# FAQ

Current answers about staking ETH and using eETH or weETH.

eETH is ether.fi's rebasing liquid staking token. weETH is its non-rebasing wrapped version, designed for use across DeFi. Both accrue Ethereum staking rewards without bundling additional restaking exposure.

## General

<details>

<summary>What is the difference between eETH and weETH?</summary>

eETH is a rebasing token, so its balance increases as Ethereum staking rewards accrue. weETH wraps eETH into a non-rebasing token: your weETH balance stays fixed while its conversion rate relative to eETH increases.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What rewards do eETH and weETH earn?</summary>

They accrue Ethereum consensus and execution-layer staking rewards. Rewards are variable and are not guaranteed. eETH and weETH do not bundle additional restaking rewards.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I stake ETH on ether.fi?</summary>

Follow [Stake with ether.fi](/etherfi/archive/introduction/stake-with-ether.fi.md) or the [5-minute Quickstart](/etherfi/quickstart.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Are eETH and weETH restaked through EigenLayer?</summary>

No. ether.fi removed bundled restaking exposure from eETH/weETH. Users who want additional restaking exposure must opt into a separate product such as [weETHs](/etherfi/products/staking/weeths-super-symbiotic.md).

ether.fi previously restaked a significant portion of protocol assets through EigenLayer. As of August 2026, less than 1% remained in an operational wind-down. See [Slashing Risk](/etherfi/security/security-and-risks/slashing-risk.md) for the dated disclosure and removal plan.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I use eETH or weETH in DeFi?</summary>

Yes. eETH and weETH are transferable and supported by a range of DeFi protocols. Third-party integrations introduce additional smart-contract, market, oracle, liquidity, and liquidation risks.

</details>

## eETH and weETH

<details>

<summary>How do I stake ETH and receive weETH?</summary>

Stake ETH through ether.fi's supported staking interface. You receive weETH at the current protocol conversion rate. eETH remains the rebasing token wrapped by weETH.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I redeem eETH or weETH for ETH?</summary>

Request redemption through ether.fi's supported interface. Completion time depends on available protocol liquidity, Ethereum validator withdrawals, and network conditions.

</details>

## weETHs, weETHk, and eBTC

<details>

<summary>How do I mint weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC?</summary>

You can mint any of these tokens via our [stake page](https://app.ether.fi/eeth) on the Ether.fi Dapp. Simply choose your desired restaking token and deposit to mint the token of your choice!

</details>

<details>

<summary>What can I do with weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC?</summary>

We have many ecosystem partners that enable these tokens to be composable throughout the DeFi ecosystem. Stay tuned to our socials for updates on new integrations.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Will these tokens be available on other chains?</summary>

Although our vaults are built to be cross-chain compatible, these staking options are currently only available on the mainnet.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I only withdraw weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC directly on Ether.fi?</summary>

While you can always withdraw these tokens from our [Stake page](https://app.ether.fi/eeth), you can also choose to swap these tokens via some of our partner protocols, such as Curve. However, please note that this may incur slippage. If you want to avoid slippage, you can withdraw directly on our [Stake page](https://app.ether.fi/eeth).

</details>

<details>

<summary>What will be my yield on weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC?</summary>

Your rewards will vary depending on the product you choose:

* **weETHs**: Earns Etherfi points, Symbiotic points, and Veda points alongside the native vault yield, represented by a 7-day trailing average APY.
* **weETHk**: Earns Etherfi points, Karak points, and Veda points alongside the native vault yield, represented by a 7-day trailing average APY.
* **eBTC**: Earns a variety of points including Lombard, Babylon, Eigenlayer, Karak, Symbiotic, Etherfi, and Veda points, along with an APY represented by a 7-day trailing average.

## Ether.fan (legacy)

The following answers concern the legacy ether.fan product. They do not describe the current reward or restaking position of eETH or weETH.

<details>

<summary>Will I be able to migrate my loyalty points attached to my ether.fan to my eETH deposit?</summary>

Yes. Users are able to swap the ETH in their fan, and associated Loyalty Points, directly from ether.fan to eETH. Note however that if you minted your fan less than 6 months ago, you will still incur the ether.fan burn fee with this swap.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Will I be able to migrate the ETH wrapped in my ether.fan to eETH?</summary>

Yes. Users are able to swap the ETH in their fan, and associated Loyalty Points as stated above, directly from ether.fan to eETH. Note that if you minted your fan < 6 months ago, you will still incur the burn fee with this swap. As always, you can withdraw up to 49% of the ETH in your [ether.fan](http://ether.fan) and mint eETH however. This will allow you to keep the loyalty points in your ether.fan (without burning your NFT) and mint eETH with the withdrawn ETH.

</details>

<details>

<summary>When will the burn fee be removed?</summary>

ether.fan holders who have held their ether.fan 6 months from the initial **mint date** will no longer pay a burn fee.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is it possible to use ether.fan NFT's as collateral in lending protocols in the future?</summary>

As of right now, this will only be possible for eETH. We encourage our community and other protocols that have use cases for ether.fan NFT's to contact us for partnerships.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I am still deposited in the EAP (early adopter pool), can I mint eETH from my EAP deposit instead of an ether.fan?</summary>

No. The migration of funds from the EAP to ether.fan / eETH is now closed. Please open a support ticket if you'd like to request assistance in withdrawing your ETH.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens to my EAP deposit? Where can I access these funds?</summary>

Your funds deposited into the EAP are not going anywhere and remain in the contract. Please note that you are not earning rewards in the Early adopter pool. We recommend that you open a ticket on ether.fi website to get support on this migration.
