How this rate has behaved
ETHX shows up in 4 pools here, with rates from 2.30% to 9.49% APY across 1 chains — the rate depends on which protocol and chain you pick, not just the token.
4 of these 4 pools have a trustworthy 30-day average on file, with a median of 7.57% — a useful check against today's number for whether the rate is steady or just having a good day.
3 of 4 pools blend in incentive or reward APY on top of the base rate. Incentive yield decays over time as reward programs run down — the base rate is the more durable number.
| Protocol | APY | 30d Mean APY | Yield mix |
|---|---|---|---|
| stader | 2.30% | 2.24% | Base rate |
| curve-dex | 6.98% | 7.64% | 83.67% incentives |
| stake-dao | 9.49% | 8.71% | 80.92% incentives |
| convex-finance | 7.25% | 7.49% | 84.27% incentives |
The 30-day average comes straight from DefiLlama and only appears when it passes the same sanity rail as every other number on this page — a dash means it didn't clear that bar, not that it's being hidden. Every pool here already clears a $100K minimum TVL. Rates move daily, so treat this as a snapshot, not a promise.
