If you’re holding ETH as a long-term investment, you may have considered using it to earn interest. Let’s look at some of the ways you can earn a passive income on ETH.

What is staking?

Blockchains such as Ethereum use Proof of Stake to validate cryptocurrency transactions. A user can stake the network’s native cryptocurrency and become a validator.

Staking involves holding your funds in a crypto wallet to support a blockchain network’s security and operations. The reason your crypto earns staking rewards is because the blockchain puts it to work.

Staking Ethereum on Centralised Exchanges

Staking on your own requires running a node on your own hardware. However, most centralised cryptocurrency exchanges allow users to stake with them through the exchange’s interface. You can passively grow your ETH via centralised exchanges like Binance, and Coinbase. With Coinbase, you can earn up to 4.5% APR on your Ethereum.

The process of staking is usually similar, but each exchange will offer varying staking offerings. Note that the percentage return you receive will depend on how much ETH you’ve staked.

Staking on Lido

Lido allows you to stake any amount of ETH and earn daily staking rewards in return. Put your ETH to work on Lido and earn up to 4.8% APR.

Lido is the leading Ethereum staking pool, and participants can benefit from its liquidity and security. Simply enter the amount of ETH you wish to stake, connect your wallet, and your reward fee and transaction cost will be calculated.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
