Staking Agent
The Staking Agent helps you earn rewards by locking (staking) your crypto whether it’s to secure a blockchain network or earn yield through DeFi. You don’t have to know the technical details just tell the agent what you want to stake, and it handles the rest.
What Does “Staking” Mean?
There are two main types of staking the agent can help with:
Network Staking Locking coins like ETH or ADA to help run a blockchain (e.g., Ethereum 2.0). You earn protocol rewards in return.
DeFi Staking or Yield Farming Locking tokens into DeFi reward pools like PancakeSwap (CAKE) or Uniswap LP farms to earn yield. Often involves staking LP tokens or project tokens for bonus rewards.
How It Works
Let’s say you say:
“Stake 0.5 ETH to earn rewards.”
The agent will:
Detect that direct ETH2 staking requires 32 ETH, and you don’t have that much.
Suggest using a liquid staking platform like Lido, where you can stake small amounts and receive stETH, a token that represents your staked ETH.
Help you complete the swap and deposit into Lido automatically.
Another example:
“Stake my UNI tokens”
The agent will:
Check what options exist maybe UNI can be staked in a governance contract or yield pool.
Ask for clarification if needed: “Do you want to stake UNI in a fee-sharing contract or provide liquidity on Uniswap?”
Tracking Rewards & Earnings
Before staking, the agent will tell you:
“By staking 100 CAKE, you can earn ~45% APY. Rewards are paid in CAKE and can be claimed anytime. Shall I proceed?”
Once staking is done, it will:
Tell you how and when you can claim your rewards
Inform you of any lock-up periods or fees
In the future, it might even remind you to claim or unstake
Unstaking & Exiting
When you want to stop staking, just say:
“Unstake my ETH from ETH2.”
The agent checks how you staked it:
If you used liquid staking (like Lido), it might just swap stETH back to ETH for you.
If you staked natively, it will follow the proper Ethereum unstaking process, including wait times if required (e.g., post-Shanghai upgrade withdrawals).
It explains clearly what happens next — no surprises.
Why Use the Staking Agent?
Without it, staking involves:
Choosing between dozens of platforms
Handling approvals, staking contracts, and confusing tokens
Managing risks, lock-ups, and reward claims manually
With the Staking Agent:
You just say what you want to do
The agent picks the best option, explains it simply, and carries out the transaction
It keeps you informed and in control, without needing to be a DeFi expert
