How do you think you did on this quiz? Let's review the questions together below:

1️⃣

What is the current percentage of ETH staked on Ethereum?

A total of 32,254,780 ETH (eligible ether) is staked on Ethereum with 120,099,601.60 ETH total supply.

Therefore, the current percentage of ETH staked is
(32,254,780/120,099,601.60)*100 = 26.86%

Note: These figures are only applicable at the time of writing & are constantly changing. You can apply the same formula to find the percentage of ETH staked.

2️⃣

4️⃣

In the case of 100% ETH staked, what is the real yield (in ETH) a validator can get from staking rewards alone?

In the case of 100% ETH staked on the network, although everyone will get positive rewards from the protocol, but the total supply is increasing at the same rate of rewards, making the "real" yield for any stakers to be 0%.
