Why are the staking rates so different on trust wallet than on phantom or what’s posted on Solana Compass? The highest staking yield is 5.7% on trust wallet yet over 7% on phantom for the same validators. For instance autostake validator is showing up as 5.69% in trust wallet yet showing up as 7.3% on phantom and 7.7% on the compass site. Any ideas why?
They use APR rather than APY. Their APR calculation just looks at emission rate of sol due to inflation and also looks at the commission validators take but doesnt factor in the amount of supply staked or the performance of validators, both of which affect APY. When less of supply is staked, more emissions go to stakers, increasing APY. When a validator performs better APY is also higher.
Ah ok so the yield will be the same but the calculation is different.
