Calculate the staking ROI for Ethereum 2.0. The number of Ether staked will double in over five years.

The Ethereum project's transition to Proof of Stake (PoS) has been brewing for years, with core developers including co-founder Vitalik promoting the benefits of Ethereum 2.0 and Staking. Recently, an Ethereum information website has launched a calculator tool for users to estimate the return on investment for Ethereum 2.0 staking.

The Ethereum project's move towards Proof of Stake (PoS) has been brewing for years, with core developers like co-founder Vitalik teasing the benefits of Ethereum 2.0 and Staking. Recently, an information site on Ethereum released a calculator tool for users to estimate the returns from Ethereum 2.0 staking.

According to the website, this tool is based on a spreadsheet from the tech company ConsenSys Codefi and calculates returns based on staking 32 Ether (ETH), with results as follows:

It can be seen that after staking for 5 years, the amount of Ether is already 62. Simply by holding for over five years, one will quickly achieve a 100% return. According to the data, there will be a return rate of 279.31% after ten years. Additionally, users can freely choose the currency value (e.g., USD) to predict relative profits.

This tool is based on the following variables, and any changes to these settings after the launch of Ethereum 2.0 may affect the accuracy of returns:

  • Staking amount setting - Each validator node can only stake up to 32 Ether, requiring multiple validator nodes to stake more than 32.
  • Validator node uptime - The more uptime, the more rewards.
  • Ether price - Used to calculate the value in fiat currency; this tool assumes a fixed Ether price.
  • Total staked amount - If validators stake a disproportionately high amount of Ether in circulation, there will be fewer rewards.
  • Network average uptime: At least 2/3 of validator nodes need to remain online.

Although this is not the first time a calculator tool has been created, with the Ethereum 2.0 testnet officially mining the genesis block in April, as of the deadline, the number of active validators has reached 22,960, making the calculator tool more noteworthy.

Comparing to the popular Tezos staking rate, which is maintained at around 6-7%:

Finally, through data from the website, it is found that the number of addresses holding more than 32 Ether continues to increase.
