At Return Finance, transparency is a core pillar of our product philosophy—just as it is in DeFi. Every fund movement inside our app, from depositing and staking to bridging, is fully auditable on the blockchain. Now, we’re taking it a step further: you can easily track and validate your ETH staking rewards on-chain in real-time.

Whether you’re new to staking or a seasoned DeFi user, this guide will walk you through how to confirm your ETH staking rewards directly on Etherscan.

How Do ETH Staking Rewards Work?

When you stake ETH on Lido through Return Finance, our smart contract executes the stake on your behalf. In return, we receive stETH—a yield-bearing token that represents your investment plus ongoing staking rewards.

To give you transparent tracking, we issue rfstETH, which represents your share of the total staking rewards accumulated by our smart contract from all users’ stakes in Lido.

Your rfstETH balance updates daily on the blockchain, and you can easily verify it on Etherscan at any time. Plus, you can track its real-time price on Coingecko.
