Chorus One has 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 highest MEV yields! This article provides a step-by-step guide on how you can stake any amount of ETH on Chorus One’s vault, known as MEV Max.
To start staking on MEV Max, visit here.
Stakewise v3, introduced by the Stakewise DAO in 2022, addresses the challenge of stake centralization on Ethereum. The traditional complexity of setting up validators, including a 32ETH minimum requirement, technical demands, and the risk of financial penalties, has led to a decline in individual ETH staking. Stakewise v3 combats this by enhancing its liquid staking solution with mini staking pools called "Vaults." These Vaults make it possible for anyone to set up and run ETH nodes, mint osETH, accept delegations, or delegate ETH across multiple nodes in ambition to promote decentralization and mitigate network concentration. Vaults are completely customized by their operators, according to the configurations of their choice, fostering a diverse marketplace of ETH staking solutions.
Chorus One is expanding the possibilities of V3’s Vaults by extending our MEV optimization strategies beyond a select group of customers to encompass ALL ETH stakers. We hold decentralization as a core value, and through our partnership with Stakewise, take immense pride in making our enterprise staking infrastructure to everyone - all without any minimum requirements to stake ETH.
Below, we provide a brief breakdown of the various methods available for staking ETH and minting osETH with Chorus One. For a comprehensive understanding of the benefits associated with staking your ETH on Chorus One's liquid staking pools, we've covered all the details here. Check it out!
Chorus One's public vault invites users to stake any amount of ETH and mint osETH, enjoying the benefits of our enterprise-grade staking infrastructure, proven MEV strategies, world-class security measures, and network expertise. Access Chorus One’s Public Vault here.
We will also have private, tailor-made vaults for clients seeking individual, personalized agreements for their staked capital. With these private pools, user assets stay separate and are not commingled with other Vaults, thus offering the perks of liquid staking with enhanced security and all the other benefits Chorus One has to offer—higher MEV yields, top-notch security, network expertise, and more. To launch Private Vault with Chorus One, please reach out to us at staking@chorus.one.
In addition, we're making liquid staking more accessible to both our existing and new OPUS customers. Soon, our public pool will be seamlessly integrated into our Staking Dashboard, allowing OPUS users to dive into liquid staking, mint osETH, and leverage it in DeFi or hold it—all with just a few clicks! Stay tuned for more updates coming your way soon!
Now, moving on the staking guide.

We’re immensely proud to support staking for Celestia - the first modular blockchain network that is optimized for ordering transaction data and making it available- as a genesis validator!
Celestia is a modular network that makes it easy for builders to launch their own blockchain by focusing solely on data availability. It allows developers to easily deploy blockchains on top of Celestia, much like deploying smart contracts. This accessibility empowers individuals to create their own unique rollups and blockchains, serving a multitude of purposes and ensuring scalability for a broader audience.
Celestia's data availability layer introduces innovative features like data availability sampling (DAS) and Namespaced Merkle trees (NMTs). DAS allows light nodes to verify data without downloading entire blocks, reducing costs compared to monolithic chains, while NMTs enable execution and settlement layers on Celestia to download transactions that are only relevant to them. Celestia offers its data availability layer to other chains for publishing data by paying for blobspace.
We've covered everything you need to know about Celestia in 10 questions - find it here!
As a permissionless network, Celestia uses Proof-of-Stake to secure its own chain. Like any other Cosmos network, users can help secure the network and engage in governance by delegating their TIA to a validator like Chorus One.

