stakefish's Zero Ethereum Staking Fees | Experience Unrivaled Rewards

Editor's note: This post describes our 2023 fee change. Since June 2026, stakefish charges 0% on consensus layer (protocol) rewards and 50% on execution layer rewards. See our current fee guide: https://blog.stake.fish/ethereum-staking/

Effective from the Shanghai hardfork on April 12, 2023, stakefish will implement a zero protocol fee for Ethereum staking, allowing stakers to earn 100% of protocol rewards and up to 75% in priority and MEV fees.

Unlike most staking providers in the market, we are advancing the non-custodial approach by not basing our fees on protocol rewards - setting a new benchmark in the staking industry.

Legacy users who have been staking with us since December 1, 2020 will retain 100% of their protocol rewards with a flat 20% priority/MEV fee set since September 15, 2022. These Ethereum stakers moved to a 25% priority/MEV fee after the Shanghai hardfork. The current rate is 50% on execution layer rewards, since June 2026.

Benefits of Our Ethereum Staking Fee Structure:

1. Maximum Protocol Rewards - Enjoy higher rewards during periods of increased protocol APR.
2. Non-Custodial - Retain complete control over your Beacon chain locked Ethereum and ensure self-custody of withdrawal credentials.
3. Simple Structure - Abandon the hassle of estimating fees based on protocol rewards.

NFT Users: In the spirit of transparency, we're discontinuing early access for a simpler Ethereum staking fee structure. From the Shanghai hardfork, NFT users paid zero protocol fees and a 25% priority/MEV fee (up from 20%). Since June 2026, the fee is 0% on protocol rewards and 50% on execution layer rewards.

New Ethereum Stakers and Promotional Period: After the Shanghai hardfork, new Ethereum stakers paid zero protocol fees and a 25% priority/MEV fee. While we anticipate a nominal increase in the fee/MEV in the future, the timing will be contingent on market conditions.
