    FAQ

    What is EigenLayer (EIGEN) staking?

    EigenLayer staking is the process of delegating your restaked ETH tokens to contribute to the security and validation of transactions of AVS protocols on the EigenLayer network. In return for staking your tokens, you earn rewards in the form of additional yields.

    How does EigenLayer delegate staking work?

    In EigenLayer staking, you delegate your staked ETH tokens to Ankr Labs validators securing the network. Our validators with have a substantial amount staked to them, leading to a higher chance of validating transactions, and earning rewards that they share with you proportionally. This lets you earn passive income on your assets while contributing to network security.

    Are there risks in staking EigenLayer (EIGEN)?

    The only risk for stakers is the chance they will miss out on rewards during any time a validator they staked with is slashed. Slashing is a protocol-level penalty associated with a validator failure if it validates an invalid transaction, attacks the network, or goes offline. The delegated staked assets will not be slashed — slashing impacts only the self-stake of the validator.

    How much will I earn by staking EIGEN with Ankr Labs?

    Your rewards from EigenLayer staking will depend on variable factors like current network participation (affecting the overall rate), validator fees, staking duration, and your own staked amount.
