About Ebunker
Ebunker is an Ethereum staking infrastructure provider based in Asia, operating as one of the largest node operators in the region with over $1.5 billion in assets under management. Its core business includes running validator nodes for major protocols like Lido, EtherFi, and SSV, as well as offering both non-custodial and custodial staking solutions for institutional and high-net-worth clients. The company also operates Ebunker Pool, a non-custodial ETH staking pool, and Ebunker Venture, an Ethereum-focused investment arm.
Ebunker addresses a key market pain point: the high barrier to solo staking, which requires 32 ETH and technical expertise in node maintenance. By pooling resources and providing professional node operations, Ebunker enables broader participation in Ethereum staking while maintaining non-custodial principles, meaning users retain control of their funds. Its competitive edge lies in operational efficiency—recent data shows Ebunker validators achieving a 99.3% effectiveness score, above the network average of 98.57%, and consistently higher APR compared to Lido's stETH.
Over the past six months (March to September 2026), Ebunker's staking APR fluctuated between 2.62% and 3.12%, with market share ranging from 0.79% to 1.15%. The company expanded its services to support multiple assets beyond Ethereum, including non-custodial staking for other PoS chains. No significant negative events were reported during this period, though the broader staking industry faced challenges such as withdrawal queue delays on the Ethereum network, which affected all stakers equally.
Ebunker, as an Ethereum staking infrastructure provider, has key development milestones including: early in-house development of batch staking contracts supporting simultaneous staking of multiple validators, significantly lowering the barrier for user participation. Subsequently, it launched eNode Core, a one-stop validator management tool integrating one-click deployment capabilities for execution layer and consensus layer clients, MEV-Boost, and other components. In advancing decentralization, Ebunker proposed the Lido SDVTM integration proposal, deeply integrating Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) into eNode Core with compatibility for Obol and SSV networks, enabling home stakers to participate in network validation with lower technical barriers. At the infrastructure level, Ebunker deployed multi-region nodes across APAC and Europe, operating with hybrid architecture and DVT clusters, effectively reducing single points of failure and correlation risks. These milestones mark Ebunker's continuous evolution from a pure staking service to a distributed validator infrastructure provider.
