# Stake with Ether.fi

We aim to bolster Ethereum's decentralization by simplifying non-custodial staking. While recognizing the complexities of staking, we strive to enable participation for all users. Achieving decentralization requires a collective effort, with individuals contributing diverse skills to the network.

Given this, we have built solutions for users just beginning their Ethereum journey along with long time Ethereum contributoors 🫡 These options are provided below.

<table><thead><tr><th width="140">Options</th><th width="165">Permission Type</th><th width="142">Complexity</th><th width="170">Key Management</th><th>Staking min.</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Mint eETH</td><td>Permissionless</td><td>Easy</td><td>Relies on security of other stakers</td><td>.01</td></tr><tr><td>Mint weETHs, weETHk or eBTC</td><td>Permissionless</td><td>Easy</td><td>Relies on our vault partners</td><td>.01</td></tr><tr><td>Operation Solo Staker</td><td>Permissioned (Until Q3 2024)</td><td>Intermediate to advanced</td><td>DVT for key management</td><td>0</td></tr><tr><td>Bond 2 ETH for BNFT</td><td>Permissioned <br>(Until Q3 2024)</td><td>Complex</td><td>Own your keys</td><td>2 ETH</td></tr></tbody></table>

**How to get involved:**

* To mint **eETH**, **weETHs**, **weETHk** or **eBTC** simply go to the [ether.fi dapp](https://app.ether.fi) and stake your tokens! &#x20;
* To become a **Solo Staker**, see [onboarding docs](/etherfi/solo-stakers/operation-solo-staker) 💪
* To **Bond 2 ETH for BNFT** see our [stakers guide](/etherfi/solo-stakers/32-eth-stakers). Note that this is still permissioned.


# Loyalty Points

How do loyalty points work on ether.fi?

*This will address Loyalty Points as they relate to eETH/weETH only. With regards to* [*ether.fan*](http://ether.fan/)*, Loyalty Points will continue to accrue in the same way they always have. For more, see* [*ether.fan Loyalty Points*](https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/getting-started/pages/hNcbUTeajT66s8MRKnhc#ether.fan-loyalty-points)*. One other important clarification is that ALL LOYALTY POINTS (from* [*ether.fi*](http://ether.fi/) *or ether.fan) ARE THE SAME. This includes Loyalty Points earned from the Early Adopter Pool, ether.fan, eETH and weETH. A point is a point. There are simply just some more nuanced use cases for them in ether.fan that relate to the gamified environment that the community has created, and we envision the same for eETH as we continue to hit on our roadmap.*&#x200B;

### **ether.fi Loyalty Points**

eETH/weETH holders, eBTC, eUSD, Liquid vaults and using ether.fi assets in integrated DeFi protocols will earn [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) Loyalty Points.

1. The protocol will pass 100% of points and any benefits from points to users and will not withhold ANY points
2. The points you see in your dashboard is an estimate that accounts for the point delay in activating a natively restaked validator, as points only begin to accrue once the validator is active on the beacon chain. This variation can range from 10-20% depending on the volume of ETH inflow into the protocol on a day.&#x20;

The protocol only grants points based on your eETH/weETH balance, in your wallet or in an LP/vault, and the amount of eETH you have can fluctuate if you're in an LP. See [Integrations - Points](/etherfi/getting-started/loyalty-points/integrations-points) for further details of each integration.

**Where will Loyalty Points be displayed.**

They are shown on the [ether.fi Dapp Portfolio tab](https://app.ether.fi/portfolio) once you connect your wallet. These points will accrue in real time.​

**What can I do with Loyalty Points?**

Loyalty Points play a role in understanding your participation in the ether.fi protocol, reviewed at the end of a [Season](https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/events/previous-seasons) where additional rewards are distributed to stakers. &#x20;

​**How to earn Loyalty Points.**

The easiest way is to simply stake your assets on [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) or depositing into a [Liquid vault](https://app.ether.fi/liquid). As we continue to rollout our partnerships and integrations, we will implement programs for users to begin earning additional points for LP’ing into DeFi protocols that we integrate with, referring frens, quests to L2’s, etc. etc. Please be aware that you **will only continue to earn Loyalty Points** if your wallet is holding ether.fi assets such as weETH or eBTC, holding a Liquid vault position, or if you have followed one of the ecosystem paths that we have provided on our [DeFi tab](https://app.ether.fi/defi).​

**Loyalty Points Formula:**

Season 1 Rules:

&#x20;    Staking .001 Ether, earned you 1 points / day.&#x20;

&#x20;    This simply meant that loyalty points earned = ETH staked \* 1000\* days staked

&#x20;    Example: If you had 5 ETH staked for 6 days, you would have received 30k loyalty points (5 \* 1000 \*6) 💪

&#x20;    For our whales, there was a sizeable cap on total loyalty points earned of 10¹².​\
\
Season 2+ Rules:

&#x20;    For Season 2, all points earned after March 15th will now receive an automatic 10x boost!

&#x20;    This means staking .001 Ether now earns you 10 points / day

&#x20;    To put it simply, Season 2 loyalty points earned = ETH staked \* 10000 \* days staked.

&#x20;    Example: If you have 5 ETH staked for 6 days, you will now receive 300k loyalty points (5 \* 10000 \*6) 💪💪💪

&#x20;    Please note that this equation does not include potential multipliers such as StakeRank and DeFi integration boosts.

**Can I lose my Loyalty Points?**

No. You will not lose any of your Loyalty Points in relation to your ether.fi assets and positions. They will simply stop accruing if you no longer hold these assets in your wallet. As mentioned, once turned on, activities such as LP’ing into various protocols and moving your ETH to L2’s will also continue to generate you Loyalty Points. Join the discord for updates on this rollout as eETH becomes composable throughout all of DeFi.

**Risks Involved with Points Earned from Liquidity Pools (LP)**

Please note that the point tracking ratio on liquidity pools is always changing. Points are given to the pool based on the ratio of our token (weETH) to another token(s) in the pool. For that reason, the ratio of points given out is constantly changing. To compensate for less points, there may be a boost; please take all of this into consideration if you are trying to maximize points.

​**Loyalty Points for Operation Solo Stakers, Bond holders (B-NFT’s) and 32 ETH Stakers**

These members are pivotal pieces of our ecosystem and we want to ensure we recognize them as such. Rest assured we have extra boosts and acknowledgements for the foundational backbone of the protocol and Ethereum network. More to come on this for your service. 🫡​

**Can I transfer my Loyalty Points?**

No.​

**Badges**

Badges are a way to collect additional loyalty points by performing certain actions. We are constantly adding more badges for various events! [See our badges page for more info.](/etherfi/getting-started/loyalty-points/badges)&#x20;

**See info on** [Integrations - Points](/etherfi/getting-started/loyalty-points/integrations-points)

### Points Incident of *Feb 13-Feb 21*

We take points very seriously and we know you do as well, for that reason we are documenting the events of the past week, explaining why we've been changing the underlying infrastructure and how some errors were introduced during the migration.

When we initially built our initial points system, it was within the span of a few days and many late nights, we imagined having 1 or 2 DeFi integrations a month and a relatively small amount of traffic, since the initial version was generally keeping up we didn't think much of it until things started picking up this year and DeFi integrations are now being added every week.

We kicked off on our journey to build a new and improved service that syncs all the degen data on the blockchain where eETH is being used, this service is much faster at syncing everything from scratch and has better recovery built in, in case of failure.

We proceeded to deploy this new service on **13 Feb 2024** and did some testing after which we got really excited and released it into the wild, we were also excited because we knew this new service would increase the points in a lot of valid cases, since the previous service had downtime and did experience some errors that we noted quite a while back, causing some distribution failures.

The only thing we missed was that unfortunately the UI still had older logic in place where points being calculated in a specific way related to the old service but not account for the new service, this affected EigenLayer points and ether.fi loyalty points, causing a very unfortunate bug where points for DeFi integrations were being double counted and showing another 2x boost on top of already boosted point generation :scream:

We initially deployed the first fix for this **16 Feb 2024** believing only EigenLayer points were affected, but during testing with our beta-tester group on **20 Feb 2024** for the latest release for new DeFi integrations, we came to the conclusion that the bug affecting EigenLayer points also affected ether.fi loyalty points, were are deploying a fix for this today, **21 Feb 2024**.

*TLDR*

A new points service was released recently and while the points service is much improved on the previous version, a UI bug caused some points to be double counted.

This has now been resolved, and all points should now reflect correctly. For many ether.fi users that saw their points increase at a double rate during that time period will see a significant point reduction in their dashboard.

To give greater transparency moving forward, we are working on a points history view in the dapp that will display points as they are earned over time.

Apologies to all either.fi members impacted by this display issue.


# Badges

Ether.fi Badges serve as Loyalty Point recognition, highlighting accomplishments and contributions of users within the protocol ecosystem. Each badge is uniquely designed for active eETH/weETH holders and participation in ether.fi community and events.

There are two types of badges, variable and static. The variable badges have levels that you can unlock as you progress or stake more, where static badges are a one of kind badge that's unlocked by a certain action. As variable badges can increase with progress / more ETH staked, the same holds true if there is a reduction in the eETH/weETH held by the wallet. This means that points can go down by the same proportional amount. For static badges, they will remain as long as there is eETH/weETH held in the associated wallet.

[**See your Portfolio tab**](https://app.ether.fi/portfolio) for current available badges


# Referrals

This referral program covers ETH deposits on Ethereum mainnet and L2s at app.ether.fi. Each 0.1 ETH staked via ether.fi earns the person who stakes and the person who referred 10000 loyalty points.

**Note**: Referral points may take up to 2 hours to display in your Portfolio.

### Referrals on ether.fi

Referrals are now live for ether.fi eETH staking! You can generate your referral link by connecting your wallet on [https://www.ether.fi](https://www.ether.fi/) and then navigating to the portfolio page where you'll find a button to generate the link.

On sharing your link with your friend, they should see a confirmation message when they stake ETH.

For every 0.1 ETH staked, you and your friend will both earn 10,000 loyalty points!

&#x20;

Happy staking and remember to spread the cheer to everyone!

### Other notables

The protocol reserves the right to review and remove any instances of users gaming the referral point program. This program is meant to promote the ecosystem and is not designed for users to gain an unfair advantage through wallet manipulation tactics.&#x20;


# Integrations - Points

Users who provide liquidity and deposit in particular pools that the protocol has integrated have the opportunity to earn yield from those protocols, while still accruing ether.fi loyalty points and may also earn additional protocol partner points. Below is a breakdown of the pools supported along with a how to of how to deposit to ensure rewards are earned.

### Pendle

The yield market on Pendle can be largely separated into 3 positions for eETH:

1. [PT - Fixed yield](#id-1.-pt-eeth)
2. [LP - Single asset exposure farming strategy](#id-2.-eeth-lp)
3. [YT - Yield strategy. Biggest risk/reward](#id-3.-yt-eeth)

[Liquid lockers](#liquid-lockers) for Pendle enables users to enjoy boosted Pendle rewards by providing liquidity without needing to hold any vePENDLE, while continuing to earn both ether.fi loyalty points.

#### 1. PT-eETH

PT = principal token representing the principal only at maturity.

This strategy consists of depositing your eETH into the Pendle protocol for a fixed duration, and earning a fixed yield at maturity. In this scenario you’re earning staking yield (\~27% at time of writing) for the duration of your deposit. Note that this strategy does not earn you EiegenLayer and [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi) points. You are simply locking in a fixed yield in ETH.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/OAL95FQNFu-MRANh4r7SrCsNcKQ9kgidAvNxPaoS996OhddpVaSOCheVJLnebc2Airt-6vX0_4PSjMidMwLQB8OuDCX7JztSZocdQodl83BBSZY6ExJ7RWbSqveiKp8NUFKlYeGhMxhJXa1pmL7akGE" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In the image above, 1 ETH enables you to purchase 1.0979 PT. In other words, you’re foregoing points for a guaranteed 9.79% return until maturity. At the time of writing, that translates to \~27.18% APY. Note: PT is not locked, you can sell PT at any time at the market rate

#### 2. eETH-LP

By providing liquidity to the pool, you will be getting a yield burger.

* [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi) Loyalty points
* ETH staking yield
* Swap fees
* Pendle incentives
* PT eETH fixed yield.

The LP position consists of PT-eETH + SY-eETH. SY portion earns yield. This is also single asset exposure, meaning IL is minimal. The ratio of PT-eETH and SY-eETH in LP can be checked [here](https://app.pendle.finance/trade/pools/0xf32e58f92e60f4b0a37a69b95d642a471365eae8/zap/in?chain=ethereum).&#x20;

Note: The ratio of LP is always changing.

***Zero Price Impact Mode Enabled:***

To maximize point earnings ([ether.fi](http://ether.fi) points) without participating in liquid lockers, enable zero price impact when zapping in.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/sxn2qUFiggkLcWrEXdHV" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If zero price impact mode is enabled, a portion of eETH (SY-eETH) will be converted to YT-eETH and a portion of eETH (SY-eETH) will be converted to PT-eETH to create LP-eETH (PT-eETH/SY-eETH) SY-eETH and YT-eETH can earn points. You will earn Etherfi Loyalty points from the amount (SY-eETH + YT-eETH). It will be 2x Etherfi Loyalty points point from amount eETH you deposit to create LP on Pendle.

