Staking is a $60bn industry with Ethereum leading the way while also reducing its carbon footprint by 99.95%. The amount of ETH being staked continues to rise despite the programmatic decrease in staking yields with over 14% of all ETH staked.

While other chains have a greater percentage of staked assets, the many use cases of ETH make the opportunity cost of staking much higher.
