For Chorus One, 2023 was the year of OPUS, our novel multi-chain staking solution.

Following months of dedicated development aimed at simplifying staking for investors, we proudly unveiled our flagship product, OPUS, at the wake of this year.

As the year unfolded, our commitment to perfecting OPUS remained steadfast. We fine-tuned various details, actively sought and incorporated customer feedback, and focused on continuous improvement to ensure that staking is as seamless and stress-free as possible. Below, we share the major highlights from OPUS's journey in 2023.

Dive in!

Major Milestones
  1. In April, we launched OPUS, Chorus One’s multi-chain staking solution

OPUS is the simplest staking solution for investors and institutions.

  • It simplifies high-reward staking for exchanges, custodians, institutions and investors by offering a non-custodial solution that is easy to use.
  • With OPUS, you have the option to self-stake or provide staking services for your customers.
  • You can start generating rewards right away and scale your staking indefinitely.

  1. We simplified staking further by enabling staking up to 8000ETH in one, single transaction

When it comes to staking ETH, a recurring challenge arises - the requirement to sign multiple transitions for substantial deposits. This complexity has been especially a persistent hurdle in the path of institutional stakers. To combat this, we’ve devised a solution that streamlines institutional staking: the ability to seamlessly stake 8000ETH , or 250 validators in a SINGLE transaction.

  1. We launched ‘MEV Max - our liquid staking pool on Stakewise V3’

We launched our liquid staking pool on Stakewise V3, enabling individuals to stake any amount of ETH and benefit from Chorus One’s enterprise-grade staking infrastructure and industry-leading MEV yields!  

Additionally, staking on Chorus One’s pool enables users to unstake at any time, or utilize their staked ETH capital throughout DeFi.

A refresher on OPUS features

Next, we review the substantial product updates implemented in 2023, driven by customer requests and feedback.

  1. Live Reward Reports

The OPUS dashboard makes it incredibly easy for you to access comprehensive details about your staking rewards, including separate reports that highlight your Execution level, Consensus level, and MEV rewards individually.

In fact, Chorus One stands out as the only node operator equipped with an in-house quant team exclusively focusing on MEV and exploring the intricacies of MEV extraction through evidence-based research. We consistently fine-tune our infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration with the Ethereum MEV pipeline.

  1. 360 degree overview of ETH stake position

As a user, you can get a comprehensive 360-degree perspective of your ETH stake position on the OPUS dashboard. Instantaneously view your total stake, all-time rewards earned, and validator performance within seconds.

  1. Improved Unstaking Capability

OPUS offers customers a seamless, non-custodial experience for staking, earning rewards, rewards reporting, and unstaking. Our most recent product update from November makes the process of unstaking ETH as smooth as possible.

  1. Custom withdrawal address

The OPUS dashboard gives you the freedom to personalize your withdrawal address with the wallet you prefer. Unlike conventional staking platforms, where your connected wallet automatically serves as your withdrawal address, OPUS allows you to set your own preferred withdrawal address.

  1. Guided Staking flows

The OPUS dashboard provides step-by-step guidance throughout the staking process, making it easier for you as the user to grasp and navigate the entire staking journey.

  1. Automated rewards payout

By 2024, OPUS customers will receive periodic automated rewards that will be adjusted for fees on-chain. Say goodbye to manual invoicing!
