FAQ

ETH yield FAQ

What's the best ETH interest rate right now?

The highest ETH rate we currently track is 3.5% APY on Nebeus, which we grade D for safety. These are base rates refreshed daily — not promotional teasers.

Is earning interest on ETH safe?

It depends on the platform, not the coin. We grade every platform A–F on five checks: regulation, proof-of-reserves, flexible withdrawals, an insurance fund, and track record. Check the grade next to each rate before depositing — a higher APY often means higher risk.

Are these ETH rates promotional?

No. We track 30 platforms for ETH and publish base rates only — never the headline promo or teaser tiers that apply to tiny balances. Floating rates are labelled as snapshots, so the number reflects what a normal balance realistically earns.

ETH

What is ETH

Ethereum is a blockchain platform for smart contracts and decentralized applications. After the 2022 switch to proof-of-stake, ETH can be staked with a base yield of ~3-5% per year. Liquid staking (via Lido, Rocket Pool and similar protocols) adds liquidity — staked ETH can still be used in DeFi. Centralized exchanges offer liquid staking at 5-7% APR, sometimes higher. High liquidity and wide adoption across DeFi.

Known risks

  • High price volatility
  • Slashing risk when staking (minimal on crypto exchanges)
  • Regulatory risk — the SEC periodically considers classifying ETH as a security
  • Network congestion and high fees during periods of peak activity
  • Smart contract risks in DeFi protocols
