{project} — Liquid Staking for Ethereum & Gnosis Chain
{project} is a permissionless, non-custodial liquid staking protocol that lets anyone stake ETH or GNO, earn daily rewards, and maintain full liquidity — without giving up custody of their assets. Operating since 2021 and trusted by over 100,000 stakers worldwide.
{project} is a decentralized, permissionless, and non-custodial liquid staking protocol operating on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain. It enables users to stake any amount of ETH or GNO — from a fraction of a token to thousands — and receive liquid staking tokens (osETH or osGNO) in return that accumulate staking rewards automatically over time.
Unlike traditional custodial staking services, {project} never takes control of your assets. Your staked ETH remains accessible and always tied to your wallet. The protocol gives you three distinct ways to participate: one-click staking for simplicity, choosing from a marketplace of Vaults operated by vetted node operators, or creating your own Vault with fully customizable fees and configurations.
{project} also powers white-label staking infrastructure used by major industry players including MetaMask, Chorus One, Blockchain.com, and Ledger Live — making it one of the most widely deployed staking backends in the Ethereum ecosystem.
At the heart of the {project} protocol are osTokens — Overcollateralized Staked Tokens that represent your staked position. When you stake ETH on {project}, you receive osETH; when you stake GNO, you receive osGNO.
{project} Boost is a unique yield amplification feature that lets you earn significantly more than the base staking APY — at no extra fee from {project}. Here is how it works:
Your osETH is deposited as collateral on Aave. {project} then borrows ETH against this collateral, stakes that ETH again on your behalf, mints more osETH, and repeats the cycle multiple times. The result is a leveraged staking position that earns the difference between the extra staking yield and the Aave borrowing cost.
Aave uses {project}'s native exchange rate feed rather than DEX prices, which means osETH depegs on secondary markets cannot trigger liquidations. Since staking yields historically exceed borrowing costs on approximately 90% of days, your loan-to-value ratio typically decreases over time — making your position progressively safer. If your LTV ever reaches 94.5%, your position is automatically unwound and all funds are returned to your wallet.
{project} has been operating continuously since 2021 and has invested approximately $1 million in professional security audits. The protocol's smart contracts have been reviewed by multiple independent security firms, and findings have been remediated and publicly disclosed.
Because {project} is non-custodial, your staked assets never leave your control. There is no centralized party that can seize, freeze, or misappropriate your ETH or GNO. Validator keys are distributed across independent node operators, eliminating single points of failure.
All protocol code is open-source, allowing anyone to review, fork, or build upon the {project} infrastructure. Governance proposals and protocol parameters are managed transparently on-chain.
