Multipliers

The Stakers Union prioritizes independent/decentralized node operation, performance and commitment to the Ethereum network. These values are reflected in multipliers that determine the distribution of incentives.

Multiplier Calculation

Final Multiplier = Independent Node Operation Multiplier * Average Performance Multiplier * Commitment Multiplier

Example

For a pre-merge home node with 1/2 block proposals, >99% attestations and >99% sync participation:

  • Independent Node Operation Multiplier = 1
  • Average Performance Multiplier = (0.5 + 1 + 1) / 3 = 0.83
  • Commitment Multiplier = 1.25
Final Multiplier = 1 * 0.83 * 1.25 = 1.03

Footnotes

  1. Performance is calculated as the average of all validators the member controls.

  2. Some validators may rotate keys for security reasons. Members can submit proof of ownership of historical keys for the purpose of calculating the multiplier.
