HashKey Cloud announced a partnership with the Ethereum Applications Guild (EAG) during the Hong Kong Web3 Festival. The collaboration introduces an ETH Staking support solution for the EAG community. The initiative aims to provide EAG community members and the broader community of Ethereum builders with transparent and verifiable staking infrastructure.

While ensuring users maintain full autonomous control over their assets, the solution uses a specific contribution program to direct a portion of staking rewards toward supporting the growth of EAG and the native Ethereum application ecosystem. This partnership represents an extension of HashKey's long-term commitment to the Ethereum ecosystem and provides a new pathway for supporting the development of the application layer. This partnership leverages ETH Staking infrastructure to allow participants to support network operations while simultaneously contributing to ecosystem building.

According to the cooperation plan, HashKey Cloud will provide the underlying technical architecture and a dedicated frontend interface for the EAG Contribution Pool (DAPP). This DAPP will serve as the interaction interface embedded within the EAG official website or other partner wallets and platforms, making it easy for users to participate directly in ETH Staking. Node Model: Supports the 0x02 withdrawal credential node model.

Capacity: Minimum 32 ETH per node, supporting up to 2,048 ETH. Asset Control: Users maintain constant control over their assets. HashKey Cloud does not touch, control, or withhold user funds.

It only provides node operation and technical support. Reward Mechanism: When a node has not reached the 2,048 ETH limit, rewards are not withdrawn. Once it exceeds 2,048 ETH, rewards flow into the user's exclusive Withdrawal Vault.

Users can manually claim rewards or use the Claim & Contribute mechanism to automatically distribute rewards based on preset parameters. This partnership aims to bridge infrastructure capabilities with community needs. It provides professional, verifiable ETH Staking services while shifting ecosystem support from one-time donations or short-term grants toward more sustainable, ongoing contribution mechanisms. Moving forward, both sides will continue to collaborate on Ethereum application layer construction, encouraging more developers, communities, and institutions to participate in the long-term development of native applications.
