What is cbETH?

cbETH, or Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH, is a utility token that represents Ethereum staked through Coinbase. Launched in June 2022, it's designed to simplify and secure ETH staking by offering DeFi advantages and enhanced liquidity.

By wrapping staked ETH into cbETH, users gain the flexibility to trade or transfer their staked ETH ahead of upcoming Ethereum upgrades. As an ERC-20 token, cbETH equates to one staked ETH plus accumulated staking rewards, ensuring that stakers don't miss out on earning potential during their investment period.

The Advantages of cbETH

Coinbase has positioned cbETH as a key player in the DeFi space by ensuring its compatibility with a wide range of DeFi applications.

cbETH provides a solid Annual Percentage Yield (APY) and the potential for additional earnings through engagement with DeFi protocols. It is one of the most established and secure liquid staking tokens in the market, including practices to minimize slashing risks, diversification of node operators, clients, and hosting.
