Stake

Stake assets for rewards

Stake supported assets to earn yield & participate in rewards across multiple chains. Convert ETH to liquid staking tokens or stake protocol tokens.

Overview

Torque's staking system supports multiple assets including ETH, WETH, AAVE, GHO, ENA, USDe, HYPE, & more. Stake your assets to earn yield & participate in protocol rewards across multiple chains.

Multiple Assets

Stake ETH, WETH, AAVE, GHO, ENA, USDe, HYPE, & more.

Staking Tokens

Receive staked tokens that earn rewards over time.

Yield & Rewards

Earn yield & participate in rewards across chains.

Supported Chains

Staking is available on the following networks:

Ethereum Mainnet - Primary staking network
Base - Layer 2 staking support
Arbitrum - Layer 2 staking support

Staking positions are chain-specific. You can stake on multiple chains independently.

How Staking Works

Staking Flow

Select the asset you want to stake (ETH, WETH, AAVE, etc.)
Approve token spending for the staking contract
Enter the amount you want to stake
Confirm the staking transaction
Receive staked representation tokens (e.g., wstETH, stETH, stkAAVE)
Start earning rewards automatically

Unstaking Flow

Select the staked token you want to unstake
Enter the amount you want to unstake
Confirm the unstaking transaction
Wait for the unstaking period (if applicable)
Receive your original tokens back

Supported Assets

Staking pairs available on supported chains:

ETH/WETH → wstETH, stETH, rETH, rsETH, ezETH, weETH, cbETH
AAVE → stkAAVE
GHO → stkGHO
ENA → sENA
USDe → sUSDe
HYPE/WHYPE → stHYPE, wstHYPE, kHYPE, vkHYPE
Conversion rates vary by asset & protocol

API Usage

Get Staking Routes

staking.ts

import { getEnsoRoute } from '@/lib/enso'

// Get staking route for ETH to wstETH
const route = await getEnsoRoute({
  fromToken: '0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE', // ETH
  toToken: '0x7f39C581F595B53c5cb19bD0b3f8dA6c935E2Ca0', // wstETH
  amount: '1000000000000000000', // 1 ETH
  fromAddress: userAddress,
  chainId: 1,
  slippage: 50,
})

console.log('Expected output:', route.amountOut)
console.log('Price impact:', route.priceImpact)

Execute Staking

stake.ts

import { executeEnsoRoute } from '@/lib/enso'

// Execute staking transaction via Enso
const receipt = await executeEnsoRoute({
  route,
  wallet,
})

console.log('Staking transaction:', receipt.transactionHash)
console.log('Received staked tokens')

Get Staking Pairs

pairs.ts

import { getStakingPairs } from '@/lib/staking'

// Get available staking pairs for a chain
const pairs = await getStakingPairs(chainId)

// Pairs include: ETH→wstETH, ETH→stETH, AAVE→stkAAVE, etc.
pairs.forEach(pair => {
  console.log(`${pair.input.symbol} → ${pair.output.symbol}`)
})

Rewards & Benefits

Yield Generation

Staking assets generates yield through various mechanisms:

Protocol rewards accrue to your staked position
Yield rates vary by asset & protocol
Rewards compound automatically over time
Some assets offer additional protocol benefits

Asset-Specific Benefits

Different staking assets provide unique benefits:

ETH staking: Earn staking rewards from validators
Protocol tokens: Governance rights & fee distributions
Liquid staking: Maintain liquidity while earning yield
Benefits vary by asset & underlying protocol

Flexibility

Staking through Torque provides flexibility to stake multiple assets, switch between different staking options, & unstake when needed. All staking routes are optimized through Enso for best execution.

Supported Chains

Staking is available on multiple networks with different asset support:

Ethereum Mainnet - Full asset support including ETH, AAVE, GHO, ENA, USDe, HYPE
Base - ETH & select protocol tokens
Arbitrum - ETH & select protocol tokens
Polygon - Select assets
Optimism - Select assets

Note: Available staking pairs vary by chain. Check the interface for current availability.

Best Practices

Start with a small amount to familiarize yourself with the staking process
Monitor your staking position regularly for rewards & updates
Consider unstaking period requirements before unstaking large amounts
Keep track of your stTORQ balance across different chains
Claim fee distribution rewards regularly to maximize returns
Participate in governance to help shape the protocol's future
Verify contract addresses before any transactions

Troubleshooting

Transaction Fails

Ensure you have sufficient TORQ balance
Check that you've approved the staking contract
Verify you have enough gas (ETH) for the transaction
Confirm you're on the correct network

Balance Not Updating

Wait for transaction confirmation (may take a few minutes)
Refresh your wallet or reconnect
Check the block explorer for transaction status

Rewards Not Showing

Rewards are distributed periodically, not continuously
Check the Fee Distributor contract for claimable rewards
Ensure you meet minimum staking requirements
