Stake any amount of ETH, receive osETH, and keep your position fully liquid — all without giving up control of your assets.
The Stake Wise protocol is fully non-custodial. Validators never hold your private keys, and no single entity controls your ETH. Staked assets stay in smart contracts you can verify on-chain any time.
When you stake, the protocol mints osETH — an overcollateralized token that reprices upward daily as rewards accrue. Swap it on DEXs or use it in DeFi while your original position keeps earning.
Base staking yields around 2.32% APY on Ethereum mainnet. Activate Stake Wise Boost and the protocol loops your osETH through Aave as collateral, pushing returns toward 4.71% — with zero additional platform fee.
Four-plus years of continuous operation, roughly $1 million spent on independent security reviews, and billions in TVL secured across MetaMask, Ledger Live, and Chorus One integrations. That track record matters.
Open the Stake Wise app and connect any EVM-compatible wallet. No registration, no KYC — just your wallet address and a small amount of ETH for gas.
Browse Ethereum validator vaults ranked by APY, fee, and operator reputation, or simply click Stake and the protocol picks the default for you.
The moment your transaction confirms, osETH appears in your wallet. One osETH = slightly more than one ETH in staking value, and that ratio grows every single day.
Head to the Boost tab. The Stake Wise platform deposits your osETH as collateral on Aave v3, borrows ETH, re-stakes, and repeats — automatically managing your loan-to-value ratio to stay below the 94.5% safety ceiling.
Redeem osETH for ETH directly through the protocol or swap on a DEX. Redemptions using available unbonded ETH are instant; larger amounts trigger validator exits through the standard Ethereum queue.
An overcollateralized staked token backed by more ETH than it represents, so peg stability is structurally built in rather than relying on market sentiment.
Dozens of independent operators — including institutional names like Blockchain.com — publish their fees and performance on-chain. You pick whoever fits your risk and reward preference.
A looped leverage strategy built on Aave v3. Because osETH and ETH are nearly perfectly correlated, the protocol uses Stake Wise's own native rate feed — so DEX price manipulation cannot trigger a liquidation event.
Anyone can deploy a vault with custom operator fees and validator configurations. Node operators use this to offer white-label staking; DAOs use it for private treasury management.
osETH plugs into the broader ecosystem — lending protocols, liquidity pools, yield aggregators. Think of it as standard ERC-20, just one that grows in value over time.
In addition to Ethereum mainnet, Stake Wise runs on Gnosis Chain, issuing osGNO for GNO stakers. Developers can reference the open contracts and Foundry test suites in the official repositories.
TVL, APY history, and validator performance are all readable on-chain. No dashboard-only numbers — every figure the Stake Wise's protocol publishes maps to a verifiable contract state.
Connect your wallet on the Stake Wise app, enter how much ETH you want to stake, and confirm the transaction. You receive osETH straight away — no waiting period, no minimum beyond gas. Everything else is handled automatically by the protocol.
osETH is the overcollateralized liquid staking token minted by the Stake Wise platform. It's a standard ERC-20 that reprices upward as staking rewards accumulate — so its ETH redemption value grows every day without you doing anything.
The team behind Stake Wise has been running the protocol since 2021 and has spent close to $1 million on independent security audits. Smart contracts are non-custodial. You can verify every position on Ethereum mainnet at any time.
Yes — two ways. Swap osETH for ETH on any major DEX in seconds. Or redeem directly through Stake Wise: instant if unbonded ETH is available in the vault, otherwise validators exit through the standard Ethereum queue, typically within a few days.
Most liquid staking solutions give you a token and call it done. Stake Wise layers on a vault marketplace, optional Boost leverage, and multi-chain support (Ethereum + Gnosis). You choose how much complexity you want — from one-click simplicity to custom vault operation.
Boost uses your osETH as collateral on Aave v3, borrows ETH, re-stakes it, mints more osETH, and repeats the loop several times. Base APY sits around 2.32%; Boost can push that up to approximately 4.71%. Stake Wise charges no fee for the Boost feature itself.
