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.
- Open app.stakewise.io and connect your wallet.
- Select the Stake tab and enter the amount of ETH you want to stake.
- Review the details.
- Click Stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
- Once confirmed, osETH will appear in your wallet and immediately start earning rewards.
Track Your Position Anytime
In the Balance tab you can view your
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.
osETH can only be minted or burned — staking mints new osETH, and unstaking burns it to release the underlying ETH. osETH bought on a DEX isn't tied to any staking position, so it won't appear in the Unstake tab. To convert market-bought osETH back to ETH, swap it in the Swap section of the StakeWise App or sell it on a DEX.
- Open app.stakewise.io and connect your wallet.

to switch from staking to unstaking mode. - Select the Unstake tab and enter the amount of osETH you want to convert back to ETH.
