ZircuitstakingZircuitstaking: your first deposit with Zircuit
Updated on
A supported LST or LRT deposit into Zircuit's staking program can earn Zircuit Points alongside underlying yield. Match the exact token to the staking network before committing funds.
- Program inputs
- ETH, compatible liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and compatible liquid restaking tokens (LRTs). Confirm availability for the selected staking route.
- L1 staking network
- Ethereum mainnet for the documented compatible-asset staking contract. The application lists L1 Staking and L2 Staking separately.
- Withdrawal terms
- Zircuit staking has no lockup or withdrawal period, and earned points and yield are retained. LST or LRT partners may impose their own withdrawal periods.
Choose the asset before comparing incentives
The Liquidity Hub asset list includes ETH, wstETH, weETH, ezETH, and rsETH. Confirm support for your exact token on the chosen staking route before depositing.
An existing LST or LRT carries an underlying staking or restaking position. Yield and partner incentives depend on the asset. Choosing an LRT also brings restaking exposure, including slashing risk, that a reward multiplier doesn't measure.
Keep an L1 staking deposit distinct from a bridge transfer
Zircuit's LST/LRT Liquidity Hub documentation places the compatible-asset staking contract on Ethereum mainnet. Depositing into that contract and moving assets onto Zircuit L2 are distinct operations.
First-deposit decision checklist for wstETH
Suppose you already hold wstETH on Ethereum mainnet and want Zircuit rewards while keeping that LST exposure. Proceed only if the L1 staking route accepts your exact token.
- Check wstETH support and Ethereum mainnet together before entering a deposit amount. If that combination isn't available, stop before submitting.
- Submit the amount that you chose, then check the completed staking transaction and recorded deposit amount on Ethereum mainnet. A bridge transfer alone doesn't confirm an L1 staking deposit.
- After confirmation, you can leave the position at that amount. Zircuit permits withdrawal without a lockup while retaining earned points and yield; redeeming the LST into its underlying asset remains subject to the provider's terms.
