Aztec rewards calculator
Estimate what staking with a sequencer earns, after its take rate.
Estimate your rewards
Any active sequencer, before its provider’s take rate: about 27.21% a year
What the rollup pays per proven checkpoint, times the checkpoints that land, spread over every active sequencer's stake. Before the provider's take rate.
How this is worked out
Each proven checkpoint pays its proposer 450 AZTEC (90% of 500 AZTEC). 28.5 of every 32 slots get one, shared by 3,228 active sequencers, so one sequencer’s 200K AZTEC earns about 3.97 AZTEC an epoch.

Assumptions
- Checkpoints keep landing at the pace of the last 48 completed epochs (89.1% of slots). A sequencer that misses its slots earns less.
- Every active sequencer is equally likely to be picked to propose, so this is the long-run average; one sequencer proposes only every few days, so a single week can be far above or below it.
- Only checkpoints proven on Ethereum are paid. Attesting earns nothing, and transaction fees, which also go to the proposer, are left out.
- The reward pool holds 72.4M AZTEC, enough for about 135 days at this pace. After that, rewards depend on it being topped up.
- Staking goes through a staking provider, 200K AZTEC per sequencer; the provider keeps its take rate and governance can change the reward settings.
