Guide to wstETH on Sei

What is wstETH?

wstETH (Wrapped stETH) is the wrapped, non rebasing version of Lido’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.
