IOTA staking is at 11% median APY with 49% of supply locked. Total staked declined by 0.02% this week.

Key metrics

Security looks stable with a Nakamoto coefficient of 5. This means it takes 5 validators to control 33% of the network.

What changed

Total staked dropped 0.02% week-over-week. Yields stayed flat because the median APY didn't budge from 11%. The price rose 2.63% to $0.0340, which helps your USD returns even if your IOTA count stays the same.

The downside? High concentration. The top 10 validators hold 48.5% of the total stake. That's a lot of power sitting in a few hands.
