1. Withdraw ETHFI from Vault with Cash
Once cross-chain withdrawals are enabled:
Select ETHFI as the token
Enter the wallet address you want to stake from (this will also be the one you link to your membership account)
Confirm the withdrawal- You can now send ETHFI directly via Ethereum or Scroll
Note: If you deposited USD (USDC) via bank transfer, converted it to ETHFI, and staked ETHFI through the Vault, you will need an EOA wallet (Externally Owned Account) to unstake ETHFI later.
2. Bridge ETHFI through your preferred DEX(Optional)
If you want to stake on another supported network (Base, Arbitrum One) you can bridge ETHFI using Jumper Exchange, Portal, or Stargate.
Bridging is now optional since ETHFI can be sent via Ethereum directly.
3. Stake ETHFI on ether.fi
After your ETHFI is in your wallet:
Go to the staking app: https://www.ether.fi/app/ethfi
Connect your wallet
Stake the desired amount of ETHFI
This step is required for your ETHFI to be counted toward membership tier upgrades.
4. Link Your Wallet to Membership
To have your staked ETHFI reflected in your membership tier:
Link the wallet you used to stake ETHFI
Once linked, your tier will update based on your staked ETHFI balance.
Membership Tiers:
Luxe Tier: Requires 15,000 ETHFI staked
Pinnacle Tier: Requires 100,000 ETHFI staked
Please make sure you are linking the correct wallet associated with your ETHFI positions.
If You Are Holding ETHFI in an External Wallet (EOA)
If you already hold ETHFI in a personal wallet (e.g., MetaMask), you can skip the withdrawal step:
Connect your EOA
Your ETHFI positions will be detected and your tier will be upgraded
Alternatively, you can also stake ETHFI or simply hold ETHFI in your Vault with Cash to upgrade your membership tier.
