Chorus One is pleased to provide this opportunity for our customers staking ETH and this guide below will cover step by step how to take part in the process so you can maximize your ETH staking rewards with this new innovation from StakeWise while understanding the risks and mechanics behind Boosted ETH staking.
📈 Higher Staking Rewards: Achieve up to 3x the usual ETH staking APY.
🔒 Risk Mitigation: No liquidations from osETH price fluctuations; built-in de-risking mechanisms adjust positions as needed.
💰 No Performance Fees: Unlike some competitors, StakeWise Boost doesn’t charge fees on your earnings.
Looped staking allows users to reinvest their staked ETH (ETH that is already earning rewards) to generate additional staking yield.
This mechanism takes advantage of lending protocols and allows for recursive staking.
All of this happens behind the scenes via StakeWise, but feel free to learn more below.
No Performance Fees: 100% of staking rewards go to you.
No Liquidation from osETH Fluctuations: Aave uses a stable native rate feed.
Increased Staking Yield – By restaking borrowed ETH, users effectively amplify their exposure to staking rewards.
More Efficient Capital Usage – Instead of holding staked ETH passively, users can leverage it to generate additional rewards.
Higher APY – Compared to simple staking, looped staking can increase the effective staking APY, depending on how many times the process is repeated.
There are quite a few wallets to choose from. You can connect directly with Ledger, or use MetaMask, OKX, WalletConnect among others.
It should be noted that if you are using Rabby Wallet, you may see a warning like the screenshot below.
Rest assured this is expected behavior.
Shown below, this address (0x57...)
is created during the transaction for all boosting with Aave operations.
This is individual for each user and once the transaction is sent it deploys a contract there.
This warning appears because when a user sends an approval and this address is empty Rabby wallet perceives it as an EOA.
If you are using MetaMask or connecting directly with Ledger or another wallet, it is unlikely you will see this warning.
Once your wallet is connected, you should see your address appear in the upper-right hand corner of the page. You can then proceed to preview your boosted staking options.
If you don't have any osETH, please refer to Staking to OPUS Pool to learn how to mint osETH using OPUS Pool.
Or you can stake ETH via the StakeWise interface as shown below.
You can click on the vault of your choosing, in this example, the Chorus One MEV Max vault to see more details.
From there you will see a detailed view of the vault you're staking with.
Once everything looks good, go ahead and submit the transaction and approve it in your wallet.
Note: The first time you Boost, you’ll need to approve osETH spending.
Once it completes, you can review the transaction on-chain and will be shown how much osETH you boosted!
Once your deposit is confirmed, Boost will automatically start generating enhanced staking rewards!
You can also view more statistics overtime by clicking on the 'Statistics' button highlighted above.
You also have the option to export your historic staking history from the vault via the 'Export' button.
If Boost APY becomes negative for more than 7 days, consider unboosting your position.
To unboost your ETH, simply click on the two criss-crossing arrows in the upper-left hand corner to switch to unstaking mode and navigate to the 'Boost' tab.
Select the osETH amount you want to withdraw and confirm.
This queues your unboost request which can take up to approximately 10 days to process.
Please note that unstaking your ETH from a vault will also undergo a withdrawal period up to a maximum of approximately 10 days.
