Net yield
Algorandn/aGramn/a

Nominal yield in the staked token, not real yield: a 19% APR on a token that inflates 12% a year is worth less than it looks, and price moves dominate both. MEV is included on Solana only and excluded on Ethereum. ICP is one neuron profile (2 year dissolve delay), Algorand one opt-in solo node, Ethereum one network average. Stellar and Somnia are not ranked, see the methodology.

How this pair was selected

Auto-generated pairs require: both providers in the same benchmark for seven consecutive days, at least 1000 samples per provider, observable third-party search demand, and a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. Editorially curated pairs (like this one) may publish early when search demand is high and data is accruing; panels with fewer than 100 samples are shown as provisional. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo.

Live data refreshes via ISR within 60 seconds of a new run. Sources are the same Prometheus queries surfaced on the parent benchmark pages.