Introducing Chorus One's Bridge and Stake solution for DYDX
The DYDX token, part of dYdX v4, serves a multi-faceted role. It empowers users to actively engage in governance decisions while also playing a crucial role in maintaining the network's operations and enhancing its security by staking their tokens.
To use and stake dYdX v4 tokens, the dYdX Chain needs to onboard users from various platforms, including rollups, Ethereum L1, other app-chains, and centralized exchanges, to its Cosmos version. Traditionally, bridging tokens from Ethereum to the Cosmos ecosystem has been a cumbersome activity.
To simplify the process and make staking on Cosmos a breeze for our customers, we have developed a novel solution, using dYdX's original bridging smart contract, that enables you to move your DYDX tokens from Ethereum to Cosmos in a swift, seamless transaction. Not only that, our bridging solution also allows you to stake your DYDX in the same flow, providing added convenience and efficiency!
To recap, dYdX v4 is the latest iteration of dYdX, one of the most prominent decentralized exchanges and premier trading platform for cryptocurrency. The DEX initially launched as an Ethereum-based Layer 2 solution and has now made a significant move by transitioning to its dedicated blockchain, known as the dYdX Chain (or dYdX v4), built using the Cosmos SDK. We've compiled all the essential information about the chain, complete with an in-depth exploration of their move to Cosmos and Chorus One's ongoing involvement with dYdX since the very outset. Check it out here.
1- Bridge & Stake in just 1 transaction: Our bridge offers a remarkably streamlined process for transferring DYDX tokens from Ethereum to Cosmos, setting a new standard in the industry. But it doesn't end here. You can take it a step further by staking your DYDX within the same transaction, allowing you to bridge and stake your DYDX simultaneously in one smooth action.
2- Simplified Onboarding: Our solution enables users from diverse platforms, including rollups, Ethereum L1, other app-chains, and centralized exchanges, to seamlessly join the dYdX Chain on Cosmos.
3- Security Assurance: Our bridging solution is underpinned by a meticulously audited smart contract, ensuring a straightforward and secure staking experience for users. The bridge contract underwent a thorough audit during its development by dYdX. Additionally, when it comes to our frontend and backend, we've adhered to strict secure software development practices as outlined by ISO requirements.
With an understanding of why we developed this bridging solution and how it enhances your staking experience, let’s proceed to a step-by-step walkthrough of utilizing our bridge.
*Since DYDX inflation goes to traders, dYdX stakers, in contrast, will receive 100% of the trading fees that are paid out in USDC.
2. To begin staking DYDX tokens with Chorus One, visit Chorus One’s bridging page and connect a) the Ethereum wallet that has DYDX tokens and b) the target Cosmos wallet where you wish to transfer the tokens to.

The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and IPFS. The protocol lets anyone make blockchain data easily accessible by building and publishing public APIs called subgraphs.
The Graph has decided to move the protocol to Arbitrum since bringing the protocol smart contracts onto a Layer 2 network allows for gas savings (up to 26x), faster transactions and still being able to ultimately rely on the security inherited from Ethereum.
For example, Indexers could open and close allocations to index a greater number of subgraphs with higher frequency, developers could deploy and update subgraphs with greater ease, delegators could delegate $GRT with increased frequency, and curators could add or remove signal to a larger number of subgraphs - all actions previously considered too cost-prohibitive to perform frequently due to gas.
You can delegate anytime over the next few weeks.
Currently, the reward share is 50% on Ethereum and 50% on Arbitrum.
Rest assured that your funds will be completely safe after the migration, and any unclaimed rewards will also move to Arbitrum, once you have moved your delegation.
4. You will then be taken to the following page. Here, Click on ‘Transfer Delegation’.
5. The Receiving Arbitrum One Wallet Address will already contain the same address as your current Ethereum wallet.
6. For your convenience, consider sending a small amount of ETH to this wallet address through the official Arbitrum bridge at https://bridge.arbitrum.io if you lack ETH to cover gas expenses. As an optional precaution, you can perform any transaction with the wallet to verify your control over it.
7. Then, click on the ‘Transfer delegation’ button. Your transfer will be initiated.
8. You will then see a countdown appear. Once the countdown reaches Zero, the migration will be completed, and your delegations will have moved to Arbitrum!
Note - Going forward, you will still be able to manage your delegations from this portal. Just make sure you're on the correct network, "Arbitrum One".
Here’s a walkthrough guide by The Graph Foundation to help you with the migration.
