# ankrETH

ankrETH is Ankr's reward-bearing staked-ETH token whose ETH value grows over time. No direct ankrETH/USD Chainlink feed is used; this `ICustomPriceFeed` adapter inverts the token's `ratio()` and applies an ETH/USD price read from the NAV's own primary feed.

{% hint style="info" %}
The ETH/USD term is sourced from the NAV's own selector — see [Base/USD from the NAV's own selector](/funds/infrastructure/onchain-accounting/price-feeds.md#base-usd-from-the-navs-own-selector).
{% endhint %}

## Approach

ETH/USD ÷ `ratio()` — `ratio()` is ankrETH-per-ETH, so its inverse is ETH per ankrETH.

## Price calculation

```
price = (ETH/USD) (8) × 1e18 / ratio() (18)      // USD, 8 dec
```

| Input   | Source                                              | Description                                     |
| ------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `ratio` | `IankrETH.ratio()` on ankrETH (18 dec)              | ankrETH per 1 ETH (decreases as rewards accrue) |
| ETH/USD | NAV base — `getPriceDataNoDivergence(WETH)` (8 dec) | the NAV's primary WETH/USD price, the numerator |

Because `ratio()` is ankrETH-per-ETH, ETH-per-ankrETH = `1e18 / ratio`; the `1e18` numerator cancels the ratio's 18-decimal scale, leaving the ETH/USD feed's 8 decimals. As staking rewards accrue, `ratio()` decreases, so the derived ankrETH price rises. Output decimals are inherited from the ETH/USD feed (8).

## Constructor

```solidity
constructor(
    address ankrEth_,
    address nav_,
    address baseAsset_
)
```

| Parameter    | Description                                                                                |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `ankrEth_`   | ankrETH token address (also the supported underlying)                                      |
| `nav_`       | NAVCalculator (proxy) — supplies the base asset's USD price via `getPriceDataNoDivergence` |
| `baseAsset_` | The registered base asset whose USD price is read (WETH)                                   |

***

## Staleness

`getLatestPrice()` returns stale if `ratio()` returns `0`, or if the NAV reports the base asset (WETH) stale — all its feeds stale. The base leg's `updatedAt` comes from the NAV's selected WETH feed. The `ratio()` call has no independent heartbeat.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kpk.io/funds/infrastructure/onchain-accounting/price-feeds/ankreth.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
