Outdated Question

How much does Staked charge to run my validators?

Staked has two pricing options, per validator you provision:

  • $19 USD, monthly payment: a payment of $19/month will cover your validator for the month, with a payable invoice sent monthly to the email address on file
  • $299 USD, one-time payment: a one-time payment of $299 will cover your validator costs through Phase 1-2 when transfers are enabled. After that point, you will be able to transfer your ETH or continue staking with Staked at the default $19/month.
Can I pay via Reward Share?

Given Staked’s ETH2 validators are non-custodial (you always hold custody of the withdrawal key), it is not possible to pay via reward share.

Can I pay via Crypto?

Yes, Staked uses Coinbase Commerce to manage cryptocurrency payments. At this time, you can pay via Bitcoin, Ethereum, DAI, USDC, Litecoin, or Bitcoin Cash.

Can I pay via Credit Card?

Yes, Staked uses Stripe to manage credit card payments.

What is the difference between a Monthly payment and a One-time payment?

ETH2 transfers are not enabled until at least Phase 1 (learn more about ETH2 phases). A One-time payment will cover your validators until Phase 1 or when transfers become available.

Monthly payments are a recurring bill, charged monthly for the number of validators you have. If using Stripe, you will be charged automatically to the card on file. If using Coinbase Commerce, you will be sent an invoice via email and must pay through an on-chain transaction every month.
