and set up an Ethereum validator node, from running the Execution Layer + Consensus Layer combo to creating the keys and setup for the validator in order to get it up and running.
