After clarifying with the BitGo team, the expected rate of return is 3.24%, lower than the 4.5% initially cited in the proposal. This brings total expected one year net yield on the initial 20% staked to 62 ETH. Yield is highly dependent on market conditions and so actual yields may differ from estimates at different periods in time.
