Staked ETH Yield

Definition

Staked ETH yield is the return earned by participants who lock up their Ethereum tokens to secure the Ethereum proof-of-stake network. This yield represents the rewards distributed to validators for performing network operations, such as proposing and attesting to new blocks, and for participating in the consensus mechanism. The amount of yield is influenced by factors such as the total amount of ETH staked, network activity, and the protocol’s issuance rate. It serves as an incentive for individuals and entities to contribute to the network’s security and decentralization.
