CESR

Vital Market Structure

CESR provides participants in the Ethereum ecosystem with a standardized benchmark rate for staking and a settlement rate for derivative contracts. CESR can also help market observers and analysts generate deeper insights across Ethereum. CESR is administered by CoinFund and is calculated by CoinDesk Indices.

Consensus and Execution

CESR captures all relevant rewards to Ethereum validators, including consensus rewards and total priority transaction fees. The methodology accounts for deposits, withdrawals, and “slashing.” Historical daily CESR rates can be aggregated to address any evaluation period or contract tenor.
