Staking Ethereum
How to stake any amount of ETH
Overview
In three simple steps you can stake any amount of ETH, mint osETH as a liquid staking token and deposit your osETH into Eigenlayer or Symbiotic.
Our Stakewise vault allows you to mint osETH, which is a liquid staking token (LST). The issued liquid staking token is overcollateralized, meaning the underlying assets in the vault are worth more than the osETH issued.
You will be able to deposit your Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) via OPUS Pool and participate in the restaking ecosystem. As more EigenLayer AVSs go live, you will be able to delegate LSTs to Chorus One and receive rewards from your restaked tokens.

How to stake with OPUS Pool
First, access OPUS Pool at: https://opus.chorus.one/pool/stake/
Currently, there are three ways in which you can use OPUS Pool.
Stake any amount of ETH via OPUS Pool
Mint osETH from your staked ETH to be used in other DeFi protocols or for restaking
Restake your osETH or other supported LSTs to EigenLayer or Symbiotic
The first methods involves staking and optionally minting your osETH through OPUS Pool and depositing it directly into EigenLayer or Symbiotic, while the second method enables you to skip minting osETH and directly deposit any accept liquid staking tokens directly into supported restaking protocols on OPUS Pool. Both methods are made as simple as possible to enhance your staking experience, and can be completed in just three steps as described below.
Stake ETH, Mint osETH, Deposit Supported LRTs, and Restake on OPUS Pool
Step 1: Connect your wallet on the OPUS Pool page and choose a vault.
First you'll need to connect your wallet to OPUS Pool by clicking on the 'Connect Wallet' button in the upper right hand corner. There are a few options to choose from.
You can connect directly with your Ledger with the Ethereum app open, use WalletConnect, or MetaMask as another way to seamlessly interface with the app using a Ledger device.
For instructions on getting started with MetaMask, please see: Getting Started: MetaMask
Once you've connected your wallet you can choose the Chorus One MEV Max vault or the Chorus One Obol DV vault. (Screenshot example shown below).
Chorus One’s ground-breaking MEV research ensures the highest yields with top-tier security and enterprise-level infrastructure. We use our in house program, Adagio, to maximize MEV yields for our stakers.
If you'd like to take a deep dive, Chorus One's pioneering MEV research led to the design of Adagio an in-house, optimized Ethereum MEV-boost client that increases our MEV rewards by optimizing the way we interact with the transaction supply chain.
In a recent pilot with Adagio were able to generate 4.75% additional MEV rewards.
Step 2: Select how much ETH you wish to stake, enter the amount, and click 'Confirm and Stake'
At this point, you're now staking your ETH!
However, if you want to restake your supported LSTs in EigenLayer or Symbiotic, read on!
Step 3 (Optional): Mint osETH and deposit it or other LSTs into Restaking Protocols
Note: Minting osETH is completely optional
However, doing so allows you to have an overcollateralized representation of your staked ETH to participate in restaking protocols like EigenLayer, Symbiotic, or use it in other DeFi protocols such as Boosted ETH Staking.
Once deposited successfully, you can now mint your osETH in 1-click by clicking 'Mint osETH' as shown in the screenshot above.
How to Restake your osETH or other supported Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs)
You can bring your supported liquid staking tokens minted on any external platform and deposit them into EigenLayer through OPUS Pool
Step 1: Go to the OPUS Pool page, select Restake and connect your wallet
Step 2: Select either EigenLayer or Symbiotic, (shown above) and then select your LRT (i.e. osETH) that you'd like to stake.
Note: At this time, only EigenLayer supports osETH restaking.
Step 3: Deposit your LSTs into EigenLayer or Symbiotic.
That's it, you're all done!
You can navigate to the Dashboard on the sidebar at any time to review your staked balances.
