What is wrapped stETH (wstETH)?

It's an ERC-20 value-accruing token wrapper for stETH. Its balance does not change with each oracle report, but its value in stETH does. Internally, it represents the user's share of the total supply of stETH tokens.

Why use wstETH?

wstETH is mainly used as a layer of compatibility to integrate stETH into other DeFi protocols, that do not support rebasable tokens, especially bridges to L2s and other chains, as rebases don't work for bridged assets by default.

How to use wstETH?

The contract can be used as a trustless wrapper that accepts stETH tokens and mints wstETH in return. When the user unwraps, the contract burns the user's wstETH, and sends the user locked stETH in return.

Staking shortcut

note

For attaching a referral address use the Wsteth Referral Staker contract

The user can send ETH with regular transfer to the address of the contract and get wstETH in return. The contract will send ETH to Lido submit method, staking it and wrapping the received stETH seamlessly under the hood.

Standards

Contract implements the following Ethereum standards:

• ERC-20: Token Standard
• ERC-2612: Permit Extension for ERC-20 Signed Approvals
• EIP-712: Typed structured data hashing and signing
