Collaboration Between Node Operators, Gravita Protocol, and StakeWise Vaults
馃 Staking Game-Changer Incoming
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.
100s of @NodeOperators + @gravitaprotocol + StakeWise Vaults = an epic collab 馃殌 Stake ETH with a hyper-decentralized operator set and easily borrow USD against your stake - coming soon 鈱涳笍
We are excited to begin the public testnet beta for our @stakewise_io integration in partnership with @gravitaprotocol starting RIGHT NOW! Only verified NodeSet operators can participate, so make sure you apply at nodeset.io/join if you haven't already.
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.*
StakeWise Node Operators Vault Reaches 25K ETH Milestone
The StakeWise Node Operators Vault has accumulated over 25,000 staked ETH within weeks of launch. SWISE token holders are now voting on a proposal to enable 100% LTV (Loan-to-Value) minting of osETH from the Vault. Key points: - Proposal aims to accelerate vault growth - Follows successful migration of 459 validators - Previous migration request handled ~15,000 ETH **Vote Links:** - [Forum Proposal](https://forum.stakewise.io/t/swip-32-allow-100-oseth-minting-in-the-nodeset-private-vault-on-ethereum/1905) - [Snapshot Vote](https://v1.snapshot.box/#/stakewise.eth/proposal/0x2382a6cbb479ae1dedc96998e9af9e408a6fe681bc2f392174b5ee19c7d45b14)
StakeWise Private Node Operators Vault Shows Remarkable Growth
StakeWise's Private Node Operators Vault has demonstrated significant growth in Total Value Locked (TVL): - April 26: 100 ETH - May 8: 13,500 ETH This represents a 135x increase in just 12 days, making it one of the fastest-growing staking pools on Ethereum. This follows StakeWise's overall growth trend, with their total protocol TVL reaching 326,336 ETH in April. [Track StakeWise metrics on Dune Analytics](https://dune.com/guru16tx/stakewise)
StakeWise Boosted osETH-ETH Pool Update
The new Boosted osETH-ETH pool on Balancer is delivering strong returns, with 80% of yields now in ETH following reduced SWISE emissions. Key features: - Automated deployment of spare ETH capacity to Aave for lending yields - Incentive mix: 75% osETH, 25% SWISE (BAL rewards coming soon) - Enhanced capital efficiency compared to legacy pool The pool transition began April 28th with new incentives structure. LPs can now migrate from the legacy pool to access these improved yields.

Balancer V3 Launches with Aave-Boosted Pool Integration
Balancer has launched its V3 protocol featuring a new Aave-boosted osETH-waWETH pool. The update introduces **Boosted Pools** that allow liquidity providers to earn yields from both AMM trading fees and lending markets simultaneously. Key features: - Buffer system enables efficient gas usage for regular swaps - Assets outside the Buffer earn additional yield through Aave and Yearn - Current USDC supply rates on Aave around 5%, with historical peaks of 15% The integration aims to maximize LP yields while maintaining trading efficiency for Ethereum users.
