Hong Kong, April 20, 2026 — During this Web3 Festival, HashKey Cloud, a digital asset infrastructure platform under HashKey Group, announced a partnership with the Ethereum Applications Guild (EAG) to launch an ETH Staking support program for participants in the EAG ecosystem.
This initiative aims to provide EAG alliance participants and the broader Ethereum ecosystem builders with more transparent and verifiable Ethereum staking infrastructure services, while ensuring users maintain full control over their assets and directing a portion of staking rewards toward supporting the growth of the EAG and native Ethereum application ecosystem through specific contribution mechanisms.
This partnership further extends HashKey’s long-term commitment to building the Ethereum ecosystem and provides a new pathway for supporting application-layer development.
Reinvest ETH staking rewards into the ecosystem to establish a long-term support mechanism for the application layer.
EAG is a global nonprofit collaborative organization dedicated to advancing innovation, adoption, and real-world impact of Ethereum-native applications. By connecting developers, institutions, and other participants within the Ethereum ecosystem, EAG explores and builds open, transparent, and sustainable collaboration mechanisms for the application layer, driving long-term and sustainable growth of the Ethereum application ecosystem.
The concept of EAG stems from three years of continuous practice by "Shanhaiwu" focused on AI, the Ethereum ecosystem, and public goods, with the core aim of establishing longer-term, sustainable support mechanisms for the growth and real-world adoption of native applications. This collaboration seeks to leverage ETH Staking as an infrastructure capability, enabling participants to support the network’s operation while simultaneously providing ongoing support for the development of the application ecosystem.
Launch the EAG Contribution Pool to serve the staking needs of ecosystem participants.
Under the collaboration agreement, HashKey Cloud will provide a dedicated front-end interface for the EAG Contribution Pool (DAPP) and offer underlying technical architecture support. The DAPP will be embedded as a technical interaction interface on the EAG official website or other partnered wallets and platforms, enabling users to directly participate in ETH Staking.
The EAG Contribution Pool supports the 0x02 node mode, with a minimum of 32 ETH per node and a maximum of 2048 ETH. User assets remain under the user’s sole control; HashKey Cloud does not access, control, or hold any user funds, providing only node operation and related technical support services.
On the operational level, when a node has less than 2048 ETH, the associated rewards are not withdrawn; once the node exceeds 2048 ETH, the rewards are deposited into the user’s dedicated Withdrawal Vault. Users can claim their earnings manually or use the Claim & Contribute mechanism to automatically distribute them according to preset parameters.
Enable infrastructure services to support the application ecosystem through collaborative mechanisms for long-term development.
This partnership aims to further align infrastructure capabilities with ecosystem development needs: on one hand, providing EAG ecosystem participants with professional, transparent, and verifiable ETH staking services; on the other hand, promoting a shift in ecosystem support from one-time donations and short-term funding toward more sustainable contribution mechanisms.
In the future, both parties will continue collaborating on building the Ethereum application ecosystem, encouraging more developers, communities, institutions, and long-term contributors to participate and support the ongoing development and deployment of native applications.
