How to Stake ETH Using MetaMask Portfolio with Everstake

Staking ETH is now easier than ever. Everstake is featured in MetaMask Portfolio, giving users quick access to our dedicated Ethereum staking dashboard. While this guide focuses on ETH, Everstake also supports other assets like POL through separate staking flows.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to stake ETH using MetaMask Portfolio and Everstake.

What is MetaMask Portfolio?

MetaMask Portfolio is the all-in-one dashboard for MetaMask users to track, manage, and interact with their Web3 assets across multiple networks. The “Discover” section within Portfolio helps users explore trusted services, including staking providers like Everstake.

Why Stake ETH?

Staking ETH is a way to participate in securing the Ethereum network by helping validate transactions. In return, validators (or those delegating to them) receive network-based rewards. While your ETH remains in your control during the delegation process, staking it with a reliable validator like Everstake ensures both performance and transparency. 

It’s also a way to put idle assets to productive use, supporting decentralization in the process.
