Scores
Each criterion carries equal weight. The overall score is the average of these 5 scores — (10.0 + 10.0 + 5.0 + 6.0 + 6.0) ÷ 5 = 7.4.
Pros
- Commission published as a flat 10%
- States the service is 100% non-custodial
- Users retain control of unstaking and withdrawal
- Minimum stake of 0.01 ETH
Cons
- A single validator operator rather than a decentralised set
- No slashing insurance is described on the page we checked
- Protocol penalties are acknowledged but their handling is not detailed
Two things stated without hedging
Everstake publishes a 10% commission and describes the service as 100% non-custodial, with users retaining full control of their funds including staking, unstaking, withdrawal and reward management. Both claims are the kind this rubric is built to reward: specific, and checkable against the vendor's own page.
Single operator
Where Rocket Pool lets anyone run a node and Marinade spreads stake across more than a hundred validators, Everstake is one operator. That is not a fault, but concentration is a real risk factor and the decentralisation score reflects it.
Penalties acknowledged, not insured
The page notes validators that fail to be online when selected may face protocol penalties, but describes no insurance or reimbursement against that outcome.
