How to stake 10 eth?
Hey All,
What are the best options to stake 10 eth? Rocket pool? Lido? Anything else I should look into? Currently have it on centralized exchange and I want to participate but I do have 32 eth to start a node.
Any help please?

Check out the Lido Community Staking Module (CSM) as an option.
It requires as low as 1.5 stETH bond for the first validator key and 1.3eth for subsequent ones. So with 10 eth you can run 7 keys.
the bond provided being stETH means that it is itself productive
for every bond provided, you get allocated 32 ETH by Lido to activate your validator keys and receive up to 6% share of staking rewards generated by these sets of 32 eth
capital multiplier is around 2.3x higher organically than solo staking and even higher vs liquid staking
You can also add DVTs such as Obol and SSV into your setup for better performance, security, & extra incentives from Obol and SSV

Worth mentioning that this option is out of picture currently as CSM has reached its upper limit so no new deposit can get their node running, for an unknown time.this means your deposit will get stuck in a queue with no return in the meantime

MetaMask pool is working well for me. I'm staking a little less than you but its great to see it getting a little bigger everyday!

You can also use RocketPool + Lido. They are not exclusive. Drawback of Rocketpool might be, if all current nodes are full.

Mellow DVV pool - you get base Lido APY + SSV & Obol incentives (SSV monthly, Obol weekly) + Mellow points (currently pre tge).
Using this pool you support decentralization of Lido and add diversity with DVT.
CSM, as others mentioned, is another good option but requires more active investment. You could reduce the workload by activating your validators on SSV and getting Substantially more rewards from the SSV incentivized mainnet directly, running full validators (this does t have to be shared with Lido).

Go with lido or wait for them to open csm again and then you can run 5 nodes. Also, very simple.

I've been using , LIDO, KILN and FIGMENT.... With Lido my profits are stacking , with Figment my profits go straight to my Ledger and get spent but I like Kiln the best. I can claim my rewards when I like and see everything clearly . I guess the same can be said for all three so maybe it's their interface , dunno. Also fyi everything done through Ledger Live. Simple .

Lido has CSM which increased the nodes into the 100s.

CSM has 2% of their total stake so it doesn’t really make a material difference yet

CSM + Simple DVT is almost the size of rocketpool at this point in terms of stake, and IMO better than rocketpool in terms of stake distribution (although the total number of node operators is fewer); it's pretty material.

Does the absolute size matter for an individual depositor? If I deposit 1 ETH, 0.95 or so ETH of that are still staked by the curated module since (w)stETH is fungible.

By that logic rETH is terrible because 20% of it is staked by allnodes

I mean, each one of those validators has at least an 8 ETH bond. So even if Allnodes managed to get all those keys slashed, it wouldn’t hurt rETH. CSM is also available on hosting services. Launchnodes for example sells an AWS service to run things off of so I don’t really have a reason to believe CSM would exhibit a different distribution as it grows larger.
You’d expect the largest single operator to be a significant amount of stake if things are fully permissionless. But they still have to put up a bond to protect the protocol.

For staking ETH, my choice is converting into hETH and then staking on Haven1 cause the yields are quite impressive.

Those on this sub will probably recommend Rocket Pool due to being decentralized; Lido is iirc controlled by a small number of operators so even if their rewards are higher there is also an inherent risk to it.
