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.

COMPOSES · +2.1% avg DeFi layer
Supported assets

Stake blue-chips. Earn liquid.

Rates are variable, sourced on-chain from validator performance and net of the 10% protocol fee. Displayed figures update per epoch.
