This technical guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on how to stake with ether.fi, the leading platform for ether.fi liquid restaking, to mint the eETH token.
Step 1: Understanding Liquid Restaking
Standard liquid staking gives you a token representing staked ETH. Liquid restaking goes a step further. Your staked ETH is used to secure other protocols (AVSs) via EigenLayer, earning you additional rewards. ether.fi is a protocol that makes this process seamless and non-custodial.
Step 2: Connecting and Staking
Navigate to the ether.fi Official platform.
Connect your Ethereum wallet.
Enter the amount of ETH you wish to stake.
The interface will show the amount of eETH you will receive.
Click "Stake" and approve the transaction.
Step 3: What Happens Under the Hood
When you stake, ether.fi delegates your ETH to its network of independent, vetted validators. This is a crucial part of the ether.fi non-custodial staking promise—you maintain control of your keys. The protocol then natively restakes this ETH on EigenLayer, making you eligible for future rewards. Your staked position immediately starts earning ether.fi loyalty points and ether.fi EigenLayer points.
