Yield
Why this grade
- ✗ Regulation
Decentralized protocol, not a licensed entity — there is no regulator or custodian to appeal to. Legitimacy rests on audits and on-chain transparency instead of regulation. Source →
- ✓ Proof-of-Reserves
Fully on-chain. Staked ETH and every validator position are publicly verifiable; an oracle reports balances every 24 hours. Source →
- ✓ Flexible withdrawal
stETH is the most liquid LST — exit instantly on the open market, or unstake natively via the withdrawal queue (typically 1–5 days). Source →
- ✓ Insurance Fund
Internal slashing insurance fund (protocol fees held in stETH), with optional external cover via Nexus Mutual / Unslashed. Source →
- ✓ Track record (2+ years incident-free)
No smart-contract exploit since 2020. The June 2022 stETH discount was a liquidity event (it recovered), and minor slashing incidents were covered — cumulative losses under 0.01% of TVL. Source →
