How we compare
We compare the commission on rewards, not the advertised yield. Yield comes from the network; commission is the only thing the provider sets. Custody and tax tracking weigh just as heavily.
The purest form: run your own validator, keep the keys, pay nobody. In return you carry the technical risk.
Commission 0% commission, hardware and power
Belgium and the Netherlands
Rewards are typically movable income in Belgium; in the Netherlands the value counts in box 3.
The corporate route: a European provider, clean reporting and self-custody — aimed at larger positions.
Commission 5 to 10% commission
Belgium and the Netherlands
Reporting matches what a Belgian or Dutch accountant expects for a company.
The largest liquid staking pool. You trade part of the reward for liquidity and convenience, without handing coins to a custodian.
Commission 10% commission on rewards
Belgium and the Netherlands
Rebasing tokens complicate tax tracking; keep daily records of every mutation.
The decentralised alternative to Lido: more operators, slightly more commission and a token that appreciates instead of rebasing.
Commission about 14% commission on rewards
Belgium and the Netherlands
Because rETH appreciates, the result only appears on sale — which keeps filing simple.
Convenience at a steep price. Fine to learn how staking works, expensive to hold for years.
Commission 25 to 35% commission
Belgium and the Netherlands
The annual statement works for Belgian and Dutch filing, but convert to euro yourself.
Eine kurze Mail mit dem, was wirklich zählt: Kurse, Regulierung und die Banken, die sich bewegen. Kein Hype, kein Rauschen.
