Successfully staking with Blox on the Beacon Chain
We are off to a great start! As of time of writing 87 validators have deposited on mainnet using Blox, and the Beacon Chain has been chugging along quite smoothly. 🚞 🚞 🚞 We’ve still got lots going on though, as we bring you new features, decentralized staking pools, and anticipate each coming Phase of Eth2.

Although things have slowed down slightly since the hype around genesis, there is currently $1B locked up in the Eth2 deposit contract which represents over 1% of total ETH supply.

— The # of ETH2 Validators are: (@eth2validators) December 17, 2020
47,321 with 1,527,781 ETH deposited. (1.02B @ 664 per eth). This is 289% above 16,384 validator min and represents 1.34% of ETH supply.
Active Validators: 35,338
Queue: 11,983 (~14 days to activate)
This is a major milestone and more and more validators are joining daily. If you make your deposit now, it will take around 2 weeks to officially start staking given the length of the cue ahead of you. Our opinion, its worth the wait 😉
There have been some slashing events going on over the last couple of weeks (not for Blox!!), mainly due to improper set up on the part of the individual validators or services that were slashed, and not to do with network as a whole as it has been remarkably stable since launch.
