You're just a few clicks away from supporting the Ethereum network while earning passive income! Nexo's Smart Staking eliminates technical complexities and gas fees, offering a seamless way to earn 4–12% APY paid daily, regardless of your Loyalty tier or staked amount.
Understanding Ethereum Smart Staking
Nexo simplifies Ethereum staking by converting your ETH into NETH (Nexo Staked Ethereum) at a 1:1 ratio. This swap validates transactions via Nexo’s validator node, unlocking these benefits:
- Daily compound rewards: Earn 4–12% APY in NETH, deposited directly to your Savings Wallet.
- Universal rates: Same APY for all users, whether you hold NEXO Tokens or not.
- No minimums: Stake any amount—even $1 worth of ETH—with no gas fees or balance restrictions.
- Instant unstaking: Convert NETH back to ETH anytime at a 1:1 ratio, pausing rewards but activating standard ETH interest through Nexo’s Earn Crypto Suite.

How are rewards calculated?
Rewards derive from Ethereum network fees. APY fluctuates based on network activity and total ETH staked.
Are there risks?
Validator node issues could impact rewards. Research Ethereum’s staking mechanics before participating.
How do I unstake?
Swap NETH to ETH instantly on Nexo Exchange. Future updates may introduce a cooldown period to align with Ethereum’s mainnet rules.
What’s the difference between ETH and NETH?
NETH represents staked ETH in Nexo’s validator node, earning staking rewards. It can’t be used for Fixed Terms or NEXO Token bonuses.
