We use a white-label solution from Blockdaemon that allows you to stake Ethereum (more tokens coming soon) directly through an integrated widget in the platform. It simplifies the highly technical process of setting up a validator by connecting our platform's interface to Blockdaemon's institutional-grade node infrastructure.
Connecting to the widget
Unlike dApps which require you to connect your wallet to the application before you can interact with the third-party (e.g. Maple Finance), the Blockdaemon widget does not require a wallet connection. You simply enter how much you want to stake and the widget/Atlas will handle the rest.
User interface
You'll see four main sections in the widget that reflect your position:
Staking - How much you're currently staking
Earnings - How much your wallet address has earned from staking (ever)
Unstaking - Assets which are in the process of being unstaked
Available to claim - Assets which have been unstaked and are available for you to claim back into their wallet
Activity - Your recent staking-related actions.
Staking
Follow these steps to stake your ETH with the widget.
Ensure you have enough ETH
You'll need at least 0.01 ETH to stake, plus enough ETH to cover the gas fee. There is no maximum limit on the amount of ETH you can stake.
Open Stake
Clicks Stake from the main Ethereum staking card.
Enter amount
The widget displays the available balance and an amount input.
You can:
Manually enter a stake amount, or
Click Max to use the full available balance.
Review validator and summary
Validator: fixed to Blockdaemon’s Ethereum validator.
Summary displays:
APY and estimated rewards over a standard horizon.
Estimated network fee.
Submit stake transaction
Click Stake.
The widget triggers the Ethereum transaction flow in the connected wallet.
Post-stake state
On success, your Ethereum overview will update to show:
Total staked amount (aggregated across stake accounts).
Staking rewards section (estimated or accrued).
A list of stake activity, each with:
Status tag, for example, Stake.
The balance of the activity.
