# Asset Guide - wstETH

## What is wstETH?

wstETH (Wrapped stETH) is the wrapped, non rebasing version of [Lido](https://stake.lido.fi/)’s staked ETH. It represents a user’s share of stETH and accrues staking rewards through an increase in its value relative to ETH, rather than through an increasing token balance. It is ERC20 compatible and designed for seamless integration across DeFi protocols.

### Where do I get wstETH?

You can get wstETH from:

* On-chain swaps via Sei based DEXs like [Symphony](https://symph.ag/?tokenIn=0x3894085ef7ff0f0aedf52e2a2704928d1ec074f1\&tokenOut=0xbe574b6219c6d985d08712e90c21a88fd55f1ae8).
* Decentralized platforms like Uniswap and 1inch.
* Lido’s official app by wrapping stETH.
* Centralized exchanges such as OKX or Bybit (check availability).
