Zengo

Review

Pros

  • ETH can be staked from a self-custodial wallet without transferring it to a centralized exchange account.
  • Rewards accrue daily and auto-compound after activation, with no fixed staking term.

Cons

  • Ethereum staking requires at least 0.1 ETH, takes about 12 days to begin earning, and takes about 10 days to unstake and claim.
  • The earn selection is limited, and users depend on Everstake for the validator service.
