INTRODUCTION

Since it allows every user to contribute to network security and earn rewards by verifying transactions, Ethereum staking has swiftly gained popularity among ETH holders. Over $22 billion worth of ETH is currently staked, or 11% of the total supply.

The top cryptocurrency exchanges now provide Ethereum staking. Convenience is the main benefit of using exchanges. Since most crypto investors purchase their ETH on exchanges, you'll frequently discover low or no minimum staking requirements. You may start staking immediately after buying any ETH.

Staking on exchanges has drawbacks in terms of security and costs. Your cryptocurrency is not stored in a private wallet when you stake through an exchange. Your staked Ethereum may be at risk from dangers like platform hacking and government activities. The long-term commitment is the only drawback to staking Ethereum if there is one. Because the blockchain doesn't currently enable it, stacked ETH cannot be withdrawn. With tokens that can earn staking rewards but can also be withdrawn or used in many of the ways you might use un-staked ETH right now, liquid staking offers a solution. Typically, liquid staking providers exchange your Ethereum token for a receipt token that you can store as proof of ownership in a private cryptocurrency wallet and use for trade while the original token keeps generating rewards.

Liquid staking offers the benefits of staking without restrictions. Stake it, spend it, sell it, or even use your stETH or rETH as collateral for on-chain DeFi lending.

METHODOLOGY

The queries here have a variety of methods to answer the different parts of the questions. Initially, to answer the questions, the Average ETH staked, the Median, the Minimum, and the Maximum ETH staked were calculated along with their USD values. Then the cumulative number of the stakers and the staking events were also considered. Then there is the time for addressing the staking platforms and hence the total staking events, the stakers, and the volume of the staking actions in ETH and USD was also accounted for in the chart. This is followed by segregation depending on the number of users in different categories such as one platform or more. The total number of depositors in each platform is also addressed. Finally the trend of the staking actions of the ETH tokens is charted with the weekly data and the charts include the timely analysis of the stake actions, the stakers, and the staked volume in ETH and in USD. All these are also accompanied by a cumulative counterpart. Also, the previous platforms were considered and the average of the ETH staked, the median, the maximum ETH staked and the minimum staked ETH is charted along with the cumulative counterpart.

The pie diagrams are another representation of the cumulative count and the two charts that shows the calculated amount of the Average and the Median of the ETH tokens staked are charted here!!!!.

The maximum staked and the minimum of the staked volume which is the cumulative sum is charted for here!.

The chart here indicates the aggregate number of the stakes and the staked events in the ETH tokens are accounted.

The chart here is an aggregate of the platforms and the cumulative staking events in the network.It is seen that Direct staking has been more popular among others in the platform.

The chart here shows the platform and the stakers in the network and it is seen that both direct staking and Lido has almost the same staking users than others.

The chart here shows the platforms and the volume of the staked ETH in both Ethereum and their corresponsing value in $USD is charted for here and it indicates the hike of the volume for both direct and Lido staking platforms

The segregation of the usage of the users with the count of the staking platforms is charted here and it is seen that most users have staked in either one of the staking platforms while a few in two platforms and only less people in three platforms.

The pie diagram shows the platforms and the total depositors and it is seen as the above trend in the case of Direct and Lido staking platforms.

The trend here shows the staking actions over time in all the platforms and their cumulative trend which is always hiking!!!.

The chart here is an indication of the stakers over time and it indicates that the stakers almost maintain a similar trend over time and the cumulative increases as expected!!!.

The chart is a clear indications of the staked volume over different time and it has the chart in both ETH value and the USD value of the same where both showing the same trend!!!.

The charts here are a representations of the average staked and the median amount over different staking platforms.

The final representations here represents the maximum and the minimum staked ETH over different staking platforms and it also indicates the USD$ value corresponding to all the parameters!!!.
