StakeWise

StakeWise is a liquid staking platform designed for Ethereum that allows users to stake ETH and earn rewards while retaining liquidity through tradable tokens called osETH. It supports a broad range of users including retail stakers, institutional investors, DAOs, and professional node operators. By staking ETH with StakeWise, users receive osETH tokens representing their staked assets plus accrued rewards, which can be freely traded or used in DeFi protocols. This approach eliminates lockups and enables users to capitalize on additional yield opportunities.

The platform leverages a decentralized network of validators secured by Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) and proprietary Ethereum clients, ensuring high security and decentralization. StakeWise operates non-custodially with immutable smart contracts, so users maintain control over their assets. The protocol has undergone over $1 million in independent security audits and has paid out more than $100,000 in rewards to its community.

StakeWise also offers advanced features like StakeWise Boost, a leverage strategy that uses osETH tokens as collateral on lending platforms like Aave to borrow more ETH, restake it, and compound yields. This strategy is designed with safety buffers to minimize liquidation risk. Users can also create or join curated vaults tailored for different staking needs. Governance is community-driven through the SWISE token, allowing stakeholders to influence protocol development and earn additional rewards. Developers can integrate with StakeWise via its open SDK and APIs, with comprehensive documentation and active community support available.
