  • At inception, the product includes Lido's etETH, Rocket Pool's rETH and StakeWise's sETH2.

    Interest in liquid-staking protocols such as these has been on the rise so far this year ahead of Ethereum's Shanghai upgrade, which is set to take place in March. The upgrade will allow ETH stakers to withdraw their tokens, which are locked on the network, thereby attracting more users looking to stake their assets.

    The aim of dsETH is to provide users with a way of earning yield on the most prominent staking services without being completely exposed to one particular protocol.
