Methodology, sources & verification

Yields captured 2026-10-11 · refreshed 2026-10-12.

StakeRebel compiles staking yields exactly as published by the providers

themselves. Every figure below comes from the provider's own official

publication, captured with its source URL. There are no aggregators, no

estimates, no secondary sources.

How the index is ordered

The index is a token menu: one card per token, ordered by market-cap tier —

the largest tokens (BTC, ETH, SOL and the other majors) lead, smaller tokens

follow. Each card shows the token's best available APY and how many venues

offer it. Clicking a token opens its page, where every venue offering that

token is ranked by APY, high to low. Sorting the front page by raw APY alone

would put obscure triple-digit micro-cap tokens above the majors, which

misleads more than it informs. The tiers are a static rough ordering used

only for sorting; they are not displayed as data.

Providers with verified yields

• **Lido** — stETH APR from the official Lido API.
• **Rocket Pool** — rETH APR (net) and beacon-chain APR (gross) from the official Rocket Pool API.
• **Kraken** — bonded (fixed-term) and flexible rewards rates from Kraken's official staking page.
• **Figment** — Staking Rewards Rate from Figment's official Ethereum page.
• **Bitcoin Suisse** — 30-day reward rate from Bitcoin Suisse's official staking page.

How to read the figures

• **Net APY** is the headline figure: what the staker actually receives, as

published by the provider.

• **Gross APY** is the network-level yield before the provider's cut, where

the provider publishes one (Rocket Pool's beacon-chain APR).

• **Basis** is quoted verbatim from the source ("APR", "Staking Rewards Rate",

"30-day reward rate", ...) — never converted or normalized across providers.

• Labeling quirk, kept verbatim: Bitcoin Suisse's page labels its own rate

"Bitcoin Suisse Reward" (2.67%) and the benchmark "Benchmark Reward" (2.65%).

The benchmark can read lower than the provider's own rate — that is what the

source publishes, and it is reproduced exactly.

Known gaps (never routed around)

Some staking providers cannot be read with a plain fetch and are honestly

absent rather than estimated: Stakewise, Kiln, P2P.org,

ether.fi, Allnodes. If a source blocks access or needs JavaScript rendering,

it stays a gap — we do not work around it.

The quality pipeline — why these figures can be trusted

Every figure in this dataset survived a six-round verification gauntlet:

1. Builder — collected from the provider's own official publication.

2. Independent checker — every figure re-fetched from the official source with

separately written code and compared.

3. Spot-checker — random sample triple-checked with independent code.

4. Quality-seal audit — a fourth worker audited the whole pipeline and signed off.

5. Acceptance — two consecutive full re-verifications, each 100% clean with

zero genuine errors, before the data was accepted.

Result: 6 yields across 5 providers, zero genuine errors, 100% official-source provenance.

New rows added after that acceptance (the five CEX menus collected

2026-10-10) completed the same gauntlet on 2026-10-10 — 44 passed clean,

5 Coinbase estimated rates drifted trivially and were refreshed, 0 failures —

and carry no extra mark.

A second batch (Gemini, KuCoin and Bitfinex menus, collected 2026-10-10)

completed the gauntlet the same day: 11 figures verified clean against the

providers' own pages (one Gemini ETH figure corrected 3.0 → 2.0% APR and five

Bitfinex figures corrected down to the official estimates; five Bitfinex

tokens with no published figure stay marked "Under review").

A third batch (Jito, BlazeStake and Mantle liquid-staking tokens, collected

2026-10-10) completed the same gauntlet on 2026-10-10: BlazeStake's 6.01%

estimated APY and Mantle's 2.1246% mETH APY verified clean against the

providers' own publications; Jito's figure drifted 4.86 → 4.8843% against

Jito's official stake-pool API and was corrected before acceptance.

What we don't do

• No estimates, no predictions — only published figures.
• No secondary sources, no aggregators — provider publications only.
• No paywalled or login-gated sources; no bypassing of any site's access controls.
• Yields are facts published by providers; StakeRebel adds compilation, not authorship.

Updates

The dataset refreshes when providers republish their rates. Staking yields are

live rates that move with network conditions — figures are final as published;

provider corrections are applied with the new source linked.

Staking risks

All staking carries risk, and higher rewards usually mean higher risk. There

is no guarantee of rewards: projected rates are estimates and can change

without notice.

Slashing, smart-contract failure, hacks, or a platform's insolvency can

destroy staked assets — you can lose principal, not just yield. Lock-up

periods and unstaking delays can trap funds while prices fall.

Unusually high APYs, especially triple-digit figures, typically reflect new,

volatile, or illiquid tokens.

Decentralized staking adds its own risks. Liquid staking tokens (stETH, mSOL,

jitoSOL and the like) can depeg from the underlying asset during market stress,

so the token you hold may trade below the value of the staked coins. Protocol

smart contracts can contain bugs or be exploited — a hack can drain a staking

pool with no recourse and no insurer. Validator slashing penalties, oracle

failures, and governance decisions by token holders can all reduce returns or

principal. With restaking and leveraged products, these risks stack.

StakeRebel lists rates exactly as providers publish them but does not vet

providers' custody, security, or solvency. Do your own diligence before

staking anywhere. Educational data only — not financial advice.
