[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE  Dear Gate.io users, we are pleased to offer you a zero-fee ETH2.0 staking service. Earlier this year, Ethereum switched from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) after The Merge upgrade, also referred to as Ethereum 2.0 (ETH2.0). In ETH2.0, you can become a validator by pledging at least 32 ETH to the network, participating in the generation of new blocks and transaction confirmation, and receiving block rewards and transaction fees. This process is known as staking. While several methods exist to stake ETH, some have drawbacks, such as high minimum stake amounts and the locking-up of funds. One of the ways to avoid these issues is by staking through centralized exchanges. And when doing so, it is crucial to choose a reliable exchange. Gate.io, as an industry leader with years of operations relating to the Ethereum blockchain infrastructure and secure asset management solutions, provides you with a convenient and flexible ETH2.0 staking solution which has zero fees throughout the process and instant redemption of up to 10,000 ETH at any time. To facilitate customer engagement in ETH2.0 staking, we've created a set of simple tutorials; the detailed process is as follows: ### 1. Obtain ETH2 tokens To participate in ETH2.0 staking on Gate.io, you must first obtain ETH2 tokens. You can get these tokens by committing ETH directly on the staking page or buying ETH2 on the ETH2/ETH and ETH2/USDT exchange market pairs. ### 2. How to obtain ETH2 tokens For users who urgently need to obtain ETH2, Gate.io provides multiple convenient ways. Firstly, you can pledge ETH to get ETH2 on the ETH2.0 Staking page. Secondly, you can purchase ETH2 through the ETH2/ETH and ETH2/USDT trading markets. ETH2 trading pairs (buy, hold, sell, or transfer any time): **- [ETH2 to ETH trading](https://www.gate.io/trade/ETH2_ETH "ETH2 to ETH trading")** **- [ETH2 to USDT trading](https://www.gate.io/trade/ETH2_USDT "ETH2 to USDT trading")** ### 3. Hold ETH2 to stake Gate.io guarantees that users holding ETH2 will automatically receive staking rewards. We will provide real staking rewards to ETH2 holders based on the net staking income (staking income minus staking costs). ### 4. Rewards and distribution methods Staking rewards will be distributed in the form of ETH2 tokens, intelligently distributed according to the user's 14-day average position, ensuring that you can flexibly obtain profits. ### 5. Staking rewards: annualized outlook The annualized rate of return for staking is closely related to the total amount of ETH 2.0. When the initial participation is small, the rate of return may be higher, but as the participation increases, it is expected to gradually stabilize and remain within the range of about 3-10%. We guarantee that 100% of the on-chain profits generated will be directly distributed to all users participating in ETH2.0 Staking, with zero fees throughout the process, providing you with an honest and worry-free experience. When redeeming assets, we guarantee that redemptions within 10,000 ETH2 will be credited quickly. At the same time, we allocate 100% ETH2 reserves to provide you with additional security and ensure the safety of your assets. With Gate.io's well-designed staking process, you can easily participate in ETH2.0 staking and enjoy effective distribution and management of staking rewards. There is no need to worry about complex technical operations; follow the above steps to enter the world of ETH2.0 staking and start the journey of digital asset appreciation.
