Simple Staking

The simplest way to stake with StakeWise is through the StakeWise App ↗ — deposit any amount of ETH and stake it in a single click. Your assets are routed through a Meta Vault that distributes them across the best-performing sub-Vaults — currently just the Genesis Vault, with more to come. When staking, you'll automatically receive osETH, which represents your staked assets plus accumulated rewards. osETH can be used across DeFi to boost your yield.

How to Stake​

Stake your ETH and start earning rewards immediately.

  1. Open app.stakewise.io and connect your wallet.
  2. Select the Stake tab and enter the amount of ETH you want to stake.
  3. Review the details.
  4. Click Stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
  5. Once confirmed, osETH will appear in your wallet and immediately start earning rewards.

Boost​

Once you have osETH in your wallet, you can optionally Boost your position to amplify your staking yield. Boost uses your osETH as collateral on Aave to borrow ETH, which is then restaked automatically.

How to Unstake​

Unstaking is just as simple — convert your osETH back to ETH directly in the StakeWise app whenever you want. If you have an active Boost position, switch to the Unboost tab to exit it before unstaking.

  1. Open app.stakewise.io and connect your wallet.
  2. Click the swap arrows icon (top-left) to switch from staking to unstaking mode.
  3. Select the Unstake tab and enter the amount of osETH you want to convert back to ETH.
  4. Review the details.
  5. Click Unstake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
  6. Once confirmed, your ETH (original stake plus accumulated rewards) will be returned to your wallet.
IconUnstaking Times
  • If you unstake an amount equal to or less than what you staked, your request enters the exit queue — the wait time is shown in the Exit duration field.
  • If you unstake more than you staked (e.g. you also bought osETH on the market), the staked portion enters the exit queue while the rest is swapped instantly via an exchange.
  • If you never staked and only bought osETH on the market, the swap happens instantly via an exchange.
