What moves the Ethereum rate

Staking rewards come from new token issuance plus a share of network fees, divided among everyone staking. When more of the supply is staked, each staker gets a smaller slice. The rate you are quoted today is not a promise for next year.

Native, liquid, or exchange staking

Native delegation pays the full rate minus a validator commission, typically 5 to 10%. Liquid staking wraps your stake in a tradable token so you skip the unbonding wait. Exchange staking is the simplest but keeps 10 to 25% of the rewards and custody of your coins.
