The Trust entered into an amended and restated staking addendum with Coinbase, Inc. on April 13, 2026. The agreement governs the terms under which the Trust may instruct Coinbase to stake, validate, or delegate Ethereum assets held in its vault. The Trust retains full discretion over the amount of assets to stake or unstake at any time. Coinbase is required to maintain segregated vault accounts and ensure staked assets are not commingled with other clients' assets. The agreement outlines specific protocols for 'Approved Validators' and establishes a framework for managing staking rewards and potential slashing risks.
