Ethereum Staking Pool

Ethereum 2.0 brings Proof of Stake to the Ethereum network and it is now possible to stake ETH and get rewards. Participating in ETH 2.0 staking requires 32 ETH and validator construction technology but Guarda made it all nice and simple for you.

If you don't want or can spend 32 ETH on running your own Ethereum staking validator. You can easily join Guarda's ETH staking pool and start staking Ether with as little as 0.1 ETH. Here is a tutorial for you.

The approximate annual interest rate is currently around 3%. It indicates the maximum reward amount that you can receive if blockchain conditions remain stable, with no changes to network fees, gas amounts, or the number of validators. Also it depends on the staked amount in the network.

The minimal stake is 0.1 ETH. To provide our users with a more flexible option for staking we are issuing ERC-20 GETH tokens, Guarded Ether, which you are receiving in a 1:1 ratio to staked ETH. It is important to remember that in order for rewards to be earned, a user's balance must be at least 0.1 GETH. During periods when the balance is below this threshold, staking rewards will not be granted.

The service fee is 10% of on-chain rewards.

The annual profit for ETH staking is currently about 3%, 0.3% of which is charged by our service to pay for servers and maintain sustainable infrastructure. You can calculate Ethereum staking rewards using the calculator above. Rewards generated by the validator pool are calculated for each staker proportionally to the amount of staked funds and the duration of their staking. Rewards are paid out to GETH holders (as ETH stakers) in GETH in an amount equal to the calculated rewards in ETH.

According to the Ethereum staking rules, staked Ether and rewards were frozen in the network until the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade, thus currently it was impossible to withdraw ETH. You can trade GETH tokens using DeFi exchanges like Uniswap while your Ether is locked, with transactions occurring at market prices. After the Shanghai, once the withdrawal of funds becomes available for Guarda validators in accordance with the network queue, Guarda Wallet will enable the exchange of GETH for ETH at a 1-to-1 ratio. As long as you hold GETH, it means that you are participating as an ETH staker. Taking out GETH is the same as withdrawing an equal amount of ETH from staking.

Starting January 2022, the GETH rewards will be distributed every 3 months, from 25th to 5th. Since deposited ETH and rewards are frozen by the network, we will distribute GETH token which is in a 1:1 ratio to ETH.

Yes, after the withdrawal feature for validators in our pool is enabled, it will be possible to swap GETH tokens to ETH in a 1-to-1 ratio using the web, desktop, and mobile Guarda Wallet.
