or staking on Ethereum 2.0 will be pretty simple. There will be a minimum limit of 32 ETH mandatory to participate in staking, and validators will need to operate a validator node. As already mentioned, this node will not need any specific machinery and can be configured on a common computer or laptop. However, validators will be required to be constantly online to avoid minor penalties. ETH staking rate of return is expected to be around 4% -10%. A program called "slashing" will be applied to any validator acting with hostile intent towards the network, removing a portion of its stake.
