Research, guides, news and events on Ethereum staking for institutions.

- [Correlated slashing in numbers: what it costs and what lowers it](https://develp.co/insights/correlated-slashing-in-numbers/) (2026-10-26): A slashed validator loses more when more of the network is slashed in the same 36 days. The correlation penalty takes 3% of its balance at 1%, 15% at 5% and all of it at a third or more. On mainnet, 594 validators had been slashed in total by October 22, 2026, and two of the largest events on record involved 75 and 39 validators. For 10,000 ETH, a slashing of its validators alone costs about 25 ETH; with 5% of the network in the same window, about 1,516 ETH. Spreading a stake across operators with different setups lowers how much of it any one cause can reach.
- [How institutions stake ETH: native, liquid and vault routes compared](https://develp.co/insights/how-institutions-stake-eth-native-liquid-vault/) (2026-10-26): Native staking, liquid staking and staking vaults differ in who can start an exit, how long getting ETH back takes, what the books show and where concentration builds. In every route, validators leave through the same protocol exit queue; a liquid pool can pay a redemption from ETH it already holds when it has enough. On October 22, 2026, a 50,000 ETH native exit would have taken up to about 10.5 days, and up to about 24 days at the peak of October 2. The route comes before the choice of operator, and the questions at the end work for any provider.
- [Meet the Develp team at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, November 3 to 6](https://develp.co/insights/meet-the-develp-team-at-devcon-8-in-mumbai/) (2026-10-25): The Develp team will be at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, November 3 to 6, with a booth at the Jio World Centre. The team would like to meet organizations planning to stake ETH, those weighing a second operator, and treasury teams at foundations, DAOs and L2s. Topics include setting up before the first deposit, adding a second setup and the Glamsterdam upgrade. You can book a time with the team through the contact form.
