A collaboration is underway between hundreds of Node Operators, Gravita Protocol, and StakeWise Vaults. This partnership aims to enable users to stake Ethereum (ETH) with a highly decentralized set of node operators and easily borrow USD against their staked ETH. The new offering is expected to be available soon.

Ethereum's Institutional Growth Balanced with Core Mission

While institutional adoption of Ethereum continues to grow, the community emphasizes maintaining focus on the network's fundamental vision: - Building a **decentralized system** resistant to corporate control - Developing **trustless infrastructure** for finance, AI, and internet - Ensuring the network remains **incorruptible and open** The increasing institutional interest, while positive, should not overshadow Ethereum's core mission of creating unstoppable, decentralized infrastructure. Staking plays a crucial role in maintaining this vision. *The work continues as the ecosystem balances growth with decentralization principles.*
