How to Use Boost

Boost is a yield amplification strategy built into every Vault. It uses your osETH as collateral on Aave to borrow additional ETH, which is then staked back into the Vault on your behalf. This looping process repeats automatically, amplifying your staking position with a single click — no manual DeFi steps required. Over the mid term, Boost historically delivers a total APY of approximately 4–6%.

IconPrerequisites

To use Boost, you need osETH in your wallet.

  1. Head to the Vault page
  1. Check the Boost APY displayed in the Vault to decide if it's a good time to enter
  2. Click plus (+) button to start the boost process
  3. Enter the amount of osETH to boost in the input field
  4. Review boost details and confirm the transaction in your wallet. You will be asked to sign a spending approval for osETH when boosting for the first time.
IconMonitor Your Position

Periodically check on your Vault position to ensure the Boost APY is positive. If you see a negative Boost APY for longer than 7 days in a row, consider unboosting your position. Stay informed for real-time updates via the StakeWise Discord ↗.

Unboost​

  1. Head to the Vault page
  2. Click minus (–) button to start the unboost process
  3. Enter the percentage of the position you want to exit
  4. Confirm the transaction – Your request enters the unboost queue, where processing time depends on the network exit queue. Only one unboost request can be active at a time.
  5. Claim your assets – Once processing is complete, click the Claim button on the Vault page. Claim as soon as assets become available to maximize your rewards.
