Avalanche Liquid Staking in three steps
Stake AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain, receive sAVAX, and keep control from the wallet you already use. The app handles the staking route while your wallet shows every transaction before approval.
Connect your wallet
Open the app and connect a compatible Avalanche wallet such as Core Wallet. Your private keys stay with you, and every approval is signed locally.
Enter AVAX to stake
Choose the AVAX amount in the app, review the live sAVAX output, estimated APR, network cost, and route details, then decide whether the quote fits your position.
Confirm and receive sAVAX
Sign the transaction from your wallet. After confirmation, sAVAX represents your liquid staking position while validators secure the Avalanche network through proof of stake.
Earn from AVAX without freezing your DeFi flow
Stay liquid with sAVAX
sAVAX is the liquid token you receive after staking AVAX. You can hold it, track it in your wallet, or use it across supported DeFi venues while your staking position continues to reflect rewards.
Support Avalanche validators
Liquid staking routes AVAX into staking infrastructure that helps secure the Avalanche network. You get a wallet-native token instead of managing validator delegation yourself.
Exit through the app
When you want to unwind, use the app to review the available unstaking path, expected timing, and wallet confirmation. Timing can change with network conditions and protocol queues.
Avalanche Liquid Staking is built around AVAX and sAVAX on Avalanche C-Chain, with app support for wallet-confirmed staking and unstaking.
