How to Perform Staking on Bitget Wallet?

Staking is a crucial concept in Web3 and involves locking up your cryptocurrency assets to support network operations, contributing to transaction validation and security. In return, participants earn rewards, fostering a symbiotic relationship between network health and investor interests. Staking rewards can be fixed or percentage-based, varying across blockchain networks, and replaces energy-intensive mining with a more sustainable Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus model.

FAQ

1. What is Lido?

Lido is the name of a family of open-source peer-to-system software tools deployed and functioning on the Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon blockchain networks. The software enables users to mint transferable utility tokens, which receive rewards linked to the related validation activities of writing data to the blockchain, while the tokens can be used in other on-chain activities.

2. How does Lido work?

While each network works differently, generally, the Lido protocols batch user tokens to stake with validators and route the staking packages to network staking contracts. Users mint amounts of stTokens which correspond to the amount of tokens sent as stake and they receive staking rewards. When they unstake, they burn the stToken to initiate the network-specific withdrawal process to withdraw the balance of stake and rewards.

3. What is stETH?

stETH is a transferable rebasing utility token representing a share of the total ETH staked through the protocol, which consists of user deposits and staking rewards. Because stETH rebases daily, it communicates the position of the share daily.

4. How can I get stETH?

You can get stETH in many ways, including interacting with the smart contract directly.Yet, it is much easier to use a Lido Ethereum staking widget and in other DEX Lido integrations.

5. How can I unstake stETH?

You can use our Withdrawals Request and Claim tabs to unstake stETH and receive ETH at a 1:1 ratio. Under normal circumstances, withdrawal period can take anywhere between 1-5 days. After that, you can claim your ETH using the Claim tab. Also, you can exchange stETH on DEX Lido integrations.
