About Legacy vs Pectra Staking
Legacy Staking
Traditional Ethereum staking requires validators to stake exactly 32 ETH. Rewards accumulate in validator balances but only 32 ETH earns yield.
- Fixed 32 ETH validator size earns rewards
- Excess balance above 32 ETH earns 0% until swept
- Rewards swept to wallet every 9.2 days
- Wallet balance earns 0% until new validator created
- Step-function compounding with idle periods
Pectra Staking (EIP-7251)
The Pectra upgrade introduces flexible staking with higher effective balance limits, allowing for automatic reward compounding with no idle periods.
- Up to 2048 ETH per validator
- Automatic effective balance ratcheting
- Continuous reward earning on full balance
- Immediate reward compounding when balance increases by 1.25+ ETH
- Higher returns through eliminating idle periods
