- Currently, the Ethereum network’s staking rewards rate is 3%, which is little lower than the 3.5% rate in July.
- Ethereum’s staking yields are lower than those of other significant Layer 1 protocols, according to analysts.
Following a minor decrease from slightly over 3.5% in the first quarter of 2024, the Ethereum network’s staking rewards rate remained near 3% in the third quarter.
The Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate, a measure of the typical yearly profits that validators on the Ethereum network earn, is approximately 3.1% annually.
Staking incentives are still smaller than those of other proof-of-stake chains, according to analysts. Ether staking rewards are now lower than those offered by other prominent Layer 1 protocols including Cosmos, Polkadot, Celestia, and Solana, which range between 7% and 21%. It’s important to remember, though, that modest staking incentives lessen inflationary pressures on a particular network.
According to a report by analysts at Kaiko Research, the Ethereum validator backlog has not lasted more than four days since August and has averaged less than a day since then, which is a significant difference to the 45-day peak in June 2023.
A notable decline has been observed in the daily quantity of Ethereum validators in the entrance queue. The number of Ethereum validator admission queues has dropped to 473 from a peak of over 95,000 in mid-April 2023.
Additionally, according to data cited by Kaiko Research, inflows into Lido’s stETH, an Ethereum staking provider that accounts for roughly 28% of the overall staked ETH market share, have increased somewhat this year, although they are still less than they were the previous year.
Growth in the supply of Lido, the biggest Ethereum staking service, has stalled as staking inflows have decreased. With an average of 9.6 million ETH this year, Lido’s staked ETH (stETH) supply has stayed steady, suggesting a general slowdown in the quantity of ETH put in the Beacon Chain contract.
