Shapella hard fork was perceived to be a success. Consequently, Ethereum has become a fully-featured Proof-of-Stake blockchain that supports withdrawals from its staking contracts. You are empowered to withdraw your ETH as you please, with limited liquidity risk and no execution risk.

It heralded a new era of innovation for staking solutions in Ethereum, with Binance, Lido, Obol Network, and Eigenlayer launching new products and services in the staking space. As of now, 16% of all ETH is staked. If you wish to increase this percentage, here are various options you can look into:

1. Gemini offers 3.99% APR while Coinbase offers 3.57% APY. Screenshots provided below.
2. Lido Finance (https://lido.fi ) and Rocket Pool (https://rocketpool.net ) are popular DeFi options for staking ETH; they have soared to US$2 billion and US$875 million respectively this year. Lido lets you stake ETH tokens through its liquid staking protocol. Via this process, you will mint stETH tokens, which is a rebasing asset that accumulates staking rewards as ETH. StETH is designed to maintain a floating 1:1 price ratio with ETH, so when the stETH/ETH exchange rate falls below this ratio, it motivates new users to buy existing stETH from current holders rather than minting new stETH. On the other hand, Rocket Pool allows you to stake ETH in the Beacon chain in exchange for rETH tokens.
3. If you are into liquid staking, ether.fi (https://ether.fi ) is the only liquid staking protocol where stakers keep control of their keys while delegating staking to node operators and earning rewards. Its Early Adopter Programme lets you deposit your ETH, wstETH, rETH, cbETH, sfrxETH in exchange for rewards.
4. For more adventurous investors who want to use their ETH and liquid staking tokens (LSTs) like cbETH and rETH, they may want to explore Tai Money (https://app.tai.money). You will be able to deposit your LSTs as collateral to borrow the platform's native stablecoin, TAI, to be used in other DeFi activities. You will ideally have deep pockets because you are required to borrow at least 10,000 TAI in order to open a collateralized debt position on this platform.
5. Lybra (https://lybra.finance) is an Ethereum-based DeFi protocol that issues an interest-bearing stablecoin backed by liquid staking derivatives. When youdeposit their ETH or stETH, you mint the protocol's native stablecoin, eUSD and earn up to 7.2% APY.
6. For investors who are afraid that the protocol on which they stake their ETH will fail, they can look at Asymmetry Finance  (https://www.asymmetry.finance ) as an option. It has launched its safETH token, which represents a basket of liquid staking derivative tokens, including Lido’s wstETH, Rocketpool’s rETH, Frax’s frxETH, Stakewise's sETH2 and Ankr's ankrETH. Buying safETH tokens allows you to obtain a basket of staked ETH, thus diffusing the risk of staking with a single provider.
7. If you are knowledgeable about various liquid staking derivatives, you may be tempted to trade between them. LSDx (https://www.lsdx.finance/ethx) is the future of your DeFi endeavour as it allows you to swap one LSD for another. You can first explore this platform by staking stETH and rETH so as to learn the platform's native LSD token.
8. If you don’t mind embarking on smart contracts that require you to provide your computer resources and capital to “middleware” services, you may want to check out EigenLayer (https://www.eigenlayer.xyz ). It’s a restaking primitive that allows you to use your staked ETH to secure additional networks, thus helping you to secure multiple services with the same initial capital.
