ETH 2.0 staking is a process where ETH holders can participate in the network by locking up a certain amount of their tokens to become validators. This involves running a validator node and participating in the validation of transactions and block creation, earning rewards in return. The minimum requirement for staking is 32 ETH, and validators need to maintain their online status to avoid penalties.

The Ethereum network operates on a "Proof-of-Stake" consensus mechanism, which differs from the traditional "Proof-of-Work" model used by Bitcoin.

In addition to the minimum ETH requirement, validators must also set up and maintain their own nodes, which can be a technically challenging and time-consuming process.

In a Proof-of-Stake network, validators stake their ETH as a deposit to show their commitment to the network's security and integrity.