***Zero Price Impact Mode Disabled:***

The eETH LP is a SY/PT position. With this mode disabled, zapping into Pendle converts a portion of your eETH (or SY-eETH) into PT-eETH to LP. The YT-eETH are sold for equivalent amounts of PT/SY to be LP-ed. This increases your LP, in turn you will lose YT therefore reducing your points earnings to no more than 1x Etherfi loyalty points.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/AFaJx2XRs5QI1xcwJit56Rf-aHBWi8euIp0TPBRiHdUSJbac2UUOlTTky8mY_Wdwf1l8hzS3WU4LwLq4jkRU0O_oPgy8qP0JQgCE59gOOj4IZ4NxeSTLj1nkAKU833GlGhCC3AjEP5WmYraKIR1CioM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Regarding the 1x Etherfi loyalty points - The ratio of PT-eTH and SY-eETH (eETH) in LP is always changing, so amount of SY-eETH (eETH) in LP will always change therefore the points you earn will change. Points earned will not be fixed

Note that depositing this position into a liquid locker increases your Etherfi Loyalty points earnings may get an additional boost.

&#x20;For further reading - see Pendle doc's[ here](https://pendle.gitbook.io/pendle-academy/ecosystem-and-resources/lrt-points-trading)

#### 3. YT-eETH

This is where things get interesting. Enter leveraged points. YT is the yield token (for points and yield), representing the yield of the underlying asset until maturity.

Every 1 YT-eETH you own will stream all the yield and points generated by 1 eETH to you until maturity. At the current time of writing, every 1 eETH gives you yield and points exposure to a 11.18 eETH position. The price of YT is subject to market rates depending on how the market values it.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/uiU7hZcCvbLLYqVW_ZsrhDxbHTe_QrkLkQ_giBJkTnTk9vAgxe-KtM0qN7s0klhc2x38KK5Tmp4MUGGNKls-xigT5KLO-e2dpxb-uP-NOd2k_10Eb3g-6hDUD6523oeK8vj-sl6Rr1sfR6Yrvn-UVjo" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Note: YT is not locked, you can sell YT at any time at the market rate

This is where points speculations comes into play when determining if YT is priced correctly, which is not for discussion here. Normally, you look at the long yield APY to determine the price you’re willing to pay. But again, in this case with eETH, there are other factors to consider such as [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi) loyalty points .

Degen responsibly.

#### Liquid Lockers

Liquid lockers currently integrated into ether.fi's point tracking are listed below:

[Equilibria](https://equilibria.fi/stake)

<figure><img src="/files/ScLtu0hX65hUQ8xbYSzv" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[Penpie](https://www.pendle.magpiexyz.io/stake/0xF32e58F92e60f4b0A37A69b95d642A471365EAe8)

<figure><img src="/files/MphqPZ4gqR52rTq5qDmZ" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Stakedao -  coming soon. This locker is not currently retroactively being tracked.

*Acknowledgements to Pendle Intern for the thread work in helping to construct the above*

### Bribe Pools

#### Penpie

We are currently tracking ether.fi points for the Penpie Bribe Pools on Ethereum. We are also tracking points off-chain for Arbitrum, and they will be retroactively rewarded. Learn more about this pool [here](https://www.pendle.magpiexyz.io/bribe/).

#### Equilibria

We are currently tracking ether.fi points for the Equilibria Bribe Pools on Ethereum. Learn more about this pool [here](https://equilibria.fi/vote/).

### Morpho Blue

We have integrated with Morpho Blue to allow users to deposit weETH as collateral to borrow ETH. This can be done [here](https://app.morpho.org/borrow). Points are tracking on ether.fi.

<figure><img src="/files/oHMO051j7wLUdoQBPsRH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Points are tracked as follows:

* The weETH deposited as collateral will continue to earn ether.fi points at 1x. It would be the same as holding weETH.&#x20;
* Looping is permitted. Points will accrue based on the deposited collateral.
* The ether.fi protocol and Morpho Blue have provided USDC and Morpho incentives to the supply side of the market; however, to further incentivize, 1x ether.fi points will be awarded for supplying ETH. They will accrue at the same value as holding weETH.

We encourage users who want to learn more to refer to the Morpho Blue [AdaptativeCurveIRM](https://docs.morpho.org/concepts/morpho-blue/core-concepts/irm/).

### Silo

We have integrated with Silo to allow users to deposit weETH as collateral to borrow ETH. This can be done[ here](https://app.silo.finance/silo/0xCD7ae3373F7e76A817238261b8303FA17D2AF585). Points are tracking on ether.fi.

<figure><img src="/files/nVy5BzvYTXkFpRlcaTb7" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is a symmetric market, meaning usesrs can deposit weETH and borrow ETH, and vice versa.&#x20;

Points are tracked as follows:

* The weETH deposited as collateral will continue to earn ether.fi points proportional to the amount of weETH in the deposit contract. As this is a symmetric market, users can deposit ETH and borrow weETH, which reduces the supply side of weETH.
* Looping is permitted. Points will accrue based on the deposited collateral as above.
* Both the ether.fi and Silo protocols have provided Silo incentives to the supply side of the market; however, to further incentivize, 1x ether.fi points will be awarded for supplying ETH. They will accrue at the same value as holding weETH.&#x20;

Additionally, we are tracking points for the weETH-ETH-USDC pool on Silo on Arbitrum. Points are currently tracking and will be retroactively rewarded.

### Curve

***Points:** Ether.fi Loyalty Points*

*\*\*Update\*\* Points earned on the weETH-rswETH pool are accruing in the database and will be shown retroactively on the front end for deposits.*&#x20;

We have integrated LP tracking with the weETH/WETH pool deployed on Curve. Link [here](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools/factory-stable-ng-22/deposit).&#x20;

either.fi loyalty points are awarded based on your weETH holdings in the pool, and then boosted 2x. As is the case with any other liquidity pool, loyalty points can fluctuate based on the total amount of weETH in the pool.

Action required to stake in the pool

1. Stake your ETH with [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) and wrap your eETH to weETH. weETH is the non-rebasing token that has been designed for DeFi.
2. Go to the DeFi tab and click the link that takes you directly to the Curve pool.

<figure><img src="/files/SYlRf8GuiWAvnTbfWW4g" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. Once on the Curve pool page, connect your wallet and deposit the amount of weETH and WETH that you would like. Note the below has just been shown for illustrative purposes. This position will continue to earn [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) loyalty points.

<figure><img src="/files/U5g06fQwhuMfNFyGAu44" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. After you deposit your assets, you can then stake the LP token to earn the emissions provided by the pool.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/K2tcZhQRxMVWved0jr5n" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. You’re now staked in the Curve pool earning LP rewards, and boosted [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) Loyalty points

*Share based pool - Points earnings*

You may notice a discrepancy in [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) Loyalty Points. This is due to the fact that when you deposit to the curve pool, you receive a weETH/WETH Curve liquidity pool token representing your share of the total pool, meaning you no longer solely hold the weETH or WETH contributed, rather your current holdings represent your share of all assets in the pool. For example, say you deposited 10 weETH and no WETH, and after doing so, the pools is composed of 40 weETH and 60 WETH. As a result, you now own \~10% of the pool (10/100) assuming weETH to WETH is priced 1:1 (which is an assumption made solely for illustrative purposes). In this scenario you will only earn [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) points on 10% of the weETH in the pool (40\*10%). To put it another way, you earn points proportional to the amount of pool tokens u hold. If you hold x pool token and there’s 10x total pool tokens then you will earn loyalty pts the pool is accruing.

### Maverick

***Points:** Ether.fi Loyalty Points*

We have integrated LP tracking for the following pools deployed on Maverick:

* [ETH - weETH #72](https://app.mav.xyz/boosted-positions/0x1973c07a2bb43cad0fd46eed2dd3a80628ff80b7?chain=1)
* [weETH - rsWETH #92](https://app.mav.xyz/boosted-positions/0x829ceb0665b00af5b34df3c4a00fe5ca453fc261?chain=1)
* [ETH - weETH #95](https://app.mav.xyz/boosted-positions/0x4650c64a8136f7bc2616a524cb44cfb240e33a40?chain=1)

This tracking has been designed for users to continue to earn loyalty points while being able to provide liquidity into the pool and earn the yield associated with the pool.

Action required to stake in the pool

1. Stake your ETH with [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) and wrap your eETH to weETH. weETH is the non-rebasing token that has been designed for DeFi.
2. Go to the DeFi tab and click the link that takes you directly to the Maverick pools.

<figure><img src="/files/EhUsSNOFR5rLFC1PaQQg" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. Once on the Maverick pool page, connect your wallet and deposit the amount of weETH and ETH. This position will continue to earn [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) loyalty points.

Guide [here](https://docs.mav.xyz/guides/liquidity-providers/how-to-add-liquidity) on adding liquidity to Maverick

Note that there is the “auto stake” option for your deposit. This will allow you to stake to the pool to earn the emissions provided by the pool.&#x20;

4. You’re now staked in the Maverick pool earning LP rewards, and boosted [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) Loyalty points.

You may notice a discrepancy in [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) Loyalty Points. This is due to the fact that when you deposit to the Maverick pool you hold a concentrated liquidity position, and the composition of this position can move from 0% to 100% weETH depending on the price and trading in the pool. If you want to make sure you continue to earn points you should either contribute just one side (weETH) or a wide position so the price doesn't move outside their range More information can be found [here](https://docs.mav.xyz/guides/liquidity-providers/how-to-check-position-balances) regarding your position balances.

### Gravita

***Points:** Ether.fi Loyalty Points*

We have integrated tracking on Vessels on Gravita.

This tracking has been designed for users to continue to earn points while being able to provide borrow GRAI against their weETH.

We are currently tracking points live on the dashboard for Gravita on Ethereum, and tracking points off-chain for Gravita on Arbitrum. Points earned from the Arbitrum vessel will be rewarded retroactively.

Action required to open up a vessel&#x20;

1. Stake your ETH with [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) and wrap your eETH to weETH. weETH is the non-rebasing token that has been designed for DeFi.
2. Go to the DeFi tab and click the link that takes you directly to the Gravita Vessel.

<figure><img src="/files/2ZLNgX1quAZOeiHhokFp" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3. Once on the Gravita page, you can connect your wallet and deposit the amount of weETH that you would like. This weETH deposited will continue to earn ether.fi loyalty points.

<figure><img src="/files/is00UOppFf9H4tF6RZLs" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Term Finance

* Term finance is a fixed rate lending platform that allows users to use tokens as collateral to borrow ETH or USDC.
* The partnership between [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) and Term will allow users to borrow ETH against their eETH liquid restaking tokens.
  * The mechanism of matching lenders and borrowers and determining the interest rate is timed auction.
  * Borrowers specify the amount of eETH they want to provide as collateral, and the amount of ETH they want to borrow, along with the maximum interest rate they are willing to pay..
  * Lenders specify the amount of ETH they are willing to lend and the minimum interest rate they are willing to accept.
  * When the auction time runs out a clearing interest rate is determined and the pool runs for a predetermined time - in this case for 1 month.
  * Something to keep in mind as a borrower is that you can borrow ETH at a certain rate and stake it into eETH, and then deposit that eETH into Pendle for as much as 25% APR - so it’s reasonable to expect that there will be some arbitrage taking place.

Points will be awareded as follows:

* Borrowers who supply eETH as collateral will continue to earn [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) loyalty points as normal.
* It may take a few days for points to show up on the [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) portfolio page, but points are being tracked and will be properly awarded from day one.
* Lenders will also earn [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) points at the same rate as if they were holding eETH (i.e. 1000 points per day per 1 ETH lent.)
* This makes the Term integration unique in that users can earn [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) points and an interest rate on their ETH.
* Of course this opens up the possibility of leveraged [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) staking, by providing eETH as collateral and then staking the borrowed ETH back into eETH allowing users to double the number of points they’re earning

# Multichain Ecosystem

Both weETH and eBTC are available across multiple chains via LayerZero. Users can natively mint these assets on L2s and alt-L1s directly in our dapp, then immediately use them in DeFi applications or bridge to other supported chains.

Some chains, such as Arbitrum for weETH, utilize canonical bridges. These canonical bridges only support transfers between Ethereum Mainnet and the specific L2 network, with no direct L2-to-L2 bridging supported. When using the bridge tab in our dapp, the network selector will automatically redirect you to the appropriate official bridge interface for your selected chain.

Note: Canonical bridge weETH deployments are separate from LayerZero-enabled chains. Users must use each chain's official bridge interface when working with these deployments.

# weETH Partial Bridge Deprecation

#### Overview

As part of hardening our cross-chain infrastructure, ether.fi is deprecating weETH bridging on a small subset of chains. Consolidating onto fewer, higher-activity chains reduces risk and allows us to focus security resources where they matter most.

#### Deprecated Chains

The following chains will have weETH bridging disabled on **June 30, 2026**:

**Scroll, Swell, Bera, zkSync, Mode, Blast, Morph, Sonic**

These were selected based on usage, TVL, and integration depth. Additional chains may be deprecated in the future based on the same criteria. Any future deprecations will be communicated with ample advance notice.

