Calculate staking returns with compounding and validator commission.
Compounding raises the effective yield above the nominal rate, and daily compounding captures most of the available benefit. Validator commission is deducted from rewards before compounding applies. Quoted rates are often APR while returns are experienced as APY, so comparing validators requires putting both on the same basis.
Staking Yield
APY = (1 + rate ÷ n)^n − 1, applied after deducting validator commission
This is an illustrative calculation, not financial advice. Staking carries risks including price volatility, lock-up periods, validator slashing and protocol changes, none of which this projection accounts for.
