After Ethereum decided to switch from a Proof of Work mechanism to a Proof of Stake mechanism, many people in the crypto community are wondering how much stake rewards they can receive for participating in staking in the Ethereum blockchain.

in Ethereal Virtual Summit 2020 Recently held hypothetically, it was expected that the question will be asked about the amount of rewards that can be achieved from participating Ethereum holders who wish to obtain the stake rewards.

The answer is not simple, according to Colin Myers, director of global product strategy at ConsenSys.

Ethereum 2.0 is a massive network upgrade that will bring many improvements to the current blockchain, starting with “phase zero.”

This will pave the way for Ethereum to move to Proof of Stake (PoS), and move away from the current computing Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm.

The main difference is that PoS users will be able to “share” through their Ethereum, which will be used to verify new blocks, thus helping to support the network.

Of course, they will receive rewards for their contributions, and the higher their share, the greater the reward.

Myers said:

The Ethereum 2.0 network has to reach some important milestones before Ethereum holders start questioning the potential earnings from staking.

First of all, Block 2.0 – or “genesis block” will not be discovered until the total amount of ETH accumulated reaches more than 524,000 ETH – which is roughly 16,000 verifiers.

Myers added:

No one will get any rewards until this point is reached.

He also noted that Ethereum 2.0’s “phase zero” is a continuum rather than a fixed time period, although developers expect it to last between 12 and 18 months – or even 24 months according to some predictions.

What profit can Ethereum holders expect?

From a network perspective, Myers explained that starting with the configuration block, the costs of maintaining an authenticator node would cost users 4.75% of their reward.

As more Ethereum is mortgaged to the network, this percentage will go up because the rewards themselves will start to shrink.

Myers said:

With five million ETH pledged, the cost would increase to around 14.7%, which results in the reward being between 3.7% and 17%.

Myers warned all Ethereum holders that the Ethereum 2.0 network is designed to be “extremely open,” resulting in a variable rate of return.
