Every time you sit down to figure out staking you find six websites, three token variants, and a forum thread from 2023 arguing about gas. Most people bounce. The ones who push through eventually fat finger an approval. This page is the shortcut. Pick what you want your LINK to end up as. We show you the route, you choose the venue, and nothing moves until you click confirm in your own wallet.
Step 2 of 3: Read the route before signing
Skip the DeFi decision tree. Tell us whether you want stLINK, passive yield, or Curve fees. We point you to the cleanest route.
Each card tells you what the route does, who it is for, and where it goes. Nothing happens until you open the venue yourself.
Your wallet signs. Our servers never see your keys and never broadcast for you. If you close the tab halfway through, nothing moves.
You do not need to read a contract spec to start. Pick a route, read what each step does, and if a warning shows up, read that too. Everything else is gravy.
It's a token you get when you deposit LINK into stake.link. It earns staking rewards automatically, and you can hold it, trade it, or LP it like any other ERC 20. Think of it as your LINK, but working.
No. Pick the outcome you want and we point you to the venue. If you're curious, each card explains what is happening before you click through.
Start with 'Just stake it.' You put in LINK, you get stLINK, you earn staking rewards. That's the whole flow. The other routes exist when you want a different risk and reward profile.
No. The simple routes on this page are LINK first. If you do not already care about SDL, you can ignore it here.
Close the tab. Cancel in your wallet. Both work. Nothing is pending on our side because we don't hold any state about you. The only state is whatever you've already signed and broadcast from your own wallet.
The developer page shows how to plug Claude, Cursor, Codex, or curl into the public MCP. Your agent reads the protocol, plans the route, and hands you transactions to sign. Your keys stay where they are.
