You may earn up to 7.8% APR (currently) on your stake.

Why would you stake at 7.8% when you can earn 10% on celsius ATM? Honest question.
It's not all about the amount of APY, also which ecosystem you want to belong to and who you trust will improve over time too. Ethereum vs Celsius is a no brainer at the moment.
So the bet is that Ethereum has a lot of room to grow, and you want to be in that space, right?
For me it's more about existing developer activity. In my bubble, 90% of the people are building with/on Ethereum or Polkadot. I usually build things together with others, not by my own, so having a large ecosystem is a requirement and so far, Ethereum is the only community that really fulfills that.
if staking with a pool. if you run your own validator you currently receive about 7.8%
