How we check

Whether a fund stakes, its target and cap, its staking providers and how rewards are paid come from its prospectus and other SEC filings.
Share staked and yields are the latest figures each issuer has published, with their date; coins held and cash payouts update every trading day.
Staked ether is each fund’s coins times the share it last disclosed as staked, or its target where it has published none.
Payout yield is the latest cash payout divided by the share price the day before its ex-date, scaled to a year by the days since the previous payout.
Staking start dates come from SEC filings; where a fund has not given one, the timeline shows its first trading day.
