FAQ

Is this liquid staking?

No. This is native Ethereum staking. Your ETH is locked into a validator, not represented by a token.

Who runs the validator?

P2P.org manages the infrastructure. You keep full custody through your Ledger device.

What about rewards?

Ethereum staking rewards are dynamic and protocol-driven. While rewards fluctuate based on network conditions, validator performance, and staking participation, they typically range between 3.5% - 4.5% annually as of mid-2025. P2P.org’s validators have consistently maintained high uptime and reliability, helping you capture the full share of on-chain rewards securely through your Ledger device.

Can I unstake?

Yes. Ethereum withdrawals are now live. You can initiate an exit and reclaim your ETH after the protocol-defined withdrawal queue.

Will I lose control of my ETH?

No. Your ETH stays in your self-custodied wallet. Ledger handles signing, and P2P.org runs the validator infrastructure, without ever having access to your funds.
