# Rewards

## How do I see my rewards?

Users can view their total lifetime rewards on the [Dashboard](https://eth.stakewith.us/dashboard) page or go to the [Monitor -> Rewards](https://eth.stakewith.us/monitor/rewards/auto) page for a detailed breakdown.

## How do I claim my rewards?

Ethereum's staking rewards are divided into two types: protocol rewards are automatically withdrawn to your address at regular intervals, while tips/MEV rewards have to be manually claimed by users.

Users who have connected their Ethereum wallet can view their unclaimed tips/MEV rewards on the [Dashboard](https://eth.stakewith.us/dashboard) page and claim them by following 3 simple steps:

1. Click on the "Claim Rewards" button
2. Click on the "Claim" button
3. Sign the transaction in your Ethereum wallet

## Rewards Breakdown

### Protocol Rewards

Validators receive [attestation](https://ethereum.org/developers/docs/consensus-mechanisms/pos/attestations) rewards for helping Ethereum reach consensus by voting on the correct state of the blockchain. These rewards form ETH's supply growth post-merge, and are divided equally between all active validators on the network every epoch (6.4 minutes).

Protocol rewards accrue inside your validator's balance and are automatically withdrawn into your address on a [regular basis](https://ethereum.org/staking/withdrawals#how-soon).

{% hint style="info" %}
Stakewithus does not take a fee on protocol rewards.
{% endhint %}

### Tips/MEV Rewards

Validators are randomly chosen to produce blocks, and receive payment for doing so in the form of gas tips and [MEV](https://ethereum.org/developers/docs/mev) for that block. These rewards are not fixed and depend on current network demand for block space. Stakewithus uses [MEV-Boost](https://boost.flashbots.net/) to maximize block proposal rewards for all users.

Block proposal rewards are deposited into a Stakewithus smart contract and have to be manually claimed by users via the [Dashboard](https://eth.stakewith.us/dashboard) page.

{% hint style="info" %}
Stakewithus takes a 25% fee on tips/MEV rewards.
{% endhint %}
