Liquid Staking Takes on Paris: PBW’23

Geode’s conference travels continue, and this time we’re headed to the capital of France for another great gathering. Paris Blockchain Week is one of the most anticipated events on the crypto conference calendar, and the 2023 edition promises to be even bigger and better than previous years. The conference brings together blockchain enthusiasts, developers, investors, and industry leaders from around the world to discuss the latest trends, share knowledge, and explore new opportunities in the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.

Geode has always recognized the value of attending crypto events like Paris Blockchain Week, as it presents an amazing opportunity to showcase our innovative liquid staking infrastructure solutions to new people. This year in particular the timing of the conference is fortuitous. With our imminent launch on Ethereum, this year’s event presents an exceptional opportunity for Geode to expand our reach to potential partners.

A Unique Space for Networking

Events like these are particularly popular with attendees because they provide opportunities to network, and establish better connections with industry peers. Since digital communication is such a significant part of this industry, the chance to interact in person is always valuable, and a single encounter can be instrumental in advancing partnerships or investment prospects. Participants are also often highly motivated to build new relationships and conduct business at these sorts of events, as they have invested both time and resources in attending the event.

Thus, we are seeking to meet as many people as possible, and explain the various ways that Geode’s offerings benefit projects, institutions, and node operators. With our public and private staking pool architecture, all these different entities can derive benefits from liquid staking, and our rapid integration process means getting started is easy.

PBW is hosted in the Carrousel du Louvre, in the center of Paris.

An Unprecedented Liquid Staking Ecosystem

With Geode’s fully configurable staking pools, organizations not only gain a new source of revenue, they help boost validator diversity on the network as well. Since they always retain full control of their staking pool, they minimize the 3rd party risks associated with centralized staking solutions. Plus, with our flexible public and private pool architecture, pool owners can implement restricted access, set fees, or offer their own branded liquid staking derivative token, everything is up to each pool owner.

Geode’s public pools allow any organization to deploy their own customized liquid staking solution, with complete control over fees, node operators, and even the branded staking derivative they want to offer. They can also opt not to offer a derivative at all. Furthermore, Geode’s private pools give more secure options for projects and institutions, where only white-listed addresses can stake, enabling interesting new use cases. These private pools allow organizations to stake treasury funds, perform KYC/AML, or create exclusive staking pools, and they retain full control over its access.

Node operators can also benefit by using Geode. This is because Geode provides a marketplace for node operators and organizations, allowing them to locate and utilize each other’s services easily. Once integrated, node operators remain a part of Geode’s staking infrastructure, continuously providing them with an excellent opportunity to attract new stake to manage. Ultimately, Geode’s infrastructure benefits both node operators and organizations, offering them a convenient and efficient way to interact with each other.