#### What You Need to Do

If you hold weETH on any of the deprecated chains, bridge it back to Ethereum or another supported chain before **June 30, 2026**.

#### After Deprecation

If you miss the deadline, recovery is still possible. Reach out to our support team and we'll process your recovery manually. A fixed fee of **0.5 weETH** applies to cover the manual handling.


# FAQ

eETH launched on November 15th, 2023 🚀

eETH, brought to you by ether.fi, is a Liquid Restaking Token that allows users to stake their ETH to accrue staking rewards and automatically restake their ETH in EigenLayer. weETH is the wrapped non rebasing version of eETH that can be used throughout the DeFI ecosystem. ether.fi will be working with DeFi partners to create utility for weETH including Balancer, Gravita, Pendle, Aura, Maverick, and many more, as well as other layer two protocols proceeding the launch date.

Please see FAQ below outlining all the various protocol changes that have been rolled out along with answers related to restaking. This will be a living document that will evolve as we get feedback from our community. That said, we encourage our community to reach out with any questions that they have and join our discussion on [discord](https://discord.com/invite/zqGzcuQWvD).

**General**&#x20;

1. How do I earn rewards from my ETH being natively restaked on EigenLayer?
   * As EigenLayer is not yet in its final form to onboard active validator services, we can not provide a reliable estimate of these rewards. That being said, Ether.fi will be remitting any rewards received from EigenLayer that are earned from being an early depositor into the protocol.&#x20;
2. Do I have to restake my ETH?
   * No. this is all handled by [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi). You simply need to mint eETH and the protocol takes care of the rest.&#x20;
3. How can I stake ETH on ether.fi?
   * refer to [Stake with Ether.fi](/etherfi/getting-started/stake-with-ether.fi)
4. Will all ETH staked in ether.fi be natively restaked?
   * Yes.&#x20;
5. I thought there were limits on the amount of ETH or liquid staking tokens that could be deposited into EigenLayer? 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️
   * **There are NO LIMITS on the amount of ETH that can be natively restaked into EigenLayer**. The limits only exist for LST's that are looking to restake the LST into EigenLayer (stETH, rETH, cbETH). Until eETH, this was the only simple way to deposit into the EigenLayer protocol.
6. Will I still be able to use my LST token in DeFi while it is deposited in ether.fi?
   * Staking with eETH on [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) automatically restakes your ETH and accrues staking rewards while allowing users to use eETH in other DeFi protocols. No other liquid staking protocol has this capability. Currently when users restake their other LST's as mentioned above, they lock their tokens, which breaks composability in DeFi. That is due to these LST's not providing a **native** **EigenLayer restaking integration**

**eETH**

1. How do I mint eETH?
   * You can mint eETH through the ether.fi Dapp. Similar to other liquid staking protocols, simply stake your ETH, and in return, receive eETH.
2. What will I be able to do with eETH
   * We have many ecosystem partners which will allow eETH to be composable throughout the defi ecosystem. Please stay tuned to our socials for updates on launched integrations.
3. Will eETH be available on other chains
   * refer to [Layerzero](https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/getting-started/multichain-ecosystem/secure-bridging-with-layerzero)
4. Can I only unwrap eETH directly on ether.fi
   * Yes.
5. What will be my yield on eETH?
   * You will earn Ethereum execution and consensus layer staking rewards + loyalty points + EigenLayer restaking rewards. As EigenLayer is not yet in its final form to onboard active validator services, we can not provide a reliable estimate of these rewards. That being said, Ether.fi will be remitting any rewards received from EigenLayer that are earned from being an early depositor into the protocol - this is inclusive of any points received.&#x20;

#### **weETHs, weETHk, and eBTC**

**1. How do I mint weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC?**

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!

**2. What can I do with weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC?**

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.

**3. Will these tokens be available on other chains?**

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

**4. Can I only withdraw weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC directly on Ether.fi?**

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).

**5. What will be my yield on weETHs, weETHk, or eBTC?**

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**

With the roll-out of eETH, we want to ensure we address any questions regarding how ether.fans will co-exist.&#x20;

1. Do I need to deposit the ETH in my ether.fan into EigenLayer for it to be restaked?
   * No. This is all handled by the protocol in the back-end. You just need to simply continue holding your ether.fan and the rest will be taken care of on your behalf.
2. Will I be able to migrate my loyalty points attached to my [ether.fan](http://ether.fan) to my eETH deposit?
   * 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.
3. Will I be able to migrate the ETH wrapped in my [ether.fan](http://ether.fan) to eETH?
   * 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.
4. When will the burn fee be removed?
   * ether.fan holders who have held their ether.fan 6 months from the initial **mint date** will no longer pay a burn fee.
5. Is it possible to use ether.fan NFT's as collateral in lending protocols in the future?
   * 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.
6. I am still deposited in the EAP (early adopter pool), can I mint eETH from my EAP deposit instead of an ether.fan.
   * 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.
7. What happens to my EAP deposit? Where can I access these funds?
   * 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.

# Bitget Boost

From Jan 27 to Feb 16 2025

Introducing The Bitget Boost event!

<figure><img src="/files/pZxxcPTExhOdWogHq4A8" alt=""><figcaption><p>We couldn't wait for this one, so we started our first Season 5 event a bit early</p></figcaption></figure>

## **Earn over 1.5 Million** ETHFI rewards with Bitget!

Bitget’s HodlerYield event is on, awarding weETH depositors 500K ETHFI. \
**We’ve boosted those rewards to a total 1.5 Million ETHFI!**

Stake and receive weETH while The Bitget Boost event is on and earn ETHFI rewards from Jan 27 through February 16, 2025. Some conditions apply.

## How it works

1. [Stake weETH in ether.fi during the event.](https://app.ether.fi/weeth) The more you stake, the more you earn. 500K ETHFI rewards are allocated to stakers of new weETH during the event.
2. Stack your rewards with Bitget’s 500K ETHFI HodlerYield campaign with a 500K ETHFI reward boost. Deposit weETH in Bitget during the event and hold it for at least 2 weeks in a Spot or USDT-M Futures account.
3. Confirm your deposit through the form found on your [ether.fi Portfolio](https://app.ether.fi/portfolio). Simply submit your wallet transaction ID that confirms your deposit of weETH into your Bitget account.
4. At the end of the event, your allocation of earned ETHFI from Bitget deposits will be added to your Bitget account. Any ETHFI earned from the staking and receiving weETH during the event will be added to your total earned ether.fi rewards at the end of Season 5. The formula to distribute ETHFI tokens = 500K worth of ETHFI / $Amount weETH Staked between Jan 27 - Feb 16 and 500K worth of ETHFI / $Amount weETH deposited and held for at least 14 days in a Bitget Spot or USDT-M Futures account. See Bitget [HodlerYield rules for info](https://www.bitget.cloud/support/articles/12560603821501) on remaining 500K ETHFI rewards

## Conditions

* ETHFI rewards are limited 1M ETHFI tokens during the event. Additional 500K ETHFI rewards are part of Bitget’s weETH HodlerYield event
* The Bitget Boost rewards are only applicable to weETH minted during the event period
* Any attempt to exploit loopholes or manipulate the rules to game the system, will result in disqualification for this event and all of your points on all accounts will be removed. Withdrawing 95% or more of your [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi) position before or shortly after Season 5 would disqualify you from this event. For example, if you had 1 ETH staked and withdrew 0.94 ETH (94%), you'd still qualify. However, withdrawing 0.95 ETH or more would disqualify you.
* Your eligible balance will be determined by the difference of the end of campaign balance, minus the start balance.
* Total staked amount includes positions in DeFi, moving your position to a retro active integration may result in the display of your eligible balance decreasing.
* The 1M ETHFI pool of rewards is split between both weETH stakers/Bitget depositors.
* See Bitget HodlerYield Rules for additional conditions <https://www.bitget.cloud/support/articles/12560603821501>

# Season 3


# Season 3: Diamond Campaign

<figure><img src="/files/R07FehQrdCXRFK1Udxbi" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## TL;DR <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

* We are adding more ETHFI rewards to Season 3. In addition to the 25M ETHFI that will be distributed to all eligible Season 3 participants, users can earn more ETHFI from the Diamond Campaign!
* Diamond Campaign runs from Monday, July 29th 00:01 UTC until September 14, 2024
* Stakers receive 0.1 ETHFI per day per new ETH staked during the Diamond Campaign
* Existing stakers earn too! An equal amount of ETHFI will be matched to award all existing stakers, with a minimum of 1 million ETHFI being added
* Season 1 and Season 2 Perks Passport boosts will be applied, all other Perks Passport boosts are null
* Referrals program is upgraded

## Overview <a href="#key-benefits" id="key-benefits"></a>

1. **Bonus rewards:**  When ETH is staked during the Diamond Campaign, 0.1 ETHFI per day per ETH will be awarded to the staker. An equal amount will be matched for all existing stakers, adding it on top of the 25 million ETHFI that will be distributed to all eligible Season 3 participants! **A minimum of 1 million ETHFI will be added to existing stakers at the end of Season 3.** No further action is required for existing stakers to receive the additional rewards. The Season 3 rewards allocation will increase proportionally to that of new deposits.
2. **Forfeited tokens–their loss, your gain:** Any Diamond Campaign participants who fully unstake their ETH before the end of the campaign will forfeit their ETHFI. Partial withdrawals will not result in forfeiture but will impact the amount of ETHFI earned. The forfeited tokens will be allocated to existing stakers. &#x20;
3. **Referral program is getting an upgrade:** get 10,000 points per 0.1 ETH staked. You can now refer friends across L2 networks!
4. **DeFi boosts:** Loyalty points boosts will continue to be granted to stakers for participating across ether.fi's ecosystem of DeFi partners, refer to the Portfolio page for up to date boosts

6. [Loyalty points will continue to accrue at the same rate as they did in Season 2.](https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/getting-started/loyalty-points) To make it easier see points between seasons, users will be able to view their Season 3 points vs all loyalty points within the Portfolio tab, under their loyalty points breakdown. Total loyalty points will continue to display as a sum of all points earned across seasons
7. All eETH and weETH, whether held or in DeFi positions, including Liquid, will be treated the same for Season 3 loyalty points

## **Conditions**

* Participants may be ineligible for the following reasons:&#x20;
  * Users with less than 150,000 loyalty points
  * Withdrawing 95% or more of your Ether.fi position. For example, if you had 1 ETH staked and withdrew 0.94 ETH (94%), you'd still qualify. However, withdrawing 0.95 ETH or more would disqualify you.
  * Users who would have gotten less than 3 ETHFI
  * Users with no active eETH/weETH balance in their wallet or no active weETH balance in partner protocols at date of snapshot
  * Users who exited within 5 days of the end of Season 3 (excluding Pendle maturity)&#x20;
  * Users with wallets that are part of a known sanctioned list&#x20;
  * Users who have actively been caught as sybils or attempting to manipulate the protocol or events to game the system
  * Users who are linked to on-chain scams such as pinkdrainer&#x20;
  * Users who were part of the Early Adopters Program (EAP), but still did not transition out of the EAP
  * Users who got nearly all of their points from badges, as opposed to staking
  * **Any attempt to exploit loopholes or manipulate the rules to game the system will result in disqualification of any Season 3 rewards, all your points on all accounts will be removed.**

## **FAQ**

* What is considered eligible "staking" for the Diamond Campaign?
  * Staking ETH or stETH through the ether.fi app on Ethereum mainnet
  * Staking ETH through the ether.fi app on any of the L2 networks options available there
  * Depositing WETH (not weETH or eETH) into a Liquid vault.&#x20;
  * **Note**: New staked ETH that is then used as eETH or weETH can then be deposited into a Liquid vault or DeFi integrated protocols and still be counted towards the Diamond Campaign
* What happened to Perks Passport?
  * We heard from our community that they were too complicated and not rewarding enough for our members. This has now been removed and replaced with the Diamond Campaign. There will still be two boosts applied - Season 1 and Season 2 participant badges. Thanks everyone for your feedback!
* Do loyalty points still play a part in Season 3?
  * Yes! Your loyalty points will continue to be one of the core ways your protocol activity will be measured, just like they were in Season 1 and 2
* Do I still get boosts on my loyalty points?
  * Yes! See our DeFi partners list for specific loyalty points boosts <https://app.ether.fi/defi>&#x20;
* If users only stake on Ether.fan, are they still eligible for Season 3?
  * Yes, as long as they do so through Season 3
* I’m in a few DeFi protocols that aren’t currently being tracked, are the points for those going to be granted retroactively?
  * Yes, so long as they are on the Portfolio page in "Retro"&#x20;
* I have a lot of points from Season 1 and Season 2. Will they be counted in Season 3?
  * Stakers from Season 1 and Season 2 will receive a boost on their Season 3 points. Historical points will be maintained in your portfolio, only points earned in Season 3 will count for Season 3.&#x20;

# Season 2


# S2: StakeRank

<figure><img src="/files/7xp1QqBBTL0rLM2wdQTr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## TL;DR <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

* Season 2 has already begun, running from March 15 until June 30
* StakeRank begins March 25, 2024
* StakeRank gives users a boosted loyalty points reward for staking longer with ether.fi
* 5% of total ETHFI token supply will be allocated to Season 2

## Rules <a href="#key-benefits" id="key-benefits"></a>

1. StakeRank is a level system with 8 levels or "Ranks"
2. Users advance 1 rank level every 100 hours of staking their ETH with ether.fi
3. Each rank level has a progressively higher loyalty points rate boost
4. Your staking balance needs to be above 0.1 eETH to continue to advance ranks
5. Users who participated in Season 1 start off at Rank II&#x20;
   * Rank boosts will range from 1x - 2x (subject to change)
6. Ether.Fan NFT holders are automatically levelled up to Rank III
   * This applies only once per NFT holder
7. In transitioning to Season 2, the protocol aims to recognize Season 1 participants without disproportionately allocating Season 2's airdrop to them. To achieve this, there will be an increase everyone's loyalty points accumulation rate by 10x. While this dilutes old points, they will still count, subject to conditions below.
8. All eETH and weETH, whether held or in DeFi positions, including Liquid, will be treated the same for StakeRank.

