Thus, the continuous improvement and scaling of Ethereum, particularly through the integration of DeFi protocols such as EigenLayer, reinforces the attractiveness of staking. The high participation of stakers indicates a strong commitment to security and thus contributes directly to the success of the network.
Expressed in U.S. dollars, the previous chart is an unprecedented testament to the confidence and stability investors are currently placing in the Ethereum blockchain. The total value of all ETH deposits has reached a new record. The capex of about $30 billion also represents a new milestone in Ethereum's history.
The increase reflects not only the growing interest in staking, fueled by the hype around restaking, but also confidence in the long-term prospects of the smart contracts platform.
