About Ebunker
Ebunker is a non-custodial Ethereum staking provider founded in Hong Kong in 2022 that runs validators for individuals and institutions. Users keep withdrawal keys and seed phrases themselves; Ebunker holds only validator keys capable of signing blocks and cannot touch principal. Deposits can deploy multiple 32 ETH validators in one call through its batch staking contract, audited by SlowMist, or go through the official Ethereum launchpad. Nodes use MEV-Boost for block-building revenue, and execution layer rewards are split across active validators via PPLNS.
Services fall into individual staking, institutional arrangements and an API that lets institutions outsource validator operations without handing over private keys; the API covers status queries, 0x01 to 0x02 credential conversion and consolidation, plus creation, deposit and exit for SSV distributed validator clusters and Obol clusters. Consensus layer rewards carry no fee, with charges only on part of execution layer rewards, unlike liquid staking protocols that take a management fee; client mix and node operations remain the provider's decision.
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.
Ethereum staking weekly data for October 19, 2026 put Ebunker's staking APR at 2.59%, above the 2.49% seven-day average for stETH, with a validator effectiveness score of 99.4%, 0.9 points above the 98.60% network average, and a 0.80% market share. A week earlier the figures were 2.18%, 98.8% and 0.79%.
Ebunker manages more than USD 1.5 billion, runs nodes for Lido, EtherFi and SSV, and offers custodial and non-custodial staking to large institutions and high-net-worth clients. Network-wide staked ETH rose from 43.68 million to 43.85 million during 2026, a 36.33% staking rate, with the exit queue briefly under three days.
Ebunker will differentiate on validator effectiveness and geographic distribution, grow institutional custodial staking share, and adapt clients and operations to upcoming Ethereum upgrades.