## **Conditions**

* Users who withdrew their ETH or mostly withdrew their ETH, their Season 1 points won’t earn them a Season 2 airdrop unless they stake additional ETH during Season 2
* Participants will also be ineligible for the following:
  * Users with less than 150k points from staking activity (Points from badges do not qualify as staking activity)
  * Users who exited within 5 days of the end of season 2 (excluding Pendle)&#x20;
  * Users with wallets that are part of a known sanctioned list&#x20;
  * Users who have actively been caught as sybils or attempting to manipulate the protocol or events to game the system
  * Users who are linked to on-chain scams such as pinkdrainer&#x20;
  * Users who were part of the Early Adopters Program (EAP), but still did not transition out of the EAP
  * Users with no active eETH/weETH balance in their wallet or no active weETH balance in partner protocols at date of snapshot

## **FAQ**

* What about Pendle YT?
  * This will work exactly as it did during Season 1. Your StakeRank will also apply if you hold a YT position in Pendle.
* What will happen for Pendle pools which will mature on 25th April? People will not own any YT-eETH because the value will come to 0.&#x20;
  * As soon as you have < 0.1 eETH / weETH in any DeFi protocol position, your rank will reset
* Why the 10x points rate increase?
  * To provide some advantages to season 1 stakers, which is why all season 1 participants are starting at rank 2 and starting with a balance of points.
    * However, the protocol does not want to discourage new stakers or season 1 stakers to continue staking and is therefore increasing the rate of loyalty points to dilute existing point balances.
* I’m in a few DeFi protocols that aren’t currently being tracked, are the points for those going to be granted retroactively?
  * Yes
* Can my combined positions (e.g., weETH + eETH) equal 0.1 eETH to eligible for StakeRank?&#x20;
  * Yes.
* What’s happening with badges?
  * There will be a whole new set of badges for season 2!
* When did Season 2 start? When did StakeRank start?
  * StakeRank starts March 25, 2024, but loyalty points 10x starting March 15
* If users only stake on Ether.fan, are they still eligible for Season 2?
  * Yes, as long as they do so through Season 2.
* Why are all ether.fan NFT tiers treated the same for StakeRank?
  * At this time, all ether.fan NFT holders have the option to claim Platinum tier. For the purpose of this event, however, we do not feel the need to force them to upgrade. We believe this is the easiest, most gas-sensitive way to honour NFT holders. Note: for all other non-StakeRank-related purposes, membership tiers continue to work the same as before–no changes made.
* If user has 2 or more NFTs, will they get an additional Rank or will they just stop at Rank III for NFT?
  * They’ll receive just the one rank boost, not one per NFT.
* I have a considerable amount of loyalty points from Season 1. I don't intend to withdraw any of my eETH. If in June, the current amount of loyalty points still represents more than 70% of my points, will I be left out?
  * If by the end of Season 2, your total points meant that 70% of them came from what you accumulated in S1, you would not be eligible. However, the base rate of loyalty points will increase by 10x in S2. Staking in S2 should mean that your new points balance should greatly outweigh the number collected in S1.  That’s a long way of of saying that Season 1 stakers were recognized in Season 1. Season 2 will recognize stakers that are active in Season 2.

StakeRank rules and conditions are subject to change.&#x20;


# S2: StakingFrens


# Omni Frens (Apr 22-26)

From April 22 to April 26 2024

Introducing StakingFrens with Omni!&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/R30fpzYLii7gCjQIX1Dv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Earn ETHFI plus $400k USD worth of OMNI rewards!**

Stake ETH while StakingFrens is on and earn ETHFI from April 22 through Apr 26, 2024. Some conditions apply.&#x20;

## How it works

1. Stake ETH in ether.fi during the event. The more you stake, the more ETHFI + OMNI you earn.\
   Earn 1 ETHFI for every 1 ETH staked, per day, from April 22 until Apr 26, 2024
2. Automatically accumulate ETHFI rewards while you stake!\
   You'll see this displayed in your Portfolio, along with a "StakingFrens" badge confirming your participation in the event. This may take 30-60 minutes to display for some users. \
   \
   ![](/files/PQ4B0NhZIxScNmsPdZbU)![](/files/8S4AJhro3DPXGYyHYJiM)<br>
3. At the end of the event, your ETHFI rewards plus allocation of the $400K USD worth of OMNI tokens will be automatically airdropped to you within 7-10 days. No need to claim, no need to spend on gas.
4. **Existing stakers, we see you 👀**\
   For every ETHFI token earned during the StakingFrens event, ether.fi will match that amount to top up Season 2’s airdrop allocation for **all** S2 participants. \
   For example, if the total ETHFI awarded to people who staked during the event was 10,000, ether.fi would add 10,000 ETHFI tokens to the already planned 5% Season 2 airdrop allocation.

Stay tuned for more frens to come throughout Season 2!

## Conditions

* ETHFI and Omni rewards are limited to the 100,000 ETH staked during the event
* Omni rewards are limited to 16,508 OMNI tokens. $400K USD based on market value as of April 18, 2024

# Season 1


# S1: The Final Countdown

*March 16 update: This program has ended as of March 15th, 12:01 AM UTC. Due to the overwhelming amount of support and deposits received for the final countdown, the total allocation has increased to 11%.*&#x20;

### How it works

The base allocation for our ether.fi community allocation 8%. \
We’d love to see if we can do better than that.  &#x20;

**For every 50k eETH staked over the next 2 weeks, we’ll top-up our community allocation by 0.25% up to 2% for a total allocation of up to 10%!**

* 50% of that top up will be distributed to all existing eETH stakers as part of an upcoming event.&#x20;
* The other 50% will be distributed to everyone who stakes eETH between now and 12am UTC Friday March 15. For these participants, a "Final Countdown" badge will be unlocked (refreshes every 24 hours) to confirm they'll be a part of that distribution.&#x20;
* Note: Season 1 is 4% and will be topped up to 6% based on deposits this week. The remaining allocation will be given out during the following seasons.
* In total approximately 40% of ether.fi’s token supply will be distributed to the community in the form for community allocation, grants, and emissions. You are still early.

The countdown is on!


# S1: Mega Week

It's time for Mega Week! Running from 31 Jan, to 10 Feb!

The best part about MegaWeek: THE POINTS. Not only will loyalty points be boosted, but we have 3 million extra EigenLayer points for everyone!

![](/files/3OHOBw65Xpnt1xiZiOJ2)

For the first 20,000 ETH staked during Mega Week you get 100 bonus EigenLayer points or the proportionate amount. There's a limited supply to stake now!

For every current holder of eETH or weETH, we are distributing an extra 1 million EigenLayer points during this MegaWeek as a thank you to all the current loyal members.

The badges we've introduced for Mega Week will be special variable badges, since they will hold EigenLayer points and loyalty points, unlike current badges that only hold loyalty points!

Badge 1: **Mega Legacy**

![](/files/L6D40n3suJpOoYyYLdBt)

Mega Legacy is for all current depositors and holders of eETH/weETH whether it's in a wallet or a DeFi integration somewhere, a total of 1 million points will be distributed amongst all the current holders every hour for the whole of MegaWeek. You will see the number tick up on the badge every hour! Additionally, current holders also earn an additional 2x boost on loyalty points, regardless if it's in a DeFi strategy or just simple eETH, and yes, your boosted points will be double boosted!

Badge &#x32;**: Mega Minter**

![](/files/aya8o20zTsjXmhyiw2qV)

Mega Minter is for all new deposits and will be distributed at the end of the week to both new and old accounts proportionally to net new amount of ETH deposited. Moving eETH/weETH around and causing your balance to dip will disqualify you from earning any bonus, if warranted, all points on an account will be removed if found trying to game the system, you do not want to be the holder of the "Sad Pepe" badge:

![](/files/P8O9K4VbpTECo8bI11Ye)

**Here is a recap:**

From 31 Jan, 18:00 UTC, till 10 Feb, 18:00 UTC, 1 million EigenLayer points will be distributed as part of the "Mega Legacy" badge, additionally for any new deposit, 2 million EigenLayer points will be distributed via the "Mega Minter" badge, 100 EigenLayer points per 1 ETH staked or the proportional amount, the first 20k ETH staked during this period will receive the bonus.

Swapping or withdrawing eETH/weETH to game the system will result in disqualification for this promotion and all your points on all accounts will be lost.

All MegaLegacy badges holders will also receive a 2x loyalty bonus on top of their normal or boosted points generation.

Now finally, you might also ask, where do these points come from ? Simple, our treasury, but why keep the boring points all to ourselves if supporters of eETH can enjoy them more!

# Staking

Liquid Restaking Tokens


# eETH

## Overview

eETH is ether.fi’s flagship Ethereum-backed liquid restaking token for native staking and multichain bridging, designed to simplify yield optimization and expand DeFi utility.

eETH is backed by staked and natively restaked ETH (via EigenLayer) to deliver dual exposure to staking and restaking economics.

## Key Benefits

In a conventional [Liquid ReStaking](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/eigenlayer/restaking-guides/restaking-user-guide/liquid-restaking/) strategy, the users lock their Liquid Staking Tokens such as `stETH` into the EigenLayer's Liquid ReStaking Strategy contracts. The cons are that the restaked assets are non-transferrable, non-usable in DeFi, and require 14 days withdrawal period for redemption back into the LSTs. Note that you will need additional delays to redeem ETH from your LSTs, again.&#x20;

However, ether.fi's `eETH` and `weETH` are **Natively ReStaked** tokens at a protocol-level enabling broad DeFi composability and removing such long 14 days of un-restaking withdrawal delays.

By holding eETH/weETH, holders accrue:

* **Base Ethereum staking rewards** – reflected via protocol staking yields (rebasing in eETH; wrapped for weETH)
* **Restaking emissions** – aggregated weekly, converted to ETH, and automatically deposited into the LST liquidity pool, increasing token value via **rebasing** without requiring any claims or additional action

Users can use eETH/weETH across DeFi for additional yield strategies or other activities.

ETH redemptions from eETH/weETH can be processed without EigenLayer unstaking delays, as long as Ether.fi has sufficient liquidity; if liquidity is temporarily constrained, withdrawal timing may vary.

For more details, visit [here](/etherfi/ether.fi-whitepaper)&#x20;


# eUSD

## Overview

eUSD is our flagship synthetic dollar liquid restaking token. Created to service the growing demands of alternate collateral within restaking, eUSD simplifies yield optimization and expands utility.&#x20;

eUSD is backed by USDe, through a partnership with Ethena, to bring a dual yielding (Ethena’s tokenized basis trade + restaking) USD-denominated product to market. Restaking will be conducted through Eigen Layer. Users are able to deposit USDe, USDC, DAI and USDT.

## Key Benefits

1. Yield from Ethena’s tokenized basis trade + restaking yield&#x20;
2. Don’t worry about restaking caps or delegations&#x20;
3. Access multiple point programs: 1x EigenLayer, 20x Ethena, 3x ether.fi and 3x Veda ​Check out eUSD on ether.fi

## Bitcoin LRT FAQS

**On which networks is eBTC available?**

* eBTC is available on Ethereum mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, and Corn. The contract addresses remain the same across all supported networks.

**Are deposits in the vault capped?**&#x20;

* No caps on launch of the vault. The vault activity and total deposits will be monitored, and will introduce caps if required for a healthy balance of Symbiotic points across deposits.

**Does this also have a 72 hour withdrawal period like other vaults?**

* No, it is a 7-day withdrawal period. While most withdrawals will complete well before this maximum window, this is an additional safety mechanism added by Veda.

**Is there any benefit to depositing a certain token over another?**

* No. All deposits are treated the same.

**What are Veda points, who is Veda?**

* Veda is the first Native Yield Layer and the protocol powering Liquid and the BTC LRT. You can learn more about Veda on X <https://x.com/veda_labs>&#x20;

**Where can I see my Veda points earned?**

**How is eBTC different from other Liquid LP tokens?**

* You will be able to use eBTC in DeFi for all the things you know and love. More big news on this coming soon.

