Question 1

What is stETH?

Accepted Answer

stETH (staked Ether) is a liquid staking token issued by Lido Finance. When you stake ETH through Lido, you receive stETH that represents your staked position plus accrued rewards. Your stETH balance increases daily through rebases.

Question 2

How often are stETH rebases?

Accepted Answer

stETH rebases happen once per day, typically around 12:00 UTC. Each rebase increases your stETH balance proportionally to the staking rewards earned by the Lido validator set. Current APY is approximately 3–4%.

Question 3

Do I pay taxes on stETH rebases?

Accepted Answer

In most jurisdictions (US, UK, Germany, etc.) each daily stETH rebase is treated as ordinary income at the market price on the day of receipt. StakeFlow generates a full tax report with every rebase event, price at date, and total annual income. See our Tax Guide for details.

Question 4

What is the difference between stETH and wstETH?

Accepted Answer

stETH is a rebasing token — your balance increases daily. wstETH (wrapped stETH) is a non-rebasing version: your balance stays constant but the token price rises instead. wstETH is useful for DeFi protocols that don't support rebasing tokens.

Question 5

How to track staking yield and APY?

Accepted Answer

Connect your Ethereum wallet on StakeFlow to see your real-time stETH APY, daily reward history, total PnL in USD and ETH, and a complete tax report. No registration required — just enter your wallet address.
