Smoothly

Hey EthStaker fam. We're sunsetting /smoothly over the next 3 rewards cycles. Please head to discord to see our full announcement.

Smoothly started as a simple idea: make EL rewards fair, transparent, and easy to opt-in to, especially for solo stakers. Since launch, we’ve prioritized security and public-good alignment over growth and learned a ton running this in the wild. Since the Pectra activation, we've seen consistent validator exits due to many solo stakers opting for type 2 validators, which aren't fairly taken into account in Smoothly V1. 

Over the last year we explored a more ambitious V2 design, linked below, which takes into account MaxEB and does not require an oracle. Despite real progress, V2 has been blocked by an overly complex multi-proof system due to the various ways builders can pay proposers. Check out the design here:

We'd love to support any team looking to push forward with this design! Reach out if you're interested. Happy to answer any questions you guys have!

Just exited /smoothly, big thanks to @kody.eth for running this for so long. If anyone wants to build a smooth pool that is EigenPod compatible, LMK, I'd be interested in joining.

Ty ser! Pushing for someone to pick up our v2 design. 

In the meantime, we could always get a (trusted) group together and throw our fee recipient to a /splits contract.
