Pendle Staking in three steps
Use Pendle Staking when you want PENDLE exposure to become governance weight, market votes and incentive direction without handing custody to a third party.
Connect your wallet
Open the app, choose the network that holds your PENDLE and connect a Web3 wallet. You approve and sign each action yourself.
Choose amount and duration
Enter the PENDLE amount, review the lock expiry and compare the voting power shown by the app before you commit.
Lock for vePENDLE
Confirm from your wallet to receive vePENDLE, then use it to vote, support markets and participate in Pendle's yield ecosystem.
Stake where yield markets are built
Govern the yield layer
vePENDLE gives stakers a direct role in market votes and incentive flows across a protocol built for fixed yield and yield trading.
Know the commitment first
Locking is a time-based commitment. The app shows the expiry, wallet approvals, network costs and live incentive context before you sign.
Built for DeFi routes
Pendle markets connect with DeFi yield markets, liquid-staking assets and stablecoin strategies while your staking controls stay in one wallet flow.
Pendle Staking follows PENDLE and Pendle markets across supported EVM networks, including Ethereum and major scaling ecosystems.
Pendle Staking questions
What is Pendle Staking?
Pendle Staking is the process of locking PENDLE to receive vePENDLE, the voting escrow token used for governance, market voting and incentive direction inside Pendle.
Is Pendle Staking non-custodial?
Yes. You connect your wallet, approve token use and sign the lock transaction yourself. The app never needs your private key or seed phrase.
How long does staking take?
The wallet action usually moves at network speed. Confirmation time depends on the chain, gas conditions and the wallet settings you choose.
What does it cost?
You pay the network gas required to approve and lock tokens. The app shows live costs before you confirm, and explorers such as Ethereum gas tracking can help you judge timing.
What are the main risks?
Pendle Staking uses smart contracts and a time-based lock, so review expiry, contract prompts, token approvals and market conditions before signing. No DeFi staking flow is free of risk.
Which chains are supported?
Pendle is available across supported EVM networks, with availability changing by market and token. See the full list on the supported chains page.
