Reference Rates

CESR®, the composite ether staking rate, is a daily benchmark rate representing the mean, annualized staking yield of the Ethereum validator population. CESR offers a consistent daily snapshot of staking yields, which is crucial for understanding the current state of the Ethereum staking market. Created in partnership with CoinFund.

The CoinDesk Solana Price Index (SLX) provides a USD-denominated reference rate for the spot price of Solana (SOL). The index leverages real-time prices from multiple constituent exchanges to provide a representative spot price. Each constituent exchange is weighted proportionally to its trailing 24-hour liquidity with adjustments for price variance and inactivity.

ETXTR is a total return ETH benchmark to help capture the comprehensive investment case for Ethereum, including ETH’s staking yield. The index comprises the daily price return of ether plus the daily rewards earned from the Ethereum network. The index blends the CoinDesk Ether Price Index (ETX) and CESR, the composite ether staking rate.
