Formula Used
- Network share: share = stake ÷ totalStaked
- Expected blocks: E[blocks] = share × (blocksPerDay × days)
- Daily return factor (approx.): k = (blocksPerDay × rewardPerBlock ÷ totalStaked) × uptime × (1 − commission)
- Final stake (daily compounding): stakeFinal = stake × (1 + k)days
- No compounding: stakeFinal = stake × (1 + k × days)
- APR: APR% = k × 365 × 100
- APY (compounded): APY% = ((1 + k)365 − 1) × 100 (daily example)
- Slashing probability over period: p = 1 − (1 − pAnnual)days/365
- Expected slashing loss: loss = stake × penalty × p
- Selection at least once: 1 − (1 − share)totalBlocks (block-level approximation)

FAQs
1) What does this calculator estimate?
It estimates staking rewards using your share of total staked funds, expected block production, and adjustable parameters like commission, uptime, compounding, and slashing risk.
2) Are results the same for every chain?
No. Chains differ in reward schedules, epochs, validator sets, and penalty rules. Use this tool as a flexible estimator, then compare with your chain’s official documentation or explorer data.
3) What does commission mean here?
Commission represents validator fees or delegation cuts taken from earned rewards. Higher commission reduces your net rewards, even if the network reward rate is unchanged.
4) How does uptime affect rewards?
Lower uptime can reduce rewards because missed blocks or downtime may forfeit payouts. This model applies uptime as a multiplier to expected rewards for a simple performance adjustment.
5) Why is total network staked important?
Your probability of being selected is linked to stake share. If total staked grows while your stake stays constant, your share falls and expected rewards typically decline.
6) How is slashing handled?
Slashing is modeled as an annual probability converted to the chosen period, then multiplied by a penalty fraction of stake to compute an expected loss. Real slashing events are discrete and may depend on validator behavior.
7) Can I use it for delegated staking?
Yes. Treat your delegated amount as stake, commission as validator fee, and uptime as the validator’s reliability. If your chain has extra delegation rules, results may vary.
8) Are staking rewards guaranteed?
No. Rewards depend on network conditions, protocol changes, validator performance, fees, and risks like slashing. Use outputs for planning, not as a promise of future returns.
