This innovative staking platform allows users to create a validator and retain custody of the key with a deposit of only 4 ETH! We found it so easy to create and import a Stakehouse validator, we created a <a href="https://youtu.be/UsvJszWgAAU" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">video</a> that shows you how to do it step-by-step.This innovative approach combines Blockswap’s LSD with SafeStake’s DVT, offering users the chance to experience liquid staking and the benefits of DVT together for the first time!*Important Note: When you create a Stakehouse validator, your 4 ETH deposit will be matched with another 28 ETH from the liquid staking pool. You will need to initiate the deposit to the Ethereum Deposit Contract, and your ETH will not be deposited into any SafeStake smart contract at this time.<h2 id="header-5">SafeStake AMAs</h2>SafeStake participated in several AMAs in June with the following communities:Decentralized Club - June 1 - <a href="https://twitter.com/dens_club/status/1664300705216352263?t&#61;mkFb1-4fNJxDuS8iGqP8CQ&amp;s&#61;19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">listen to the recording</a>GEEK CHAT -  June 6Crypto Rush - June 21 - <a href="https://t.me/parastateofficial/335" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">listen to the recording</a> <img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/221629874d84412fa112952b151e4f79.png" />If you missed these AMA sessions, they were packed with lots of information about DVT and SafeStake.