**Any yields earned on this vault other than points?**

* You will earn the composite staking rate of all yield bearing assets in the vault.

**How does this give me more points, or even the same amount of points vs depositing directly into Symbiotic and other restaking partners?**

* Symbiotic only accepts deposits until the deposit cap for a given asset is reached. Those deposits are the only ones that earn Symbiotic points until deposit caps are raised again. This is true for all deposit methods.
* Users that deposit on Symbiotic directly only earn Symbiotic points.
* Users that deposit into eBTC Bitcoin LRT earn Symbiotic points, ether.fi points and Veda points and more.

**How much karak points do I earn?**

* WBTC or LBTC assets deposited in the eBTC vault staked specifically in Karak, earn an enhanced 2x point multiplier:
  * May 12 - Oct 8, 2024: 46,000 base points × 2 = 92,000 points per token per day
  * Oct 8 - Oct 24, 2024: 49,900 base points × 2 = 99,800 points per token per day
  * Oct 24 - Nov 8, 2024: 53,800 base points × 2 = 107,600 points per token per day
  * After Nov 8, 2024: 60,800 base points × 2 = 121,600 points per token per day
* Important: Only the portion of your eBTC assets that the vault has allocated to Karak earn these enhanced rates. eBTC assets allocated to other restaking platforms do not receive karak points.&#x20;


# weETHs (Super Symbiotic)

## Overview

weETHs, the Super Symbiotic LRT, is intended to provide ether.fi customers an easy onboarding into the Symbiotic ecosystem. Unlike other LRTs, users have numerous deposit options including WETH, eETH, weETH, wstETH, cbETH, bETH, rETH, mETH, swETH, etc. These assets will be directly restaked on Symbiotic each time the deposit caps are raised.

## Key Benefits

1. Earn staking yield
2. Don’t worry about tracking when Symbiotic deposit caps will be lifted
3. Access multiple points programs: Symbiotic points, ether.fi points and Veda points

​[Check weETHs on ether.fi](https://app.ether.fi/liquid/symbiotic)

## Allocations

A portion of weETHs deposits may be allocated to third-party protocols to seek additional rewards for depositors. Each allocation introduces its own risk profile, which may include smart contract, liquidity and counterparty risk. Below is a summary of current allocations.

**Cap Protocol – M11 Credit / FalconX**

A portion of weETHs collateral is allocated to [Cap Protocol](https://docs.cap.app/), where M11 Credit acts as a borrower. M11 Credit deposits the borrowed funds into the Pareto vault, which supplies capital to FalconX to be utilized in their Prime Brokerage. This allocation generates a sustainable yield sourced from FalconX's lending activity.

**How the delegation works:**

Symbiotic → Cap Protocol → M11 Credit (borrower) → Pareto Vault → FalconX

**Delegation Risks**

By holding weETHs, you are exposed to the following risks associated with this delegation. Please review carefully before depositing.

* **Slashing Risk:** If the loan collateral reaches an excessively high loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, delegated funds may be partially or fully slashed. This would result in a loss of principal for weETHs holders.
* **Counterparty Risk (FalconX):** Funds ultimately flow to FalconX. If FalconX mishandles, misappropriates, or is otherwise unable to return the borrowed capital, depositors may suffer a loss.
* **Counterparty Risk (M11 Credit):** M11 Credit acts as the intermediary borrower. Any failure by M11 Credit to meet its obligations under the Cap Protocol framework could impact the return of funds.
* **Protocol Risk (Cap Protocol / Pareto):** Smart contract bugs, exploits, or operational failures in Cap Protocol or the Pareto vault could result in loss of delegated funds.
* **Liquidity Risk:** Delegated capital may not be immediately available for withdrawal. Redemption timelines depend on the underlying loan terms and protocol mechanics.

> **Important:** This delegation means weETHs is no longer solely exposed to Symbiotic restaking risk. By depositing, you acknowledge exposure to the full delegation chain described above. Past performance of any counterparty does not guarantee future results.

## Super Symbitoic FAQS

**Are deposits in the vault capped?**&#x20;

* No caps on launch of the vault. We’ll monitor the vault activity and total deposits, and will introduce caps if required for a healthy balance of Symbiotic points across deposits.

**Does this also have a 72 hour withdrawal period like other vaults?**

* No, it is a 7-day withdrawal period. While most withdrawals will complete well before this maximum window, this is an additional safety mechanism added by Veda.

**Is there any benefit to depositing a certain token over another?**

* No. All deposits are treated the same.

**What are Veda points, who is Veda?**

* Veda is the first Native Yield Layer and the protocol powering Liquid and the Super Symbiotic LRT. You can learn more about Veda on X <https://x.com/veda_labs>&#x20;

**Where can I see my Veda points earned?**

* The Veda points dashboard is under development but is expected to be available in a few weeks. You can learn more about Veda on X <https://x.com/veda_labs>

**Where can I see my Symbiotic points earned?**

* On the ether.fi App (coming soon)

**Who audited the vault?**

* The vault was audited by Macro and Spearbit\
  <https://github.com/Se7en-Seas/boring-vault/tree/main/audit>

**How is weETHs different from other Liquid LP tokens?**

* You will be able to use weETHs in DeFi for all the things you know and love. More big news on this coming soon.

**Any yields earned on this vault other than points?**

* You will earn the composite staking rate of all yield bearing assets in the vault.

**Do I still earn my \~3% APY like I get for holding eETH?**

* You earn the composite staking rate of all yield bearing assets in the vault.&#x20;

**How does this give me more points, or even the same amount of points vs depositing directly into Symbiotic?**

* Symbiotic only accepts deposits until the deposit cap for a given asset is reached. Those deposits are the only ones that earn Symbiotic points until deposit caps are raised again. This is true for all deposit methods.
* Users that deposit on Symbiotic directly only earn Symbiotic points.
* Users that deposit into Super Symbiotic earn Symbiotic points, ether.fi points and Veda points.

**Do I still earn staking rewards like I do with eETH?**

* You earn the composite staking rate of all yield bearing assets in the vault.&#x20;

**What is a delegation, and does it affect my risk?**

* A delegation routes a portion of vault assets to Symbiotic Networks to generate yield. This means weETHs holders bear additional risks beyond Symbiotic restaking, including slashing, counterparty default, and smart contract risk across the delegation chain. See the Delegations section above for full details.

# Liquid

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

Liquid vaults are automated DeFi strategies that provide ether.fi customers a simple access point to use their tokens in the DeFi ecosystem. Users simply deposit their tokens, and behind the scenes the vault allocates across a variety of DeFi positions.

As DeFi integrations grow in number, it can become challenging for someone to keep up with the best opportunities. Additionally, some opportunities like LPing on Uniswap V3 require specific expertise to maximize performance (selecting tick ranges, etc.).&#x20;

These vaults removes those challenges by handling the complexity of DeFi automatically. To do that well, new integrations are added over time, strategies are adjusted and assets in these vaults rebalanced as part of that process. This ensures that the vaults remain competitive in the rapidly evolving DeFi market and will add additional protocols that the vaults can allocate to over time.


# ETH Yield Vault

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

Liquid ETH Yield Vault is an automated DeFi strategy vault that provides ether.fi customers a simple access point to use their eETH in the DeFi ecosystem. Users simply deposit eETH, weETH, or WETH and behind the scenes the vault allocates across a variety of DeFi positions.<br>

## Key benefits <a href="#key-benefits" id="key-benefits"></a>

1. Earn rewards on autopilot with your eETH, weETH, or wETH
2. Access simple diversification: ether.fi integrated DeFi protocols, all in one place

# Upgrade of ETH Yield Vault

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

The ether.fi Liquid ETH vault is upgrading to Veda’s latest smart contract design, the same used for Liquid USD.\
\
**No action required for existing Liquid ETH vault depositors.**

The upgrade gives the following improvements:

* Ability to operate on L2s
* Easier and quicker integrations with DeFi Protocols to maximize rewards
* Enhanced security features

To ensure a smooth experience, the upgrade will be done in two phases.\
\
**Phase 1: Starting Wednesday, June 12**

The existing Liquid ETH vault will gradually transfer its DeFi positions into the new Liquid ETH vault. This will take 7-14 days.

* No user action is required
* Users will continue to earn yields as normal
* The new vault contract address is 0xf0bb20865277aBd641a307eCe5Ee04E79073416C
* Vault contract audit: <https://github.com/Se7en-Seas/boring-vault/tree/main/audit>

**Phase 2: Following Phase 1**

* Existing depositors in the ETH vault will not need to take any action if they wish to simply maintain their position in the vault
* Old ETH vault depositors that wish to deposit more or partially withdraw from the vault will need to migrate to the new vault and will be prompted to do so at the time they take one of those actions. Full withdrawals do not require migration
* All new deposits will go into the new vault

**Understanding the new risk monitoring**

* As part of the Liquid ETH Vault migration, the infrastructure will include a new, enhanced set of risk monitoring capabilities
* Previously, the existing vaults were protected using a series of risk monitoring alerts across the different protocols used in the yield strategies
* Moving forward, the Liquid ETH Vault will not only monitor risk signals but also include actionable triggers to exit positions programmatically based on specific risk conditions
* The risk management is based on economic risk conditions evaluated block-by-block for protocols and specific positions

# Liquid USD Vault

## Overview

The ether.fi Liquid USD vault provides a simple way for users to earn from a diversified basket of market-neutral yield opportunities, while getting exposure to the Ether.Fi ecosystem.

Users can deposit USDC, USDT, DAI, and USDe, which is then deployed to an evolving set of blue chip DeFi protocols. Initially the vault will utilize AAVE, Curve/Convex, Gearbox, and Pendle. As the vault scales, new yield sources such as Uniswap V3, Morpho Blue, Aura/Balancer may be added.

The vault is built using the Veda infrastructure. The strategy for the vault is provided by Seven Seas. &#x20;

[Check out the Liquid USD Vault on ether.fi](https://www.ether.fi/app/cash/earn/liquid/usd-yield)

## Technical Documentation

The Ether.Fi Liquid USD vault was built using the Veda architecture. At a high level, the architecture uses a Merkle verification system to enforce constraints on the vault strategies: with every rebalance, the strategist must submit a Merkle proof demonstrating that the rebalance respects certain constraints. These constraints include only interacting with certain whitelisted protocols, assets, and even contract functions.

For more details on the smart contract architecture, see <https://docs.veda.tech/><br>

The initial set of supported protocols include:

* Ethena
* AAVE
* Pendle
* Gearbox
* Convex/Curve
* Morpho Blue
* Spark<br>

Supported strategy assets include:

* USDe
* USDC
* USDT
* DAI
* sDAI
* PYUSD
* FRAX

The vault utilizes the risk monitoring system to interact with protocols Aave, Gearbox, and Convex/Curve. The contracts are listed below.<br>

# Liquid Katana ETH Vault

## Overview

Katana is a new chain designed to give DeFi users exactly what they want: **higher yields and deeper liquidity**. As an [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) user, you can now deposit **weETH** directly into Katana’s ecosystem and earn rewards from day one.

The [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) x Katana Veda vault offers users the opportunity to deposit ETH through [ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) during a strategic 14-day pre-launch period. During this preparation phase, deposited assets are staged for seamless bridging to the Katana mainnet once it becomes operational. This structured approach ensures that users can position their assets early while the infrastructure prepares for full deployment.

Upon Katana mainnet activation, deposited weETH is automatically deployed into lending strategies on Morpho, professionally managed by Sentora. Users can expect to earn a compelling combination of ETHFI, KAT, and weETH staking rewards. The vault maintains flexibility with withdrawal capabilities after going live, though deposits must be held for a minimum of 30 days post-mainnet launch to qualify for the full reward eligibility.

The vault is built on the Veda infrastructure.

[Check out the Katana ETH Vault on ether.fi](https://ether.fi/app/liquid/katana-eth)

## Key Benefits

* **250K ETHFI (Phase 1 deposits) + 10bps of Total Kat supply + Morpho Lending Yield + weETH Restaking Yield**
* Take advantage of exclusive lending strategies and yield optimization
* Earn a diversified set of DeFi yields with triple reward streams

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note regarding vault rewards:** Only deposits made during the pre-deposit phase that remain for 30 days post-mainnet launch will be awarded ETHFI and KAT rewards. ETHFI will be distributed at the end of the [Ether.fi](http://ether.fi/) Member Rewards phase shortly after the end of August, and KAT will be distributed upon token event. Depositors that withdraw before the 30 day post-mainnet period forfeit all vault rewards.

# Coverage for Liquid

ether.fi users can purchase cover from [Nexus Mutual](https://nexusmutual.io/), a decentralized insurance alternative. They have added the following Bundled Protocol Cover listings to their dApp. [See coverage details](https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/partnerships/coverage)


# Technical Documentation

How the Liquid Vaults work.

All ether.fi Liquid Vaults are built on **Veda’s Boring Architecture**.

This architecture is based on:

* **Non-upgradeable core contracts**
* **Modular components** that can be attached or replaced
* **Strict role separation**
* **Hard constraints on vault actions**

The vault token contract itself remains constant. Functionality is extended or modified by attaching external modules through a role registry. This design significantly reduces the attack surface while still allowing flexibility.

