The State of Proof-of-Stake Infrastructure
On this page

The proof-of-stake landscape has evolved dramatically over the past year. This article examines the current state of PoS infrastructure, emerging trends, and what the future holds.

Market Overview

Total value staked across all PoS networks has surpassed $500 billion, with Ethereum alone accounting for over $100 billion. The growth of liquid staking protocols has further expanded the market.

Key trends include the rise of distributed validator technology (DVT), increased adoption of MEV strategies, and growing institutional participation. These developments are making staking more accessible and profitable for all participants.
