As the launch date of Ethereum 2.0 approaches, an important issue in the staking mechanism is starting to be discussed in the community: the one-way nature of stake deposits.
Prospective stakers in Ethereum 2.0 Phase 0 will not be able to withdraw or transfer their stake until after the rollout of Phase 1, which could take years. Ahead of this difficult choice, Darma Capital is one of several companies planning to offer intermediated staking that would let users have access to their capital.
