Quickstart

Stake ETH, receive weETH, and start earning — in about five minutes.

This guide takes you from zero to earning staking and restaking rewards in a few minutes. You'll stake ETH and receive weETH, ether.fi's liquid restaking token, which keeps earning while staying usable across DeFi.

1

Set up a wallet and fund it with ETH

Use any Ethereum wallet (for example MetaMask, Rabby, or a hardware wallet). Make sure it holds the ETH you want to stake, plus a little extra to cover network gas fees.

2

Open the ether.fi app and connect

Go to app.ether.fi and connect your wallet. Always check the URL — only ever connect to the official domain.

3

Stake your ETH

Enter the amount of ETH you want to stake and confirm the transaction in your wallet. You'll receive eETH in return — a rebasing token whose balance grows as rewards accrue.

4

(Optional) Wrap to weETH for DeFi

If you plan to use your position across DeFi, wrap eETH into weETH — a non-rebasing token accepted by most DeFi protocols. Many integrations use weETH directly.

5

Put your tokens to work

Hold weETH/eETH to keep earning automatically, supply it to Liquid vaults and DeFi protocols for additional yield, or spend against your holdings with the Cash card. You can redeem back to ETH whenever you like, subject to available liquidity.

What you just earned

By holding eETH/weETH you accrue base Ethereum staking rewards and restaking emissions, which are aggregated and compounded into your position automatically — no claiming required.