The system integrates **LayerZero**, allowing vault tokens to function across multiple blockchains. For comprehensive protocol details, refer to the official **Veda smart contract documentation**.

> \*[**Note:** The Liquid HYPE Yield Vault is powered by **Midas** and uses separate contracts - see the **Liquid HYPE Yield Vault** documentation for details specific to that vault.](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]

***

## User Flow

### Depositing

Users deposit supported assets through the **Teller** contract.

**How it works**

* Users deposit approved ERC20 tokens or the native token
* Deposits mint **BoringVault shares**, issued as an ERC20 token
* These shares represent the user’s proportional ownership of the vault

**Key rules**

* The Teller maintains an **allowlist** of supported deposit assets
* Deposits are blocked if the Teller is paused
* Users must approve the **BoringVault** (not the Teller) to spend the asset
  * Approval can be done via standard ERC20 approval
  * Or via permit signatures, if supported

**Slippage protection**

* Users can specify a **minimum number of shares** to receive
* If fewer shares would be minted, the transaction reverts

**Execution**

* Assets are transferred into the BoringVault
* Shares are minted to the user
* All happens atomically in a single transaction

### Withdrawing

Withdrawals are handled via a dedicated **Boring Queue** per vault.

**How it works**

1. User holds BoringVault shares
2. User approves the **Boring Queue** to spend those shares
3. User submits a withdrawal request

**Withdrawal request parameters**

* Output token
* Minimum output amount

The minimum output amount acts as on-chain protection against unfavorable execution.

**Timing constraints**\
Each vault defines:

* A **minimum delay** before a withdrawal becomes executable
* A **maximum fulfillment window** after which the request expires

These constraints are enforced directly by the queue contract.

**Managing requests**

* Requests can be replaced or canceled before fulfillment
* If canceled, shares are returned to the user

**Fulfillment**

* Withdrawals are fulfilled by **Veda’s solver**
* The solver must meet the user’s minimum output requirement
* Shares are consumed and the output token is delivered atomically

***

## Fees

* Vaults may charge a **platform fee** set in the **Accountant**
* Fee range: **0% to 2%**
* **No performance fees** are charged by any vault

***

## Smart Contracts & Architecture

### Core components

The BoringVault was built from the ground up to be the most secure and flexible framework for building enterprise-grade DeFi products by Veda Labs. Here are the official [docs](https://docs.veda.tech/architecture-and-flow-of-funds) by veda

### Architecture

<figure><img src="/files/PudW8eo3GORsb6tKF4aF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### **BoringVault**

The central vault contract.

* Holds user assets
* Mints and burns vault shares
* Keeps internal logic intentionally minimal
* Delegates functionality to external modules

This design improves both security and composability.

#### **Teller**

Handles all user-facing deposit actions.

Responsibilities:

* Accepts deposits
* Enforces share lock rules
* Refunds deposits when protections are triggered
* Manages cross-chain token bridging

#### **Hook (Optional)**

Executes custom logic before share transfers.

Common use cases:

* Transfer restrictions
* Share lockups
* Compliance and whitelisting logic

#### **Manager**

Executes vault strategies and rebalances.

* Uses **Merkle proofs** to verify allowed actions
* Can only execute strategies pre-approved by Admin
* Prevents unauthorized or arbitrary vault behavior

#### **Accountant**

Manages the vault exchange rate.

Responsibilities:

* Calculates share-to-asset conversion
* Enforces bounds on rate changes
* Can pause updates during abnormal conditions

#### **BoringOnChainQueue**

Handles withdrawals.

* Receives vault shares from users
* Works with the atomic solver to execute withdrawals
* Ensures timing and minimum output constraints are respected

#### **DecoderAndSanitizer**

Security layer for external protocol interactions.

* Decodes calldata
* Sanitizes parameters
* Ensures only intended operations are executed

#### **Oracle**

Tracks vault value and yield.

Built-in safeguards include:

* Maximum update frequency
* Maximum deviation thresholds

This ensures accurate and reliable reporting.

***

## Benefits to this Architecture

* The vault itself is simple and does not execute strategies or complex logic directly, reducing the attack surface.
* External modules handle deposits, accounting, strategy execution, and withdrawals, allowing upgrades or customizations without redeploying the vault.
* Managers use **Merkle proofs** to ensure only authorized, predefined strategies are executed, preventing unauthorized actions.
* Decoder and Sanitizer modules ensure interactions with external protocols are secure and only execute intended operations.

***

## Roles

#### Admin

The Admin is a multi-sig consisting of members from both the veda team and the[ ether.fi](http://ether.fi) team. This role is meant to act as a neutral party that is responsible for defining the whitelisted protocols and assets and the actions and parameter the strategist can perform. The admin is also able to make changes to the modules connected to the boring vault, ie the withdrawal queue, teller accountatn etc.&#x20;

#### Strategist

The Strategist is responsible for submitting rebalance signals to the vault. There are significant limitations to the actions that the Strategist. The strategist rebalances the vault by making manage call with a merkle proof, and the merkle root is set by admin therefore they can only rebalanced based what was whitelisted by the admin. All strategists are multisigs unless there is very limited whitelisted actions with low risk actions.

#### Pauser

Hypernative, and other trusted entities have the ability to pause the vaults as a safety and control mechanism. &#x20;

***

## Security

There are several layers of security built into the smart contracts.

1. **Constrained actions** - The vault only has the capability to interact with pre-approved protocols and assets using merkle proofs. Rebalances can only be executed using the set of protocols and add assets that are encoded in the merkle root. This places a hard constraint on what actions the vault can take and what parameters can be passed to a protocol
2. **Rebalance deviation** - On every rebalance, the vault computes the total assets before and after the rebalance and reverts the transaction if the change in value exceeds a threshold. This acts as a catch-all safety check on any vault operation.
3. **Multiple roles** - There are various roles each with the ability to only call a subset of functions on the vault. For example, the Strategist can only rebalance the vault but does not have access to other sensitive functions.&#x20;
4. **Non-upgradeable core** - The token contract is very simple there should never be upgraded even if it was possible in our case it is not possible. All modules attached the boring vault is swappable if new feature need to be added or during a security concern.&#x20;

***

# FAQs

#### **What is Liquid?**

Liquid is a new automated DeFi strategy vault, only available on ether.fi. Earn yields, loyalty points and EigenLayer points on your ether.fi assets. The very best of DeFi, all in one place.

#### **How does Liquid work?**

After depositing tokens into Liquid, you’ll receive the LP token LQIDETHFIV1, which entitles you to returns from DeFi protocols in which the strategy operates, as well as any additional[ ether.fi](http://ether.fi) rewards.

**Is there coverage for Liquid?**

ether.fi users can purchase cover from [Nexus Mutual](https://nexusmutual.io/), a decentralized insurance alternative. They have added the following Bundled Protocol Cover listings to their dApp. [See coverage details](https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/partnerships/coverage)

#### **What DeFi protocols does Liquid support?**

Currently, Liquid supports Uniswap V3, Balancer, Aave V2/V3, Morpho Blue, and Curve/Convex.

#### **Will Liquid support more/new protocols in the future?**

Liquid will support new protocols in the future, stay tuned for more information.

#### **What is a strategy provider?**

The strategy provider is an institutional investor who deploys capital at scale. They provide liquidity by fulfilling withdrawals. The strategy for this vault is provided by [Seven Seas](https://sevenseas.capital/).

#### **What sort of rewards does Liquid offer?**

On top of protocol yields, Liquid will offer either.fi loyalty points and EigenLayer points. Points earned from Liquid work the same way as points from holding eETH in any other DeFi protocol, and they will continue to play a part in Season 2 events.

#### **What fees are charged on Liquid?**

A platform fee is charged for vault management. A performance fee may be charged by the Strategy Provider of the vault. This is taken periodically (typically once per day) when the vault rebalances its position. This fee is already reflected in your balance. A small discount ranging from 1 basis point is taken from your LP at time of withdrawal. This discount is charged to compensate for the Solver gas costs of fulfilling the withdrawal.

#### **How long do withdrawals take?**

Withdrawals may take up to 3 days in the Withdrawal queue. In the future, the vault will feature an option to adjust your withdrawal period from 72 hours at a small discount rate of 1bp, to 6 hours at 15bps.

#### **Can I deposit ETHFI on Liquid?**

At this time, Liquid does not support depositing ETHFI. You may deposit eETH, weETH, or WETH.

#### **Will I continue to earn my initial points from staking eETH including the points I’ll earn on liquid?**

The points earned will be on a full TVL basis (similar to holding eETH). Additionally, your loyalty points are multiplied with a boost on Liquid ([see Liquid page ](https://app.ether.fi/liquid)for current boost level), so you’ll earn even more points than just holding regular eETH.

#### **How is Net APY calculated?**

Net APY is a sum of:

1. Estimated APY from DeFi protocols and ETH staking yield
2. Rewards APY from any additional token rewards

Estimated APY is constantly changing due to fluctuating protocol and staking yields. Because of this, the Net APY may fluctuate as well.

#### **Why did my Daily Check-In drop after I deposited into Liquid?**

We are currently updating the Daily Check-In badge to include Liquid deposits. Stay tuned for more details.

# Technical Documentation

Ether.fi has launched **ether.fi Cash**, an advanced DeFi payment solution designed for crypto users, developers, and institutional investors seeking a secure, non-custodial financial experience.

***

## 1. Secure and Non-Custodial *Vault*

Upon creating an account at ether.fi Cash, a dedicated smart contract, [***ether.fi Vault***](/etherfi/cash/vault)***,*** is automatically deployed for you. This Vault ensures **secure and non-custodial** control, meaning you remain the exclusive owner of your funds, maintaining complete autonomy.

**Diagram 1: Vault Ownership/Authentication Architecture**

<figure><img src="/files/RIJaKjxUamUrT5s5gj5t" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Security as a First-Class Citizen

Your Vault is secured by sophisticated cryptographic management through a secure enclave architecture (i.e., [Trusted Execution Environment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_execution_environment)) provided by [Turnkey](https://www.turnkey.com/). This secure enclave generates and manages your keys, significantly enhancing security compared to traditional wallets reliant on seed phrases. The keys remain encrypted and inaccessible outside this secure environment, accessible only via explicit, user-authorized cryptographic authentication.

The enclave-based security design ensures robust protection against both external threats and internal risks, providing a tamper-proof environment where even ether.fi or Turnkey cannot access your private keys, thereby reinforcing the non-custodial nature of your wallet.

### Non-Custodial by Design

The ether.fi Vault is designed to be entirely user-owned and controlled. Your encrypted keys are strictly managed within the Secure Enclave, accessible exclusively through user-authorized cryptographic authentication. It guarantees that neither ether.fi nor any third-party can ever access or control your Vault or your keys.

### Seamless DeFi Banking Experience

Ether.fi seamlessly integrates its advanced DeFi primitives, such as [Staking](/etherfi/staking) and [Liquid](/etherfi/liquid) products, to deliver a premium, frictionless DeFi banking experience. This integration ensures you have effortless access to the top-class decentralized finance products directly within your Vault.

Moreover, ether.fi enables secure direct card spending linked to your Vault, allowing users flexibility between Direct Spend Mode (immediate fund deductions) and Borrow Mode (automatic short-term borrowing). The daily and monthly spending limits are user-configurable, providing an additional layer of security to protect against unauthorized or excessive transactions.

***

## 2. Effortless Cross-chain via Universal Address

Ether.fi provides a effortless cross-chain deposit service with universal addressing exploiting deterministic address deployment. Users can deposit the supported assets to their vault at any supported EVM chain from any address (e.g., personal wallet, or crypto exchange).

**Diagram 2: Cross-Chain Operation via Universal Address**

<figure><img src="/files/ASudMflwybMd7gZKbkiZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Universal Vault Address

Through advanced deterministic deployment (using Create3), each user is assigned a universally consistent address across all EVM-compatible blockchains. The address is used for the dedicated Vault contract on Scroll (the core chain) and for the deposit address on other (supported) chains. That is, users can deposit to their vault at any supported EVM chain from any address (e.g., personal wallet, or crypto exchange).

The unique address is assigned to each user can be extended for chain-agnostic smart wallet system in future!

### Near-Instant, Automated, and Transparent Bridging

Funds sent to your unique address on any supported blockchain are swiftly and transparently bridged to your dedicated Vault on the core chain. This process leverages automated & secured smart contract interactions ensuring a superior user experience without cumbersome manual steps.

### Handling Unsupported Assets

Currently, only assets explicitly supported within the ether.fi ecosystem can be deposited securely. Depositing unsupported assets may result in funds becoming inaccessible. Proper handling, including withdrawal support for these assets, will be introduced in a future upgrade.

### Supported blockchains

Core chains

* Scroll
* Optimism (from Apr 2026)

Top-up chains&#x20;

* Ethereum
* Base
* Arbitrum
* HyperEVM

***

## 3. Modular Design for Security

ether.fi’s Vault contract adopts modular design, delivering both security and flexibility for DeFi banking experiences. This modular architecture enables managed, secure operations through distinct, independently managed modules.

