ETH is in the process of transitioning to a full proof of stake mechanism. This shift began with the launch of the Beacon Chain in 2020 and is intended to increase security and reduce energy consumption compared to the previous proof of work system. The full merge, which will complete the transition, is expected to bring further improvements and efficiencies to the Ethereum network.

In addition to validators, other users can contribute to the consensus process by delegating their ETH to a trusted validator.

Another option for participants is to join staking pools, where they can combine their ETH with others to meet the 32 ETH requirement.

For those who do not possess enough ETH to become validators or join pools, there is still a way to stake.
