Staking & avkastning
Staking explained
Staking is the proof-of-stake equivalent of mining: you lock coins to validate transactions and receive a reward. That yield is not interest but payment for a service with real risks.
Where the yield comes from
Part is new issuance, part is transaction and priority fees. Stakers avoid dilution; non-stakers absorb it.
Always compute real yield: nominal reward minus net network inflation.
Ways to stake
Solo staking gives most control but requires 32 ETH on Ethereum and a reliable node. Delegation is simpler but adds counterparty risk.
Liquid staking gives a tradable receipt, stacking smart contract risk on top of validator risk and reinforcing centralisation.
- Solo: maximum control, highest threshold
- Delegation: easy, counterparty risk
- Liquid staking: liquid, extra contract risk
Risks to understand
Slashing penalises double signing or prolonged downtime. Rare with a reliable operator, but not zero.
Exit queues can take days or weeks while the price keeps moving.

Risk
Staking är inget sparkonto. Slashing, validatorns driftstopp, upplåsningstider, buggar i smarta kontrakt vid liquid staking och prisfall kan minska ditt innehav. Hög APR kompenserar ofta hög inflation eller hög risk. Detta är inte investeringsrådgivning.
Avrundning och antaganden
Vi räknar med konstant APR, oförändrat pris och lika perioder. APY = (1 + netto-APR / n)^n − 1. Real avkastning är (1 + APY) / (1 + inflation) − 1. Belopp visas avrundade till fyra decimaler (mynt) och två (valuta), medan beräkningen sker oavrundad. Skatter och avgifter ingår inte.
APY = (1 + APR/n)^n − 1
Vanliga frågor
Is staking risk-free income?
No: price risk, slashing risk, counterparty risk and liquidity risk during exit.
What is a normal staking yield?
Roughly two to eight percent per year depending on the network, denominated in the coin itself.
Do I report staking income?
Usually yes; treatment differs per country. See the Belgian and Dutch tax guide.