### Modular Contract Framework

At its core, the Vault contract serves strictly as a robust multisig authorization and module management hub. Direct interactions with the Vault are securely restricted, ensuring all functionalities are executed exclusively via thoroughly vetted modules.

### Module Governance

Modules are individually whitelisted and vetted by ether.fi, designed as non-upgradeable to ensure predictable and stable operations. Each module—such as token management, lending integrations (e.g., Aave), or borrowing—is optimized to perform clearly defined roles, ensuring clean separation of concerns and operational security. The Vault owner needs to approve individual modules to allow the interactions.

### Advanced Hook System for Security

Operational hooks reinforce system health, providing additional security layers. These hooks rigorously validate critical metrics, including debt positions, ensuring robust, continuous integrity monitoring and risk mitigation.

### Role-Based Access Control

Clear role separation between Owners and Admins provide precise control and secure management. Highly sensitive actions, including administrative changes or fund withdrawals, are tightly restricted to Owner-level authorization, adding a vital layer of governance and security.

# Account upgrade

As a planned extension of ether.fi Cash, the core chain for Cash is updating in Apr 2026

## Universal cross-chain addresses

Ether.fi has, since the launch of ether.fi Cash, provided a cross-chain deposit service utilising universal addresses. Within this architecture, each user is assigned a universally consistent address across multiple EVM-compatible blockchains ('top-up' chains). One of these addresses is designated the 'core' chain, and any supported assets deposited on any of the supported top-up chains are transparently bridged to the core chain. Refer to our [technical documentation](https://etherfi.gitbook.io/etherfi/cash/technical-documentation#id-2.-effortless-cross-chain-via-universal-address) for more information.

The core chain is the network that holds user assets after bridging, and is the network on which all card payments are settled, and on which swaps and other actions take place.

## Account upgrade process

The account upgrade process leverages the existing cross-chain address architecture. For each existing user safe on the current core chain, a safe is deployed on the new core chain (Optimism), and a migrate function is called. This results in the cross-chain deposit service treating the previous core chain as a top-up chain.

### Addition of a new core chain

The upgrade process is driven by the addition of a new core chain, and switching the existing core chain to be a supported top-up chain. Throughout the upgrade, all assets exist on the universal safe address, or in the bridges used.

<figure><img src="/files/x12gyeBMKSvP86MOKIk6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The following existing bridges are used, and live on-chain tracking is available for all:

* Layer zero
* Stargate
* Canonical L2 bridges

The end result is that all assets arrive on the new core chain, and all current functionality and custody behave exactly the same.

## Full multi-chain vault support

This upgrade, which allows switching of core chains, sets the groundwork for enabling a fully non-custodial chain-agnostic vault system where users can arbitrarily bridge assets between multiple core networks to enable native DeFi integrations. An example of this would be a HyperLiquid trading integration where user assets can exist across 2 networks concurrently and be used for card spending or trading within the same non-custodial architecture.

Multi-chain vault support will be a future upgrade.


# Vault

## Non-Custodial

When you sign up as an [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) Member, a Turnkey signer is automatically created for your account. This Turnkey signer serves as the owner of your Vault and can only be accessed by you — never by [ether.fi](http://ether.fi) nor TurnKey.

We work with [Turnkey](https://www.turnkey.com/) to provide secure, non-custodial key management. It removes the need to rely on phishable seed phrases, employ familiar authentication methods, and are more deeply embedded into our application for a seamless user experience. Signing onchain transactions with your in-app wallets requires explicit, cryptographic authentication using your {passkey, email address, or social login}.

Turnkey uses AWS Nitro secure enclaves, a type of tamper-proof Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), for all sensitive operations. Private keys are never decrypted outside these enclaves, and only you can authorize key usage with your credentials. It has also implemented stringent protocols to prevent individual engineers from altering enclave code, ensuring a secure end-to-end deployment process.&#x20;

For more details, see Turnkey’s security documentation [here](https://docs.turnkey.com/security/our-approach).

## Security Architecture

#### Multisig Protection

ether.fi's Vault implements a multisignature (multisig) security model:

* Your Vault could have multiple owners, each with their own unique signature
* You've established a signature threshold—the minimum number of required owner signatures to authorize any transaction
* For example, if your Vault has 3 owners with a threshold of 2, any transaction on the Vault requires approval from at least 2 of these 3 owners
* The owners could also authorize some users as admins to the Vault who could carry out certain operations on their own.
* Each owner is by default an admin

#### Managing Your Vault's Ownership Structure

As a Vault owner, you can:

* Add new owners to your Vault
* Remove existing owners from your Vault
* Adjust your signature threshold to increase or decrease security requirements
* View the current ownership structure and signature requirements

Any changes to your Vault's ownership or threshold settings require transaction approval according to your current threshold requirements.

## Modularity

Your Vault can connect with modules—specialized smart contracts that extend your Vault's functionality while maintaining its security.

#### Your Module Options

Your Vault comes with several pre-configured modules:

1. **Default Modules** (automatically available):
   * **EtherFi Cash Module**: Core neo-bank functionalities
   * **EtherFi Stake Module**: Participate in EtherFi Stake and let your funds work for you
   * **EtherFi Liquid Module**: Put your funds to autopilot using EtherFi Liquid vaults
   * **OpenOcean Swap Module**: Integration for token swapping
2. **Additional Whitelisted Modules**:
   * Additional modules reviewed and whitelisted by EtherFi
   * You must explicitly authorize these modules with owners threshold signature before they can interact with your Vault

#### Module Security Protocols

To protect your assets:

* EtherFi maintains a strict module whitelisting process
* Only modules that have passed security reviews can be added to the whitelist
* You maintain full control over which whitelisted modules can interact with your Vault
* Only EtherFi can designate default modules that are available to all users

#### Configuring Your Vault's Modules

To add a whitelisted module to your Vault:

1. Confirm the module appears on EtherFi's official whitelist
2. Initiate a module authorization transaction
3. Collect the required number of owner signatures according to your threshold
4. Once authorized, the module can interact with your Vault according to its defined permissions

## Recovery

Your Vault includes a sophisticated recovery system that balances security with practical recovery options.

#### Your Default Recovery Configuration

Your Vault is initially configured with:

* Two designated recovery signers:
  1. An EtherFi corporate signer
  2. A trusted third-party signer selected by EtherFi
* A recovery threshold requiring approval from both signers

#### Customizing Your Recovery Settings

As a Vault owner, you have complete control over your recovery system:

* **Replace Recovery Signers**: Designate your own trusted contacts as recovery signers
* **Adjust Recovery Threshold**: Set how many recovery signatures are required to initiate recovery
* **Expand Your Recovery Network**: Add additional recovery signers for enhanced security
* **Disable Recovery**: You can disable the recovery feature entirely if you prefer

All recovery setting changes require approval according to your Vault's current owner threshold.

#### The Recovery Process Timeline

If you need to recover your Vault:

1. Your designated recovery signers must approve the recovery action according to your recovery threshold
2. Upon approval, a mandatory 3-day timelock period begins
3. During this timelock period, any of your Vault's original owners can cancel the recovery process
4. If the recovery isn't cancelled, the new ownership configuration takes effect after the timelock expires

#### The Importance of Your Timelock Period

The 3-day timelock provides critical protection:

* Gives you time to respond if unauthorized recovery is attempted
* Allows cancellation of mistaken or malicious recovery attempts
* Provides necessary notice to all stakeholders before ownership changes

#### Managing or Disabling Recovery

While recovery provides important security benefits, you may modify or disable it:

1. Initiate a transaction to update recovery settings or disable the feature
2. Gather the required signatures from Vault owners according to your threshold
3. If you disable recovery, consider implementing alternative backup access methods

# ETHFI

## **About ETHFI**

**ETHFI** is the governance token that drives the ether.fi protocol, enabling the DAO community members to manage critical aspects of the protocol and direct the growth strategy of weETH, eETH and the protocol's future growth.

As a portion of protocol and re-staking rewards are directed toward the DAO treasury, the ETHFI token now plays a vital role in controlling and governing this treasury, and the future of the protocol at large.

$ETHFI token holders will be able to propose and approve:

* Major protocol upgrades
* Changes to key economic parameters, such as fees designated to the protocol
* Software development contributor permissions
* Whitelisting of node operators that run ETH nodes on behalf of the protocol
* Where and how ETH is restaked within the Actively Validated Services (AVS) ecosystem which utilizes the EigenLayer protocol
* Treasury diversification activities


# ETHFI Staking

## Staking ETHFI&#x20;

ETHFI stakers earn ether.fi loyalty points, Karak points and more to come!

### **Here's how it works:**

1. Go to the ETHFI tab in the ether.fi dapp here:  <https://app.ether.fi/ethfi>
2. Choose the amount of ETHFI you would like to stake
3. Stake your ETHFI
4. The ETHFI vault will automatically re-stake ETHFI on [Karak](https://karak.network/) to earn 2x Karak points. You will also earn ether.fi points. In the future, the vault will add additional strategies to earn more rewards on your ETHFI
5. Earn points and future rewards automatically!

### **FAQs:**

* **Can I participate in DAO voting with staked ETHFI?**\
  Yes! You can vote on ether.fi DAO proposals through [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/etherfi-dao.eth)
* **Can I delegate my staked ETHFI for them to vote on my behalf?**\
  Yes. Please note that if you have previously delegated using Agora ([vote.ether.fi](https://vote.ether.fi/delegates)), staking your ETHFI will undelegate from Agora and re-delegate via the ETHFi staking contract.  In future, you will be able to see all Delegates and re-delegate through the ETHFI tab.
* **How many points do I earn?**\
  Staked ETHFI loyalty points are earned at the relative base rate of loyalty points earned on weETH. The ratio of points is based on the relative price of ETHFI to weETH at launch of the staking contract. This earning amount will be updated monthly when required to reflect the 30 day trailing price of ETHFI, relative to the 30 day trailing price to weETH.\
  \
  **Calculation:**\
  Based on the relative price of ETHFI to weETH on July 16th, it was determined that 1 weETH =  \~1750 ETHFI. Given the base rate of 1 weETH receives 10,000 loyalty points / day, the amount of Loyalty points / ETHFI / day is set at 5.7.  \
  \
  1 weETH = 10,000 Loyalty points / day\
  1 ETHFI = 5.7 Loyalty points / day\
  \
  As an example, if a user was to stake $1,000 worth of weETH and $1,000 worth of ETHFI, that user would be earning 2x ether.fi loyalty points / day compared to the base rate of just holding weETH. \
  \
  Since the governance proposal, it has been determined that at times, ether.fi has to rely on partner endpoints that can result in short term point issues/deviations. These issues stem from endpoints going down, syncing issues with the database, etc. As a result, the most simplistic and elegant approach was to base ETHFI loyalty point earnings on the amount of ETHFI staked. Under this approach, there is also no minimum ETHFI stake amount required.&#x20;
* **Can I withdraw my staked ETHFI?**\
  Members can request to withdraw their ETHFI at any time. Withdrawals are queued and typically take up to 10 days to fulfill.
* **Which points do I earn by staking Ethfi?**\
  Currently, users who stake ETHFI on mainnet can earn Karak points and Symbiotic points alongside Etherfi points. Users on Arbitrum are currently earning Karak points alongside Ether.fi points.  As Symbiotic becomes available on Arbitrum and Base, ETHFI stakers on those networks will earn Symbiotic points as well.
* **How much karak points do I earn?**\
  The staked ETHfi vault restakes some of the ETHfi to Karak, which earns at the following rate:

  * Jul 5 - Jul 19, 2024: 0.96 base points × 1 = 0.96 points per token per day
  * Jul 19 - Aug 4, 2024: 0.96 base points × 2 = 1.92 points per token per day
  * Aug 4 - Sep 3, 2024: 0.96 base points × 1 = 0.96 points per token per day
  * Sep 3 - Oct 8, 2024: 0.98 base points × 1 = 0.98 points per token per day
  * Oct 8 - Oct 24, 2024: 1.17 base points × 1 = 1.17 points per token per day
  * Oct 24 - Nov 8, 2024: 1.23 base points × 1 = 1.23 points per token per day
  * After Nov 8, 2024: 1.27 base points × 1 = 1.27 points per token per day

  \*Important: Only the portion of your sETHfi assets that the vault has allocated to Karak earn these rates. sETHfi assets allocated to other restaking platforms do not receive Karak points.

## **About ETHFI**

**ETHFI** is the governance token that drives the ether.fi protocol, enabling the DAO community members to manage critical aspects of the protocol and direct the growth strategy of weETH, eETH and the protocol's future growth.

As a portion of protocol and re-staking rewards are directed toward the DAO treasury, the ETHFI token now plays a vital role in controlling and governing this treasury, and the future of the protocol at large.

$ETHFI token holders will be able to propose and approve:

* Major protocol upgrades
* Changes to key economic parameters, such as fees designated to the protocol
* Software development contributor permissions
* Whitelisting of node operators that run ETH nodes on behalf of the protocol
* Where and how ETH is restaked within the Actively Validated Services (AVS) ecosystem which utilizes the EigenLayer protocol
* Treasury diversification activities

# King Protocol (Historical Reference)

## Current Reward Mechanism

Starting **January 2026**, ether.fi has fully transitioned to the **new EIGEN → ETH rebasing flow**:

* Weekly EIGEN rewards are **automatically converted to ETH** and deposited into the LST liquidity pool.
* Rewards are reflected in **rebasing of eETH/weETH**.
* No claims, KING tokens, or unwrapping are required—users simply hold their tokens and balances grow automatically.

