# Staking

When you stake with ether.fi you receive a **liquid restaking token (LRT)** — a token that represents your staked position and keeps earning while you hold it. Unlike traditional staking, your assets are never locked away: LRTs stay liquid and composable, so you can use them across DeFi or redeem them for the underlying asset.

ether.fi's tokens are **natively restaked** at the protocol level (via EigenLayer), giving you exposure to both base Ethereum staking rewards and restaking emissions — without the long unstaking delays of conventional liquid restaking strategies.

New to staking? Follow the [5-minute Quickstart](/etherfi/quickstart.md) first.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/products/staking.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
