Smoothly.money hit 50 subscribers! Many of the solo stakers who joined the pool are genesis validators. Feeling very fortunate to have the support of that cohort!

Thanks! My thoughts are incentives + trust + time!

been looking for a smoothing pool for my solo nodes. pros/cons:

dappnode:  
+ decent # of nodes
+ cheap bonding
- expensive comission (7% ugh)

smoothly
+ cheap commision (1.5%)
- expensive bonding: 0.5 eth per validator gets pricey quick, 0.5 eth per user would be doable
- # of nodes

I think that’s a fair take! Dappnode definitely has a first mover advantage. And yea, I agree, the 0.5E per validator could be improved by either making it per user or allow LST as a bond.
