Ethereum Liquid Staking
What and why is Ethereum Liquid Staking?
Ankr Staking offers Ethereum token holders the opportunity to stake ETH and in return claim Ethereum Liquid Staking tokens — ankrETH (ex-aETHc).
There are no more new stakes getting aETHb token. However, old stakes with aETHb keep generating you rewards. You can also switch aETHb for ankrETH now (opens in a new tab) (supply is limited).
Currently, unstaking is not available, as this functionality is not yet supported by Ethereum.
Unstaking will be enabled after in the Shanghai upgrade that will follow The Merge in 6-12 months.
Overall, it looks like Shanghai is going to happen April 12, 2023.
