rsETH: redemption value, spread and APY
rsETH is KelpDAO's liquid restaking token. ArbScreener compares what rsETH costs on a DEX with the ETH it redeems for on-chain, and shows the gap as a spread and an APY — priced in ETH, not USD.

How ArbScreener prices rsETH
The ETH value of one rsETH is the price returned by KelpDAO's LRTOracle (rsETHPrice).
The redemption spread is what redeeming returns minus what buying costs on a DEX, as a fraction of the cost, at a standard quote size and net of the protocol's fee. The APY annualizes that spread over the redeem wait (counted as at least one day), so a discount that takes weeks to collect ranks below the same discount collected today. Everything is in ETH, never USD.