## How ether.fi previously used King Protocol (Historical Reference)

* eETH/weETH holders earned restaking rewards in the form of KING tokens.
* Rewards were distributed weekly on a linear basis.
* Users could unwrap KING into underlying assets (e.g., EIGEN and ETHFI) at equivalent dollar value.
* Additional ETHFI rewards were occasionally added to the pool to supplement distributions.

> This is **historical reference only**. Users no longer accrue KING tokens.

## **About** King Protocol

King Protocol was designed to simplify restaking reward distribution by tokenizing rewards earned when restaking.

Previously:

* Rewards from multiple restaking protocols could be pooled into a single vault.
* Vault shares (KING tokens) were issued to stakers, representing a proportional claim on the underlying rewards.
* This system reduced transaction costs and simplified rewards management, especially for small stakers.
* Larger stakeholders could redeem and arbitrage, influencing the market price of KING.

> ⚠️ **Important:** KING tokens are no longer used for rewards. The protocol has transitioned to a **direct ETH + rebasing model**, as described below.

You can read historical King Protocol documentation here: <https://docs.kingprotocol.org>&#x20;

{% embed url="<https://docs.kingprotocol.org/distribution.html>" %}


# KING Points (Deprecated)

**Status:** KING points are no longer earned or used.

Previously, KING points were rewards distributed for engaging with the King protocol ecosystem, including:

* Holding ether.fi assets such as **eETH** and **weETH**
* Holding **KING tokens**

Points were earned at a rate of **1 KING point per ETH per hour**, adjusted for asset value.\
Example: staking 1 eETH for 10 days would have accrued \~240 KING points.

**Purpose:** KING points were used by the King protocol for potential future reward calculations.

> ⚠️ Users no longer earn KING points. They are fully deprecated and are kept here for reference only.


# KING Rewards (Historical Reference)

> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT UPDATE:**\
> **Starting January 27, 2025, the protocol no longer distributes rewards via KING.**\
> Weekly EIGEN rewards are now **automatically converted to ETH** and deposited into the LST liquidity pool.\
> Rewards are reflected directly in **rebasing of eETH/weETH**—no claims, KING tokens, or unwrapping are required.\
> The content below is kept for **historical reference only**.

## **EIGEN Programmatic Incentives** (Historical)

EigenLayer previously had a programmatic incentives program designed for AVS "reward-boosts," where EIGEN was automatically distributed to stakers and operators of each AVS proportionate to the rewards distributed by each AVS.

* For the first year, at least 4% of total EIGEN supply was distributed through this program:
  * 3% to ETH and LST stakers and operators (weighted equally)
  * 1% to EIGEN stakers and operators

Example allocation:

| Allocation       | EIGEN Amount     |
| ---------------- | ---------------- |
| 90% to stakers   | 45,675,105 EIGEN |
| 10% to operators | 5,075,011 EIGEN  |

* ether.fi liquidity pool reserves  some ETH un-deployed to service withdrawals
* \*ether.fi Restaked ETH that has not yet been allocated to an EigenLayer AVS - See "ETH Not-Restaked" column above. This amount will be reduced over the subsequent periods.&#x20;
* fluctuations in ETH TVL restaked in EigenLayer

Note that while the rewards ratios are accurate in the aggregate over time, for any user, the distribution amount on a specific week may vary by +/-5% based on their specific positions. We are working to reduce this variance.

## ether.fi's ETHFI top-up

In addition to the distributions via EigenLayer's programmatic incentives, we perform additionals via ETHFI top-up. This top-up program does not have the pre-determined schedules. The purposes are to boost KING usage, correct the errors in prior distributions and subsidize the ether.fi's restaking rewards during the period when the ether.fi has low capital efficiency.

Note that the top-up distribution may happen retro-actively; ether.fi tracks the stakers balance history in the past and rewards accordingly.

### King Protocol **Claiming Merkle Contract**

The King Protocol claims contract reflects the full allocation of rewards to each staker on a weekly cadence. If there are any allocation discrepancies detected in KING rewards distributed, future allocations are corrected by reducing or increasing a staker's KING rewards over time.

As a part of operations for gas optimization, ether.fi will claim and fund the Merkle Claims Contract as needed. All the EIGEN is available for claiming through King Protocol. ether.fi continues to monitor the remaining KING in the contract to ensure sufficient rewards are available for claiming at all times.

Merkle Claims Contract: <https://etherscan.io/address/0x6Db24Ee656843E3fE03eb8762a54D86186bA6B64>

### Understanding Rewards Distribution via King Protocol & Unwrapping (Historical)

Previously, stakers received **KING tokens** representing the dollar value of EIGEN + ETHFI holdings. Unwrapping converted KING shares into the underlying assets.

Example (Historical):

* (1) Initially,
  * Suppose that the King Protocol vault has 10 shares in total and it holds 10 EIGEN and 10 ETHFI.
  * Assume each EIGEN = $1, each ETHFI = $1, so the vault is worth $20 in total.
  * Therefore, 1 KING share = $20 ÷ 10 = $2.
  * Unwrapping 1 share gives 1 EIGEN + 1 ETHFI, worth $2 total.
* (2) New Deposit with earned EIGEN,
  * Suppose ether.fi deposits 10 EIGEN (worth $10) into the vault.
  * Since each share is worth $2, the vault mints 5 new shares for this $10 deposit.
  * The vault now has a total of 15 shares (10 old + 5 new) and holds 20 EIGEN + 10 ETHFI = $30.
  * The share price remains $30 ÷ 15 = $2.
* (3) Unwrapping After Deposit
  * If you unwrap 1 LRT2 share at this stage, you receive a proportional amount of the assets:
    * EIGEN: 20 EIGEN ÷ 15 shares = \~1.33 EIGEN
    * ETHFI: 10 ETHFI ÷ 15 shares = \~0.67 ETHFI
  * Combined, those tokens are still worth $2 in total.

## Fees

As per the [EigenLayer documentation](https://docs.eigenlayer.xyz/developers/rewards#overview), operators will earn a flat 10% commission on rewards, with the remaining 90% going to stakers. The table above reflects the full allocation that is distributed to stakers. **ether.fi does not take any fee cut from stakers**.

# Solo Stakers


# Operation Solo Staker

Decentralizing Ethereum one node at a time!

Welcome to the documentation for Ether.fi's Operation Solo Staker, it's great to have you here 🥳&#x20;

## What is Operation Solo Staker?

So you want to be part of the journey to decentralize Ethereum? This is the place to start!

Right now there are \~5,500 nodes running Ethereum, and about half are based in the US. Of these, over half are in a single data center in Virginia, 20 minutes away from the white house and the CIA headquarters. This is not a truly decentralized system. Ethereum needs Solo Operators!

<table><thead><tr><th width="399">Ether.fi</th><th>You</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Provides the ETH, software and </p><p>technical support.</p></td><td>Provide the hardware and internet connection. <strong>No bond requirement needed thanks to DVT.</strong> </td></tr></tbody></table>

## So how does it work?

* Ether.fi has ETH that has been deposited by stakers.
* That ETH is then staked by Ether.fi to create Ethereum validators.
* For each 32 ETH deposited, one validator key is generated.
* These validator keys need to be given to node operators to perform validator duties such as proposing blocks and attesting (voting) to say that they are happy with the chain, etc.
* But if all those validator keys are given to a small number of existing node operators... it's not a truly decentralized system!
* That's where Operation Solo Staker comes in 💡
* Using DVT (more on that later) that single validator key can be split up and shared between multiple home stakers. This reduces operational risks and increases decentralization.

Or to put it simply...

Ether.fi provides the ETH, software and technical support to get solo stakers online. All you need is the hardware to run a validator and an internet connection. Once your machine is online, it will support and validate the Ethereum network, and you will earn rewards!

## How can I get involved?&#x20;

## 👉


# Solo Staker Onboarding

#### To become a solo staker for [ether.fi](http://ether.fi), follow the steps below.

1. Submit your [application](https://www.ether.fi/solo-staker). Operation solo staker is path 2.&#x20;
2. Our team will then review your application and reach out once you have been accepted.

The operators receive 5% of the validator rewards in the solostaker program.\
There are on average 10-15 validators per operator.

#### What if I am unable to purchase the machine outright?&#x20;

Hardware can be expensive. Our mission is to ensure everyone who has a passion to secure the network can participate. If you're unable to purchase the hardware required, please state this in your application. As part of operation solo staker, we have enabled stakers in remote parts of the world to acquire a machine through long term payment plans funded by staking rewards.

**If accepted into the program - Testnet**

1. If you’re accepted into the program, you will receive an email to sign up to our solo staker portal. Please do so and fill out the information required. Note this email may come through your spam folder.
2. Setup your machine (Dappnode, Avado, custom)
3. Install and sync testnet - We will let you know which testnet is used for the cluster
4. When the testnet chain is synced, change your status to “waiting for Goerli keyshare”. This will trigger an alert for the team to provide you with a keyshare from the testnet cluster.
5. [Ether.fi](http://Ether.fi) will reach out and provide you with the keys
6. Continue to validate on testnet for two weeks. This is required to ensure that your internet connection is stable, and that the staking setup is properly configured.
7. As soon as the cluster has performed near-perfect for one week and made some proposals, it will be ready for mainnet.

<figure><img src="/files/4sKngF3aM3XtRwK2Qqos" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Mainnet**

1. Once you have successfully completed the two week testnet phase, please leave all information in the portal as is, and repeat for mainnet.
2. We will then provide you with mainnet keys and you will be up and running! 🚀
3. The cluster starts with one validator per participant, as soon as attestation and proposal performance on mainnet is flawless it is upgraded to 10 per peer.

# Obol DVT Explained

## Ok, so what is DVT...?

Distributed Validator Technology. In a traditional solo staking setup, if a single validator node goes offline due to technical issues or maintenance, it immediately stops performing its validator duties (attestations, block proposals, etc.).

This can lead to missed rewards and penalties for the staker. However, with DVT, a group of stakers works together as a single unit. If one of the stakers within the group experiences downtime, the remaining stakers continue to perform the validator duties collectively.

This ensures that the staking process remains uninterrupted, maintaining network stability and allowing the group to continue earning rewards while minimizing the risks associated with individual node failures.

With a standard solo validator, without DVT, the setup looks like this:

<figure><img src="/files/vZ4VWXlKUmwAElrMVZGD" alt=""><figcaption><p>Standard Solo Validator without DVT</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
**What are the parts of an Ethereum Validator Node?**

**EC** = Execution Client (e.g. Geth, Besu, etc.)

**BN** = Beacon Node (e.g. Lighthouse, Teku, etc.)

**VC** = Validator Client (e.g. Lighthouse, Teku, etc.)
{% endhint %}

As you can see, a standard solo validator holds the entire validator signing key. This is the key that is used to perform validator duties such as proposing blocks and attesting (voting).

DVT is a technology that allows a single key to be split into multiple parts, called <mark style="color:green;">**keyshares**</mark>, and through some cryptographic magic, those <mark style="color:green;">**keyshares**</mark> can be used to perform validator duties when combined!

## How does Obol DVT work?

[Obol](https://obol.tech/) is a company that has been building a DVT solution using their <mark style="color:green;">**Charon**</mark> (pronounced Karon) client. This is a piece of software that sits in between your Beacon Node and Validator Client.

<mark style="color:green;">**Charon**</mark> is also the software that will be used by Ether.fi to split the validator key into <mark style="color:green;">**keyshares**</mark>.

<figure><img src="/files/HCByixdWOOSciBqd6wDQ" alt=""><figcaption><p>Charon splitting an existing validator key into multiple keyshares</p></figcaption></figure>

Once those <mark style="color:green;">**keyshares**</mark> have been generated, they will be distributed to each of the solo stakers, who are collectively called a <mark style="color:green;">**cluster**</mark>.

<figure><img src="/files/8ZMq0QNdlXOJ0WmeVexU" alt=""><figcaption><p>An Obol DVT Cluster with 4 keyshares</p></figcaption></figure>

Each solo staker in the <mark style="color:green;">**cluster**</mark> is given one <mark style="color:green;">**keyshare**</mark>. The cluster will be configured with a 3/4 <mark style="color:green;">**threshold**</mark> which means that if at least 3 of the 4 operators are online, the <mark style="color:green;">**cluster**</mark> will be able to perform its validator duties.

The important points you need to be aware of are:

* Ether.fi will be generating the validator key and <mark style="color:green;">**keyshares**</mark>, so don't worry, you don't need to know the details about how that works (unless you'd like to learn more from the [Obol docs](https://docs.obol.tech/docs/int/quickstart/quickstart-split)).
* You will be given one <mark style="color:green;">**keyshare**</mark> that you will upload to your staking machine.

How do you upload the <mark style="color:green;">**keyshare**</mark> to your staking machine? Just follow the instructions for your specific machine:
