The protocol

Three moves. One fluid position.

Aether abstracts validator operations into a single liquid token. Stake once, keep exposure to network rewards, and stay free to move — your staked capital is never idle.

01 — DEPOSIT

Stake your assets

Deposit ETH, stETH, or supported L2 assets. Aether distributes across a vetted, decentralized validator set and starts earning rewards from the first block.

MINTS · aETH liquid staking token
02 — RECEIVE

Hold a rebasing token

Your aETH balance compounds automatically as validators earn. No claiming, no manual restaking — the exchange rate to ETH rises every epoch while you hold.

RATE · 1 aETH = 1.0642 ETH ↑
03 — DEPLOY

Use it across DeFi

Supply aETH as collateral, provide liquidity, or loop for leveraged yield across integrated lending markets and DEXs — all while it keeps accruing staking rewards.

One token, endlessly composable — staking yield that travels with your capital.

Every Aether liquid staking token is a fully-backed, redeemable claim on the underlying stake plus accrued rewards. Redeem 1:1 at the live exchange rate through the withdrawal queue, or trade instantly on deep secondary liquidity.

Security & audits

Engineered to be trustless.

Aether contracts are immutable, non-custodial, and independently audited. No admin can move user funds, and validator slashing is covered by an on-chain insurance module.

Keys and stake stay yours — the protocol can never seize funds.
Immutable core
No upgradable proxy on the staking vault. Code is law.
Slashing cover
$60M insurance module backstops validator penalties.
Live monitoring
