[PRESS RELEASE – Madrid, Spain, January 30th, 2025]
Stakely, a Spain-based provider of non-custodial staking services and blockchain infrastructure, has introduced Simple CSM, a solution designed to simplify Ethereum validator operations. Built on Lido’s Community Staking Module (CSM), Simple CSM enables users to participate in Ethereum staking without requiring technical expertise, while Stakely manages the setup, performance optimization, and ongoing maintenance of the validator.
Ethereum validator deployment
Simple CSM enables users to deploy Ethereum validators without technical complexity. Stakely manages the setup, maintenance, and optimization, allowing participants to engage with Lido’s Community Staking Module (CSM) efficiently. This solution is designed to lower entry barriers for those seeking to stake ETH independently.
Unlike traditional staking solutions, Simple CSM removes the need for complex server management. Users can provide the required bond (2.4 ETH for the first validator, 1.3 ETH for subsequent ones) and subscribe to a flexible plan—starting at just $5 per month—payable in fiat or cryptocurrency.
According to Paco Ducha, Head of Ethereum at Stakely:
“Understanding the technical challenges faced by most users was crucial in creating Simple CSM. This solution makes Ethereum staking through Lido CSM safe, simple, and accessible. It unites top-tier quality and security standards in the blockchain industry by combining the strengths of two major ecosystem players—Lido and Stakely.”
Simple CSM Key Features
Stakely’s Simple CSM has been carefully designed to offer Ethereum stakers a seamless experience by combining ease of use, top-tier security, and reliable performance. Some of the key advantages include:
- Higher rewards: Earning approximately 7% APR, potentially benefiting from both native staking rewards and stETH collateral incentives.
- Transparent pricing: Flexible subscription plans (monthly, quarterly, or annually) with no hidden fees. Cancel anytime.
- Ease of use: Intuitive platform designed for users with no technical expertise—launching validators takes just a few clicks.
- Flexible payments: Choosing between fiat or crypto.
- Support: Stakely provides round-the-clock assistance via email and Telegram.
- Security and reliability: With $1.2 billion TVL, 5+ years of blockchain expertise, staking insurance, and industry-leading security certifications, Stakely ensures a robust infrastructure.
To enhance transparency, Stakely has launched a Lido CSM rewards calculator, allowing users to estimate potential earnings before deploying validators.
