Stake

Why should I stake my ETH?

Staking ETH allows you to participate in the Ethereum network's consensus (securing the network) and earn rewards in the form of newly issued Ethereum tokens. It's a way to generate passive income from your current ETH holdings.

How does liquid staking offer advantages over simple staking?

Liquid staking provides you with a representative token (like ETHx) that can be traded or used in DeFi protocols while still earning staking rewards. This significantly enhances the liquidity and utility of your staked assets.

What is the minimum and maximum amount of ETH that can be staked with Stader?

  • Minimum limit - The minimum amount that can be staked with Stader is 0.0001 ETH

  • Maximum limit - There is no upper limit on the amount of ETH which you can stake.

How many ETHx tokens do I receive after staking my ETH?

The number of ETHx tokens you receive depends on the amount of ETH you stake and the current ETH-to-ETHx exchange rate. For a simple calculation, you will receive ETHx tokens equal to the amount of ETH staked divided by the exchange rate. For example, if you stake 10 ETH and the current exchange rate is 1.2, you will receive 10 divided by 1.2, which equals 8.33 ETHx.

How to add ETHx to your wallet's token list?

If you have not imported ETHx as a token in your wallet, you can do so by clicking the “Add ETHx” button above the input box on the Stader-ETHx dApp. After clicking this button, you just need to provide confirmation/approval from your wallet, and ETHx will be imported and visible in the list along with other tokens. Please note that you will need to perform this action separately for the Ethereum and Arbitrum One networks.

What are the staking and unstaking token conditions for ETH staking on Stader?

On Ethereum Network:

  • Staking: Users can stake their ETH to receive ETHx.

  • Unstaking: Users will receive ETH back after unstaking their ETHx

On Arbitrum One Network:

  • Staking: Users can stake their ETH to receive ETHx.

  • Unstaking: To unstake, users must use a DEX to swap their ETHx for ETH. Also, you can bridge your ETHx from Arbitrum One to the Ethereum network and then unstake it for ETH. You can check our Bridge section for DEX and Bridge options.
