EthStaker

1/ Mainnet countdown begins! Ethstakers, I’m excited to share our 12-week countdown to Smoothly’s mainnet launch! First time hearing of us? We built a tool which gives solo stakers access to the mean reward from block proposals! Check out the details at  https://docs.smoothly.money/latest-updates or keep reading!

Decentralizing Ethereum @ Obol. Founder of Smoothly, an MEV smoothing pool for solo stakers

3/ We’re excited to announce our oracle operators, a coalition of trusted community members and entities (and Myself and Noah):

▪ Anthony Sassano, Founder of The Daily Gwei
▪ EthStaker
▪ Cryptomanufaktur
▪ Aestus Relay
▪ Kody Sale (Founder of Smoothly)
▪ Noah Figueras (Co-founder of Smoothly)

4/ A Glimpse into the Future: SLIDE
There's something else on the horizon that's just as exciting. An initiative that, at its core, is designed to onboard smaller stakers — we call it SLIDE: Social Layer Incentives for DEcentralization. Think pooling together more than just block proposals. More on this soon.

▪️ Our oracle operators (identities below) now reach consensus on the state of validators via p2p communication.
▪️ Over 12wks, we'll extend the duration between state updates to 21 days.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm still forming my opinion on smooth v. burn. The sheer volume of mev has incentivized research around extraprotocol projects like mev-share and intents, which I'd say are beneficial to the ecosystem. If you're not subscribed check out

This should prove hugely valuable to solo stakers, and I hope a successful launch paves the way for later protocol-level enshrinement of MEV smoothing, using Smoothly as the benchmark. Very excited about this upcoming launch.
