Assume the rest of the network grows by 0% per year (APY decays as more Quanta stakes):

What if the network grows?

PoS rewards scale with 1/√(total staked) — yield drops as more Quanta is staked across the network. Honest forecast vs single-point estimates.

FAQ about the staking calculator

Common questions about this page
How accurate are these numbers?
The base reward formula is verified against the qrysm source (theQRL/qrysm, mainnet_config.go). All live data — total network stake, validator count, QRL/USD price — comes from this site's backend. The APY is mathematically correct for a fully-performing validator at the displayed network total. Actual results vary with validator uptime, slashing events, network growth, and price action.
Why does APY shrink as the network grows?
QRL 2.0 inherits Ethereum's reward curve: per-validator yield scales as 1/√(total staked). If twice as much Quanta is staked across the network, your yield drops by ~29%, not 50%. The 'What if the network grows?' panel above shows this honestly so you can see the realistic range of outcomes.
What does 'uptime' mean and what's realistic?
Uptime is the percentage of attestations and proposals your validator participates in. Well-run home validators usually hit 99–99.5%; professional staking services aim for 99.9%+. Missed attestations don't slash you but do reduce rewards proportionally. Sustained downtime under 50% can lead to the 'inactivity leak' — a much larger penalty.
What does it cost to run a validator?
QRL 2.0 has no minimum hardware spec yet, but a typical PoS validator runs on a small VPS or a Raspberry Pi-class machine with a fast SSD. Real-world cost lands between $50–200/year per node for cloud, or one-time hardware (~$300) plus electricity at home. The 'Operating cost' field lets you subtract this from gross rewards to see net profit.
Why is QRL 2.0 staking different from QRL (PoW)?
QRL (PoW) is Proof-of-Work — you mine blocks with hardware, no minimum stake. QRL 2.0 is Proof-of-Stake — you lock up 40,000 Quanta per validator to attest blocks. Staking is more energy-efficient and doesn't need GPUs, but it ties up capital and you can be slashed (lose part of your stake) for byzantine behavior.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is a calculator that uses public network parameters and a published formula. QRL 2.0 parameters may still change as the network matures, and crypto prices are volatile. Do your own research.
Show me the math

Verified against theQRL/qrysm config/params/mainnet_config.go:

base_reward = (effective_balance × 2048) ÷ √(total_staked) ÷ 4
  • 40,000 Quanta per validator (MaxEffectiveBalance)
  • 60s per slot, 128 slots per epoch (~128 min per epoch)
  • 4,106 epochs per year

Live data is pulled from the consensus-layer index and the QRL/USD price feed.

⚠ Estimates only. QRL 2.0 is still maturing — real rewards may differ as parameters settle. Slashing and inactivity-leak penalties are not modelled. Not financial advice.
