Step 0: Introduction to Lido stVaults

Ebunker provides an interface for creating and managing Lido stVaults, allowing users to stake ETH through a dedicated vault and optionally access stETH liquidity against the ETH held in that vault.

This guide covers the main stVault actions available through the Ebunker interface: Create Vault, Stake, Withdraw, Mint, and Repay.

Understanding the stVault flow

The basic lifecycle can be summarized as:

Create Vault → Stake ETH → Mint stETH (optional) → Repay stETH → Withdraw ETH

You do not need to mint stETH simply to stake ETH. Mint is an optional liquidity function for users who want to obtain stETH against ETH held in their stVault. If stETH has been minted, it may need to be repaid before all underlying ETH can be withdrawn.

Before confirming a transaction

Always verify the vault address, asset, amount, and transaction details in your wallet before signing. On-chain transactions require network gas fees and cannot generally be reversed once confirmed.

The values shown in the interface, including reward rates, fees, minting capacity, balances, and APR, may change over time based on protocol and vault conditions.
