Announcing the Figment Rewards Calculator

December 5, 2022

When it comes to protocol staking, Figment has you covered.

We are excited to announce the release of our Rewards Calculator! Calculating protocol staking rewards accurately is important, but typically is a challenging, manual and laborious process. The Rewards Calculator is an automated tool to help inform token holders’ decisions on protocol staking. Using a data-driven approach, the calculator gives token holders the ability to make decisions by allowing them to quantify staking opportunities more accurately.

Rewards Calculator Key Highlights

  • The Rewards Calculator leverages Figment’s Rewards Rate API retrieving time series of daily network-wide annualized staking rewards rates to provide a source of truth for token holders and builders, which we call the Staking Rewards Rate (SRR)
  • Users can calculate their protocol staking rewards on a single network, or combine multiple networks to calculate cumulative rewards across all protocols
  • It currently supports ETH, SOL, and DOT, with more networks coming soon
  • Currently, for ETH, the Rewards Calculator displays the current annualized rewards rate without including the transaction rewards (the priority fees and MEV). Learn more about ETH rewards here.

Use cases for Crypto Service Providers and Institutional Token Holders

Crypto Service Providers such as Exchanges and Custodians must make critical decisions to increase customer retention and revenue. If an institution does not offer staking for its retail or institutional customers, it is bound to lose them to competitors who do. These customers are keen on being able to earn rewards on their tokens and will migrate to the platforms that offer staking.

Institutional token holders can use the Rewards Calculator directly on the Figment site to quantify rewards opportunities associated with staking their tokens. The Rewards Calculator helps them make informed and timely decisions, as institutions generally don’t have the tools or data to make decisions regarding staking.‍
