Step-by-Step Guide to Staking ETH with Stader and Everstake
This guide will explore how to utilize Stader Labs with Everstake to maximize your staking rewards.
Step 1. Start staking
Go to the official Stader website, and click Stake now.
Step 2. Choose ETH
Choose ETH from available networks, and click Stake now once again.
Step 3. Connect your wallet
Click Connect wallet in the upper right corner of the page, accept terms of service and connect your preferred wallet from the list of available options.
Approve the connection in your wallet.
Step 4. Choose the amount
Enter the amount of ETH you would like to stake.
Liquid staking allows one to stake small amounts of ETH without having to generate verification keys. But for solo staking, the minimum deposit is 32 ETH, which is required to run a validator node on the Ethereum network.
With ETHx, the entry threshold with ETHx is $1.
Check Gas Fees.
In some instances, $10 worth of gas is needed to make a $1 transaction. Be aware of Ethereum’s gas fees before initiating transactions. High gas fees can significantly reduce your net returns from staking.
Check the amount of ETHx you will receive and click Stake ETH
Step 5. Confirm the transaction
Confirm the transaction in your wallet and wait for it to be processed. Once your transaction is confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain, your ETHx balance will appear in the Stader app.
Conclusion
With Stader’s secure and user-friendly platform, you can easily stake any amount of ETH while maintaining liquidity through their ETHx liquid staking token. This offers flexibility, enabling you to receive rewards while accessing various DeFi opportunities.
