Staking service provider Figment has partnered with the crypto security and compliance firm Solidus Labs to launch a new tool called Staking Guard. This tool is capable of clearing malicious or illegal transaction blocks on Ethereum, providing compliant blocks to validators working with Figment to ensure they do not validate non-compliant transactions. This collaboration is crucial for the future development of staking, especially amidst global regulatory authorities tightening supervision on such activities, such as the US Ethereum spot ETF and MEV abuse under MiCA.
