Ether.fi is routing roughly $3 billion in ETH — about 40% of its 2.8 million staked ETH under management — into ETHGas' blockspace marketplace over a three-year term. The deal locks ether.fi into ETHGas' High Performance Staking Service and grants ETHGas exclusive use of its preconfirmation platform for the duration. This dwarfs ETHGas' previous $800M in total validator commitments from its Polychain-led seed round and gives the blockspace futures market its largest single supply-side anchor. For ether.fi stakers, it's a bet that preconfirmation yield on top of existing restaking returns justifies concentrating this much liquidity with one infrastructure partner.
