Ethereum Foundation Collaborates with Bitwise to Deploy Onchain Staking Solution with Open Source Infrastructure
Bitwise Asset Management has announced a significant step within the Ethereum community: the company will develop and operate on-chain software for the Ethereum Foundation’s staking fund plan. This initiative aims to help the Ethereum reserve fund generate yields through staking activities on the network.
Large-scale staking and strategic goals
The Ethereum Foundation has officially launched its staking program with an initial deposit of 2,016 ETH. However, the long-term strategy is to stake approximately 70,000 ETH (worth over $140 million at current prices). This scale reflects the foundation’s commitment to actively participate in the Ethereum ecosystem while balancing financial operations.
Professional on-chain tools: Dirk and Vouch
To manage this staking plan, the Ethereum Foundation will utilize professional-grade software tools Dirk and Vouch—two open-source platforms specifically designed for complex staking requirements. This on-chain infrastructure enables the foundation to perform staking transactions securely, transparently, and efficiently.
This partnership between the Ethereum Foundation and Bitwise marks a step forward in leveraging open-source infrastructure to manage large-scale DeFi activities on the Ethereum platform. It also highlights the growing trend of major financial institutions trusting on-chain technology for staking operations.
