Ethereum staking
With Ethereum staking, you generate yield with your ether (ETH) tokens. By staking your ETH, you contribute to the decentralisation of Ethereum. In return, you will receive a weekly interest rate that can be as high as 7% per year. We will take care of all technical operations, you only need to make your crypto-assets available. Submit your ETH now and start making yield.
Wat is Ethereum staking?
De transacties op de Ethereum blockchain worden gevalideerd door alle deelnemers, de zogeheten nodes. Om mee te doen zetten deelnemers hun ETH-tokens vast op het netwerk. Dit wordt staking genoemd. Door te staken draag je bij aan de veiligheid van het netwerk. Als beloning daarvoor ontvang je rente in de vorm van ETH-tokens.
Om mee te doen, dienen deelnemers minimaal 32 ETH te staken op een eigen node. Het draaien van een eigen node is niet voor iedereen geschikt. Het is een serieuze tijdsinvestering en het vraagt de nodige technische kennis. Ook is de minimale inleg van 32 ETH voor velen een drempel. Bij Amdax nemen we alle technische handelingen uit handen, je hoeft alleen jouw ETH-tokens beschikbaar te stellen. Dankzij Ethereum Liquid Staking kun je staken zonder minimale investering.
Twee manieren om Ethereum te staken
Door met een eigen node te staken, ontvang je het maximale rendement en draag je bij aan de beveiliging van het netwerk. Met Ethereum Native Staking nemen wij het beheer van een node voor jou uit handen. Native staking is beschikbaar vanaf een inleg van 32 ETH. Met Ethereum Liquid Staking kun je zonder minimale investering staken. In stakingpools worden ETH-tokens van verschillende beleggers verzameld. Het rendement van Liquid Staking ligt lager dan bij Native Staking.
Ethereum Native Staking
Staking with Amdax means that your ETH-tokens are safely kept in Amdax’ vault. Your node will be managed by Blockdaemon, a well-established and reliable party. Thanks to this cooperation, you can stake your Ethereum on your own node, which is monitored 24/7, has an uptime of >99.99% and is insured against slashing. The staked ETH tokens are locked up until Ethereum’s Shanghai upgrade. After that, it will become possible to unstake your ETH tokens.
Ethereum Liquid Staking
Amdax Liquid Staking is the most accessible option for staking Ethereum. Next to that, running your own node is not required and your tokens will remain tradeable. With Ethereum Liquid Staking you’ll receive a liquid token that’s representative of the amount of ETH that you’ve staked, which will be kept safe in our vault. On these tokens you’ll receive a staking reward, which varies up to 6 percent annually.
How does Ethereum Liquid Staking work?
Amdax works together with Blockdeamon to provide the Ethereum Liquid Staking service. In so-called staking pools the ETH-tokens of different investors will be pooled and staked together. This makes it possible for smaller investors to generate yield with ETH staking. With Ethereum Liquid Staking you receive a liquid token (ETHls) which is tied to the amount of ETH you are staking. The advantage of this token is that they are freely tradeable. Please note that you’ll generally receive a little less ETH than the 1:1 ratio would imply; the sale price is determined by the market.

There are two types of risk when using the Ethereum Liquid Staking service.
First is the liquidity risk that happens when you’re trying to exchange your ETHLS tokens back into ETH tokens. Until the Shanghai update, this exchange happens via the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystem. In this exchange, the buyer takes on the staked ETH position, and the seller gets unstaked ETH in return. Because of this, it’s possible that the 1 to 1 peg is not exactly maintained. After the Shanghai update, this peg will be guaranteed, because the transaction no longer happens through the DeFi ecosystem.
Second, there is a smart contract risk. This means that if the code in the smart contract is improperly written, this can be exploited by third parties.
