Stake ETH

Step-by-step guide to staking ETH through Moly

This guide walks through staking ETH for stETH using both the dashboard chat and the MCP server.

Via Dashboard Chat

Open the dashboard and type in the chat:

Simulate staking 0.1 ETH

The agent will call stake_eth with dry_run: true and show:

Expected stETH output (~0.1 stETH)
Estimated gas cost
A note that no transaction was broadcast

Via MCP Server (Claude Code)

With the MCP server connected to Claude Code:

You: Stake 0.1 ETH on Hoodi testnet
Claude: I'll stake 0.1 ETH for you.
        [calls stake_eth with amount: "0.1"]
        Transaction sent! Hash: 0xabc...
        Expected stETH: ~0.1
        Gas used: 82,431

💡

Always test with simulation mode first. Switch to live mode only when you are ready to execute real transactions.

What Happens When You Stake

Your ETH is sent to the Lido staking contract
You receive stETH (a rebasing liquid staking token) in return
stETH balance grows daily as staking rewards accrue
You can use stETH in DeFi, wrap it to wstETH, or withdraw back to ETH
