What are Staking Fees?
Staking fees are the fees paid by users who participate in staking on Newton’s platform. Staking involves locking up a certain amount of crypto assets to support the network's operations and validate transactions. In return, stakers receive rewards. When staking through Newton’s platform, a portion of these rewards are deducted as fees by Newton and the staking validator used to facilitate staking on the Newton platform.
Breakdown of Fee Values
Validator Fee
A validator fee is normally calculated as a percentage of the rewards, deducted by the validator for its services in validating transactions and maintaining the network.
Newton Fee
Newton charges a fee for providing the staking service through the platform, which contributes to the platform's maintenance, operation and development of the staking functionality.
| Currency | Validator Fee | Newton Fee |
| ETH | 10% | 15% and 100% Execution Income |
| SOL | 4% | 7% and 100% of MEV Rewards |
| ADA | 2.5% | 7.5% |
| SUI | 10% | 5% |
| DOT | 8% | 5% |
| NEAR | 10% | 5% |
| ATOM | 20% | 5% |
Example of How This Works
Let’s pretend you’re staking Ethereum. You have 10 ETH staked and earning. The Newton fee is 15% and the validator fee is 10%. During the most recent rewards period, 0.5 ETH was earned before fees.
Total Earned Before Fees: 0.5 ETH
Validator fee: 0.5 x 0.10 = 0.05 ETH
Newton fee: 0.5 x 0.15 = 0.075 ETH
Total earned by you after fees: 0.375 ETH
In this example, you would receive 0.375 ETH in your Newton account at the end of that reward period.
NOTE: The actual fee percentages can vary depending on the specific cryptocurrency being staked.
