EthStaker

Consensus rewards for solo stakers are now ~2.9% APR.

It now takes 13 validators to achieve 1 ETH per month in consensus rewards from attestations.

Not counting the execution rewards because block proposals are random, plus it seems that the MEV will get burnt in the future.

It is low maintenance, and it is also the best risk/yield ratio if you are going to be holding ETH regardless.

But you have to believe that the underlying ETH will appreciate in price, or else there are better yields out there for the same amount of risk.

still feels worth it given how low maintenance it actually is

I wasn’t speaking for myself — I’ve been running an Ethereum node since 2016 “for free” and staking since pre-merge.

I’m as aligned as it gets and solo staking is the gold standard from which I will not walk away for a meager APR upside.

Why solo stake when you can do something like Rocketpool, Stader, or soon to be DVT?

Less of a capital requirement for access to the same reward with just a bit more risk
