Just two weeks after the launch of Beacon Chain, there are now over 32,000 active validators earning 13-15% APR, and the deposit queue is growing! With MEW, you can stake ETH in just a few clicks and start seeing rewards as soon as your validator is active.

Keep in mind that currently there is a 14-day wait for a validator to become active. This is because, for security reasons, only 900 validators can be created per day. If you staked recently, please be patient – you'll start seeing rewards soon!

Only three weeks ago we wondered if Beacon Chain would launch on time, but now it’s clear that Eth2 is getting strong support from the crypto community with over 1.5 million ETH/ 1 billion USD now locked in the contract.

Staking ETH with MEW takes just a few clicks, no complicated setup required, and Staked will maintain your validator for you. So if you have ETH to stake, maybe it’s time to join the community 😊

2020 has been a rough ride, to put it mildly 😣, but we are grateful to be together as a team - even if it's over zoom - doing what we love: helping both new and experienced users discover and navigate Ethereum! 🚀

Happy Holidays, MEWfam! Here's to a better 2021! 🎄🎉

If you staked ETH in MEW web, you can now view your stake status right in the interface. Just go to ‘Stake on Eth2’ on the DApps page and select ‘Status' on top.

Haven't staked yet?

Here's how to do it in MEW web using any supported wallet (including most hardware wallets, mobile wallets using WalletLink and WalletConnect, and MetaMask): https://kb.myetherwallet.com/en/dapps/stake-eth2-web/

As ETH price goes up, we are excited to welcome back users who have been away from crypto a looong time 🤗

Interfaces changed, token swaps were missed, addresses look different, it's all confusing…

If this sounds familiar, our refresher course can help:

Continuing with our crypto refresher, here are the 5 most common support inquiries and the solutions for - and ways of preventing - those issues.

Whether you are accessing a wallet after a long time, or creating a new one, these tips will be useful.

To all our hardware wallet users coming back after a few years: if the last time you accessed was on the older interface, you may have seen a derivation path screen that looked like this one.

Are you accessing now and having trouble finding the expected addresses? If so, a wrong derivation path is probably the reason. For most users, the default path in the current interface will work, but if it’s not working for you, take a look at this old list and see if it jogs your memory.

For more troubleshooting, take a look at the hardware wallet section of our ‘wrong addresses article’:

And to learn more about HD wallets and derivation paths, check out this one:

We understand that many users coming back to crypto only have a private key or keystore file to their old wallet, and we suggest offline access as the best option for getting to those funds.

The next step? Transfer funds to a more secure wallet ASAP!
