Still unresolved
- Whether Bitwise published the dataset or methodology behind the 43.8 million ETH and 2.63% yield figures, which would allow them to be checked.
- Which yield measure the 2.63% refers to, such as a base reward rate or a composite validator return, and over what period it was averaged.
- Whether the stated supply share is based on a specific total-supply figure, and what that figure is.
