StakeWise is a liquid staking protocol on Ethereum and Gnosis Chain that lets users stake any amount of ETH or GNO across a marketplace of independent validator vaults and receive osETH/osGNO — an over-collateralised liquid receipt token.
Choose an independent operator vault, stake ETH, then mint osETH (over-collateralised) up to 90% LTV. Each vault carries its own APY, fee, and validator track record.
Click a vault to select. Different operators — different APY and fee.
Over-collateralised receipt token. Each vault must hold excess ETH before osETH can be minted, protecting holders from per-vault slashing.
osETH is non-rebasing. It accrues staking rewards via a rising exchange rate (1 osETH > 1 ETH over time).
Pick your operator: Institutional, community, or permissionless. Each vault publishes its own fee and validator history.

Liquid staking is dominated by a few monolithic pools (Lido, Coinbase) that concentrate validator selection in a single curated set and force every staker to accept the same operator risk.
StakeWise V3 splits staking into a marketplace of independently-operated Vaults while keeping a single fungible liquid token (osETH) that is over-collateralised against the deposit — so users pick their operator but DeFi composability stays uniform.
Over-collateralised osETH minting protects users from per-vault slashing; permissionless vault creation; deep integrations with MetaMask Pool, Ledger Live, and Blockchain.com staking flows.
