Simplified Staking: Stake Upto 8000ETH in One Transaction
Announcing our new feature that enables institutions and investors to stake upto 8000ETH in a one transaction on OPUS
September 25, 2023
5 min read

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.

The Challenge of Institutional Staking

The conventional process of staking entails a series of transactions, which becomes increasingly cumbersome as the amount of stake grows. Institutions have long sought a more straightforward method for engaging in staking without the complexity of multiple signatures. Enter our new feature, which enables institutions and investors to stake up to 8000 ETH in a single, seamless transaction. This approach transforms staking on OPUS, Chorus One's multi-chain staking solution that caters to both institutions and individual investors, into a simple one-click process, streamlining the experience and reducing staking limits.

In the upcoming months, we aim to further enhance this capability, allowing customers to stake more in a single transaction than what the industry typically offers.

Why Stake ETH on OPUS?

In addition to this streamlined process, complemented by OPUS's user-friendly staking interface, staking through Chorus One's OPUS offers a range of distinct advantages:

  • MEV Yields: OPUS is MEV-enabled by default, providing access to higher rewards.
  • Security: Chorus One employs a mix of hardware security models, FIPS 140-2 compliant vaults, and slashing protection logic to ensure the utmost security for your operations and delegations.
  • No Slashing Instances: Chorus One has never been slashed and provides coverage against any potential future slashing events.
  • Robust Reporting: Institutions, in particular, can benefit from detailed, real-time rewards reporting for their treasury management.

How to Stake ETH on OPUS?

Staking ETH on OPUS is made easy through two methods:

  • User-Friendly Portal: Investors and institutions can use the intuitive OPUS dashboard to stake ETH with just a few clicks. This dashboard provides a consolidated view of rewards, slashing history, MEV applicability, and more, all without requiring technical integration.
  • API: Institutions have the option to leverage our robust API to seamlessly incorporate ETH staking into their products for their users. In addition, this integration provides access to comprehensive reward reports, MEV applicability data, and node effectiveness metrics.

Here's a brief demo to guide you through the process of staking with OPUS:

Network 101: Sei Network
Exploring the exchange trilemma, and how Sei Network claims to solve it
August 15, 2023
5 min read

In an eagerly anticipated milestone, Sei Network has successfully launched its mainnet, and Chorus One is honored to be a part of this journey as one of the network's genesis validators. As we step into this new phase, we're excited to explore the novel attributes that set Sei apart—specifically, its approach to solving one of the most intricate challenges in the blockchain landscape: the exchange trilemma.

Understanding the Exchange Trilemma

The exchange trilemma is a puzzle that has long perplexed the blockchain community. It represents a delicate equilibrium where decentralization, scalability, and capital efficiency often seem to be at odds with each other. Achieving progress in one dimension often comes at the expense of the others, creating a complex balance that many blockchain platforms grapple with—especially when it comes to exchange platforms.

Sei Network: A Solution to the Exchange Trilemma

The history of blockchain has been marked by attempts to reconcile these seemingly conflicting goals. Striving to optimize one aspect can inadvertently hinder the advancement of others. This intricate interplay of decentralization, scalability, and capital efficiency has posed a formidable challenge, particularly in the context of building platforms for digital asset exchange.

This is where Sei Network enters the scene as a transformative contender poised to tackle the complexities of the exchange trilemma head-on. Through a strategic blend of innovation and architectural ingenuity, Sei aims to harmonize these seemingly divergent objectives.

Key Innovations Shaping Sei's Solution

Sei Network introduces a series of pioneering innovations that collectively challenge the trilemma:

  1. Swift Finality: With a mere 300ms for transaction finality, Sei sets new standards for speed and efficiency, ensuring swift processing and an improved user experience.
  2. Twin-Turbo Consensus: The Twin-Turbo Consensus mechanism pioneered by Sei redefines industry performance norms. This pioneering consensus model enhances scalability and throughput while adeptly handling high transaction volumes.
  3. Market-Based Parallelization: Sei's market-based parallelization empowers simultaneous transaction processing, a critical component that amplifies scalability and network efficiency.
  4. Native Order Matching Engine: By incorporating a native order matching engine, Sei optimizes trading execution, resulting in an enhanced trading environment and improved capital efficiency.
  5. Frontrunning Protection: Sei prioritizes user integrity by implementing robust frontrunning protection mechanisms. This safeguard ensures fair trading practices, curbing malicious manipulation.

In essence, Sei Network defies the constraints of the exchange trilemma by offering a comprehensive solution that enhances decentralization, scalability, and capital efficiency. Its monolithic architecture, innovative consensus mechanism, and pioneering features underscore its commitment to shaping the future of Layer 1 blockchains.

Recent Strides and Developments

In the months leading up to its mainnet launch, Sei Network achieved significant milestones. A noteworthy accomplishment was the launch pool initiation for the Sei Network on Binance, announced on August 1, 2023. This marked the prelude to the mainnet launch, solidifying Sei's presence in the blockchain ecosystem. Furthermore, the official listing of SEI, Sei Network's proprietary token, on Binance on August 15th added to the momentum.

Notably, Sei Labs secured $30 million in strategic funding across two influential investment rounds, supported by prominent backers including Jump, Distributed Global, Multicoin Capital, and more.

Sei Network's journey continues to unfold, marked by advancements and partnerships that reinforce its standing in the blockchain landscape. As a monolithic blockchain geared towards solving the exchange trilemma, Sei Network is carving its niche by defying traditional limitations and offering a promising future for decentralized trading.
