ETH-Staking-Service-22Cap-Signaling VS safe-smart-account

I tried to help u/superphiz with his 22% limit (see: my GitHub page where I tried to help community engagement). Outside of a few token responses by projects that would never reach 22% anyway, nothing. Funnily enough, to Lido's credit (yucky!) they were actually one of the few projects to take the request seriously, although it was shot down by governance pretty handily. I don't care enough to link the thread (unless you really want me too, I can), but Lido governance made it clearly it doesn't really think they are doing anything wrong. They view themselves as a Union type entity. And while I've saved my hear the struggle by not keeping up with it... I'm doubtful much of their internally proposed solutions to help mitigate risk made it to pass, or were super low hanging fruit.

If I became a HOP delegate, this would be my first time doing any type of delegated governance work. So I can understand some hesitation in delegating to a new coming. However, between the general knowledge throughout my history in the space and my involvement in other projects I think I can do a good job at it. Some examples where I've been part of projects to better the Ethereum ecosystem include content creation for Support1559.org (no longer functional, so here is the GitHub referencing that as part of a bigger EIP1559 signaling project), ethsunshine.com (commits), and ethmerge.com (joint commit). I also took a stab an aggregating commitments to 22% staking caps (GitHub Page), as well as am one of the multisig members of the EVMavericks project. Those have all had varying degrees of success, but they have been steps in my goal of being more than a passive investor. As noted above, I think trying out the delegate space is sort of a new mountain to conquer, hence my hemming and hawing about it broadly.

HERE is the current list of staking entities that have either committed, not committed, or haven't responded. As always, any suggestions, content to add, or Pull Requests are welcome!

As always, the list can be found here of entities who have not made commitments yet.

In the meantime, our work is not done. There are still 20 other staking entities with over .1% of network penetration that have not committed to capping at 22%. Over the weekend I created a page to track all the staking entities commitments - https://github.com/BobRossiETH/ETH-Staking-Service-22Cap-Signaling. Getting a big list of committed entities will go a long way to putting pressure on the Lido DAO to commit as well. It will be a harder sell for someone to limit themselves if no one else is doing it...

Quick update since last night. What started with just Stakewise now has Rockepool and Swell Network publicly committing to keep their Validator share under 22% of the network! Progress can be tracked here - https://github.com/BobRossiETH/ETH-Staking-Service-22Cap-Signaling

Recently, I had a chance to work on an interesting task where I needed to integrate the Gnosis Safe multi-signature wallet into the existing application.

Resolv's Protection Protocol™ would implement the highest level of security on all fronts. Our multi-sig wallet is created using Gnosis Safe's industry-standard infrastructure. The keys for said wallet would be distributed amongst the most trusted players in the space (i.e. Kleros, Polygon). This is done so that no one party has full control over the custodian wallet holding everyone's assets. As a result, our customers can rest easy knowing that not one person could run away with the entire pot. We'd also use AES 256-bit encryption to make sure user data is kept safe and inaccessible by third parties.

Prefer self-custody. If you don't feel comfortable, then start with small amounts on a trusted CEX (Coinbase eg.) and then move to self custody. A wallet should be open-source, audited, offers security bounties, is Battle -tested and easy to use. For small funds, use metamask. For big funds use hardware wallet, https://airgap.it (with old Smartphone/device) or a smart contract multi-signature wallet (https://safe.global).

There is the exception of https://safe.global though.

Here a few links in case you want to try out some different wallets: * https://safe.global * https://metamask.io * https://trezor.io * https://onekey.so * https://keyst.one

But if you insist, you can use https://airgap.it or http://safe.global. There the company influence is much less

Self-custody on https://safe.global wallet. Safe Wallet is the gold standard for large funds on EVM-compatible chains. It's audited, open-source, bad bounty programs, battle tested, supports virtually all defi and has multi-sig. What more to you want? Ah, did I forget to mention, that it is formally verified and had the correctness of the smart contract code proven? 😎

If you're only holding coins and not moving them frequently, then a paper wallet might be good. Just generate your seed phrase and address in an air-gapped device (e.g. old phone) and send ETH to that address. If you want a bit more flexibility of usage you can use https://airgap.it or an hardware wallet such as Trezor, Keystone or OneKey. And the ultimate gold standard is to use a Safe Wallet (https://safe.global). It's a multi-signature wallet and is even formally verified to be correct. It's the best choice atm.

Or even better just https://safe.global for a secure, audited, formally verified, battle tested and open source smart contract multi-signature wallet. It has arguably the best security guarantees you can have atm.
