Staking

Steps

Users can stake their ETH and start earning rewards in just 3 simple steps. Simply connect your Ethereum wallet and:

  1. Navigate to the Stakearrow-up-right page

  2. Input how many validators you wish to create (in multiples of 32 ETH)

  3. Sign the transaction in your Ethereum wallet

And you're done!

When will I start earning rewards after staking my ETH?

Newly deposited validators will only start earning rewards after they become active. This takes:

  • the entry queue, based on the number of validators entering the system

  • 2048 blocks (6 hours 48 minutes) to ensure that deposits do not end up on a reorged block

  • 64 epochs (6 hours 48 minutes) before a validator can start voting

Assuming no entry queue, the minimum delay before a validator starts attesting is therefore 13 hours and 36 minutes.

An estimate of the activation time for new validators based on current network conditions can be found on the Stakearrow-up-right page. You can check the estimate for a specific validator in the Monitor -> Validatorsarrow-up-right tab by clicking on the "Details" button for that validator.

Why do I need 32 ETH to create a validator?

Each validator has to be secured by 32 ETH, a requirement is imposed by the Ethereum network. Visit the Ethereum FAQarrow-up-right for a more detailed explanation.
