Ethereum staking has matured, but many solutions still force users to choose between earning rewards and keeping flexibility. StakeWise offers a modern answer: liquid staking that preserves control, unlocks DeFi utility, and keeps rewards flowing. This article breaks down how StakeWise works, which networks and tokens it supports, and why it’s a practical option for anyone looking to stake smarter—without complexity or long lockups.
StakeWise is a decentralized liquid staking protocol that lets users stake assets while receiving liquid tokens representing their position and rewards. Instead of locking ETH and waiting, users receive a yield-bearing token that can be held, traded, or used across DeFi.
The core promise is simple: earn staking rewards and keep your capital usable.
StakeWise is built primarily on the Ethereum network, leveraging its security, validator diversity, and mature DeFi ecosystem. In addition, StakeWise supports EVM-compatible networks such as Gnosis Chain, extending liquid staking to more assets while maintaining the same principles of transparency and flexibility.
This multi-network approach broadens access and allows users to choose where their capital works best.
