Ethereum Foundation Launches 70,000 ETH Staking Program, Vault Revenue Model Fully Upgraded

February 24 News, the Ethereum Foundation has officially launched its vault staking program, with the first batch of approximately 70,000 ETH already staked. The staking rewards generated will be directly funneled back into the Foundation's vault. This move aligns with its previously announced vault management policy, marking the start of the institutional-level native Ethereum staking strategy into practical implementation, and also strengthening the long-term sustainability of funds. In terms of technical architecture, the Foundation has chosen the open-source distributed signer Dirk and verification coordinator software Vouch as a combined solution. Dirk deploys signing nodes across different regions to reduce single points of failure and enhance system resilience; Vouch supports a hybrid configuration of multiple beacon clients and execution clients to mitigate potential network risks caused by client centralization. Additionally, its validator infrastructure adopts a minority client strategy and combines custodial resources with self-built hardware deployments across multiple jurisdictions to improve decentralization and operational stability.
