questions.
Who retains custody of my staked ETH?
You do. RockX provides non-custodial validator operations. You retain ownership of your staked ETH, as well as control over the relevant addresses and credentials associated with withdrawals and rewards, while RockX operates the validator infrastructure on your behalf.
What is a withdrawal address, and why is it required while staking?
A withdrawal address is your designated Ethereum address for receiving both protocol validation rewards (partial withdrawals) and unstaked principal (full withdrawals). This address is specified when the staking deposit is made and cannot be changed afterward. Because RockX is completely non-custodial, it is critical that you securely maintain the private keys or seed phrase for this address.
What is a claim address?
A claim address is your designated identity address used exclusively to interact with our audited staking smart contract to claim execution layer rewards (Fee/MEV rewards). You maintain full control of the claim address. This allows you to use a separate wallet just for claiming rewards, so you never have to expose the main wallet that holds your staked ETH.
How does RockX mitigate slashing and operational risks?
To reduce correlated slashing and operational risks, RockX adopts a diversified validator infrastructure strategy across clients, regions, and service providers. We deploy multiple combinations of execution and consensus clients, together with geographic and cloud-provider redundancy, to reduce concentrated exposure to a single client issue or infrastructure failure. This architecture, combined with institutional-grade monitoring and operational controls, is designed to support strong validator performance and operational resilience at scale.
How much ETH can I stake?
RockX supports batch validator creation across a flexible range of 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH per transaction. This allows clients to create validators efficiently based on their operational and capital deployment needs without the friction of submitting hundreds of individual transactions.
What is the timeline for validator activation and withdrawal?
Because RockX operates native Ethereum validators, the timelines for validator activation and withdrawal are determined entirely by the Ethereum protocol.
1. Activation Process (Entering the Network)
Once your deposit is confirmed and recognized by Ethereum's consensus layer, your validator enters the activation queue.
- Activation Queue (FIFO): Ethereum processes validator activations through a first-in-first-out queue. The waiting time depends on current network demand and the protocol's churn limit. Once your validator clears the queue, it becomes active and starts earning rewards.
2. Withdrawal Process (Exiting the Network)
When a validator exits staking, Ethereum processes the withdrawal in multiple stages.
- Exit Queue (FIFO): Your validator first enters the protocol exit queue. The waiting time depends on how many other validators are exiting at the same time. While waiting in the exit queue, the validator generally continues performing duties and earning rewards.
- Withdrawable Delay: After clearing the exit queue, Ethereum applies an additional protocol delay of approximately 27 hours before the validator becomes withdrawable. At that point, the validator is no longer active and no longer earns rewards.
- Automated Withdrawal Sweep: Once the validator is withdrawable, Ethereum automatically transfers the remaining balance to the designated withdrawal address through the network's withdrawal sweep process. This process is handled automatically in validator-index order and may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days, depending on sweep position and network conditions.
Does RockX support 0x02 withdrawal credentials?
Yes. RockX fully supports 0x02 withdrawal credentials, enabling on-chain auto-compounding for your validators. Instead of rewards being swept to your wallet, protocol rewards are automatically compounded into your validator's effective balance (up to 2,048 ETH). This maximizes your capital efficiency and yield without requiring manual restaking or additional gas fees.
How can I track my validator performance and reward flows?
Because this is native ETH staking, validator performance and reward flows can be monitored trustlessly through standard on-chain tools and Ethereum validator explorers using the public keys we provide. Additionally, you can easily view your real-time performance, reward accumulations, and manage your staking activity directly on the RockX Dashboard for seamless operational and reconciliation purposes.
How are staking rewards distributed and claimed?
Ethereum staking rewards are received through two distinct channels:
- Protocol Validation Rewards: These account for the majority of your yield. Depending on your staking setup, these rewards are either automatically swept to your Withdrawal Address periodically in a gasless state (Partial Withdrawals via 0x01 credentials), or auto-compounded directly into your validator balance to maximize yield efficiency (via 0x02 credentials). Whenever you need liquidity, you can initiate a Full Withdrawal via the RockX Dashboard to exit the validator and return your principal and rewards.
- Execution Layer (Fee/MEV) Rewards: To optimize yield probability, RockX utilizes a pool-sharing mechanism. All validators in the same pool share the Fee/MEV rewards proportionally. These rewards accumulate securely on our audited staking smart contract and can be calculated and claimed anytime via your Claim Address on the RockX Dashboard.
How does RockX charge for its service fees?
RockX operates on a highly competitive and aligned fee structure. We currently charge a 20% commission ONLY on Execution Layer (Fee/MEV) rewards. We charge 0% commission on Protocol Validation Rewards, which typically account for the vast majority of your overall Ethereum staking yield.
