ETHGas is transforming the Ethereum experience with instant and gasless transactions. And it’s all thanks to Validators who join the ETHGas Blockspace marketplace.

Today, ether.fi joins that marketplace. Six EtherFi node operations are now running Validators on behalf of ETHGas, expanding validator supply and earning higher yields through blockspace commitments.

What EtherFi Is Doing

ether.fi is a non-custodial liquid staking and restaking protocol that lets users stake ETH and receive liquid tokens like eETH and weETH. Its restaking layer integrates directly with EigenLayer, allowing users to compound staking and restaking rewards while keeping control of their validator keys.

Recent months have seen ether.fi grow into one of Ethereum’s leading liquid restaking platforms, attracting institutional participants and scaling infrastructure through distributed validator technology. We’re excited to welcome EtherFi to the growing community of Validators that powers the ETHGas blockspace market.

What Having ether.fi on ETHGas Means for You

ETHGas turns Ethereum blockspace into a market where Validators sell future blocks and buyers secure predictable inclusion in them. This unlocks a new layer of efficiency for applications, institutions, and traders who need fast and reliable transactions.

With ether.fi joining ETHGas, you gain access to deeper validator capacity and higher-quality blockspace. That translates to:

• Expanded validator distribution and improved yield opportunities for institutions.
• Access to more predictable inclusion for time-sensitive transactions that improve UXs for developer applications.
• Smoother transaction performance, reduced volatility in execution, and gas rebates for end-users.

ether.fi Believes in a Gasless Future

ether.fi is also joining the Open Gas Initiative, ETHGas’s industry effort to remove gas fees from the user experience. The initiative will launch on Ethereum mainnet, with expansion planned for BNB Chain, Base, and Arbitrum.

The Open Gas Initiative enables protocols to create a smoother onchain UX that will help drive adoption, encourage high-value actions, and strengthen long-term user loyalty. Participating protocols, like ether.fi, will offset users’ transaction costs through gas rebates for certain transaction types, all with zero technical overhead. Soon, this experience will be tablestakes for web3. Find out more about the Open Gas Initiative here.

ether.fi's integration marks another step in building a unified marketplace for Ethereum’s most valuable resource — blockspace — while setting the stage for an instant and gasless future.
