Anyone with the Coinbase Wallet app is now able to use Ankr Staking. However, you will need to make sure you have the browser extension installed.

3. With liquid staking options, you will be granted a new liquid staking token such as aETHb or aAVAXb. The liquid staking tokens will automatically be sent to your Coinbase Wallet after you stake.

The Benefits of Liquid Staking With Ankr

Instant Liquidity

Using Ankr Staking is the best way to stake crypto as you can access instant liquidity in the form of liquid staking tokens. This way, you to use the value of your staked tokens to earn multiple layers of rewards on DeFi platforms and multiply your potential rewards.

Boosted Yields

• Liquidity mining opportunities are enabled by providing liquidity for pools in decentralized exchanges.

• Farming rewards for liquidity providers. Liquid Staking presents several yield farming strategies for users to contribute to liquidity pools and gain a share of the trading fees and governance tokens. These new LP tokens can be used to generate yet another layer of earnings.

• Staking rewards on farmed tokens. After using yield farming strategies, users can also reinvest their farmed LP tokens into more staking opportunities. This is a highly repeatable process as layers of rewards from farming and staking will quickly stack up.

• Yield aggregators /vaults can automate yield farming rewards and enable compounding returns with next to no effort from users. This is a great method for maximizing your passive income strategy.

• More trading opportunities are enabled as you could potentially buy liquid staking tokens at a discount on a Decentralized Exchange and redeem them (unstake it) on Ankr Staking to extract their fair value.

More Flexibility

If you would like to unstake your tokens, you can choose the “unstake” option at any time on the Ankr Earn platform.

Borrowing and Lending

Many liquid staking tokens will also allow users to borrow against their assets in exchange for the original assets like ETH that can be restaked or used for additional earning strategies. Or, lend your liquid staked assets in return for interest paid by borrowers.

No technical knowledge required

Receive an easier staking experience with no technical knowledge necessary. Many times liquid staking makes staking as easy as a swap: you can even swap your assets for liquid staking tokens, like aETHc, right from the in-app swap feature built into Coinbase Wallet for the same effect as staking ETH.
