Ethereum 2.0 Validators Are Making 3.2% Compounded Yearly Interest

2020-12-23 17:38

The Ethereum 2.0 Beacon Chain launched in December, and network validators are making a tidy sum securing the network. But is it the best offer going?

So far, a significant portion of the total Ethereum supply is locked in the deposit contract.

According to Flipside Crypto, a business intelligence firm for blockchain organizations, validators are earning 0.002792 Ether per day. That’s approximately $1.69, according to the current market price.

To qualify for a validator node, a user must stake 32 ETH in the staking contract. So, assuming a node has 32 ETH and is receiving 0.002792 Ether per day as its reward, it is generating 0.008725% in daily interest.

When compounded across a year, the annual return rate equals approximately 3.2% for each node (holding 32 ETH minimum).

Celsius, a lending platform that combines centralized and decentralized loans, currently offers a 5.5% yearly interest rate on ETH. The platform offers a 7.21% rate if you agree to receive your interest in its native CEL cryptocurrency.

At the current rate, if a user lends 32 ETH on Celsius rather than the Ethereum 2.0 chain, the user would theoretically make an additional 0.736 ETH, worth $445 at the current Ether price.

In addition, Ethereum 2.0 users will not be able to access their staked funds until phase 2 of the migration occurs. This could take an additional two years, according to MyEtherWallet CEO Kosala Hemachandra.

What is Ethereum 2.0?

Ethereum 2.0 is the launch of a structurally different chain from the original protocol. Originally, Ethereum used Proof-of-Work (PoW), similar to Bitcoin, to verify transactions.

With ETH 2.0, Ethereum has moved to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) verification method that allows users to secure the network without advanced computing hardware.

With PoW, users need to dedicate computing power to validate transactions. In the case of PoS, users have to stake their currency on the platform for validation.

Users who falsely validate will face a penalty. The user can lose a portion or more of their initial stake. Pro Ethereum pundits argue that PoS verification is a step in the right direction for the project and its co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

This new verification mechanism intends to make transactions faster and ultimately cheaper for the end-user.

A CBC Casper Tutorial

In order to help more people understand “the other Casper” (Vlad Zamfir’s CBC Casper), and specifically the instantiation that works best for blockchain protocols, I thought that I would write an explainer on it myself, from a less abstract and more “close to concrete usage” point of view.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

Notes on Blockchain Governance

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

Виталик Бутерин предложил упростить механизм PoS в Ethereum

В своём недавнем обращении Виталик Бутерин предложил идею упрощения работы блокчейна Ethereum. Главная идея заключается в уменьшении количества подписей, которые требуются от валидаторов. Этот шаг поможет значительно облегчить и упростить функционирование сети, а также снизить комиссии за газ.

Capitalization of PoS altcoins fell to $254b

The total market value of cryptocurrencies using the proof-of-stake consensus algorithm decreased by 7% at the end of Q3 to $254 billion. Such estimates are provided by the Kraken-related platform Staked.
