Rewards

Stake DAO Lending keeps your strategy rewards intact while your collateral is used to borrow. You do not forfeit incentives just because your position is collateralized.

What Rewards You Earn

Rewards depend on the underlying strategy and can include:

  • Main rewards from the base protocol (for example CRV)
  • Extra rewards from gauges or partner incentives

The wrapper tracks both types so you always receive the correct amounts.

How Rewards Keep Accruing

The wrapper mirrors the RewardVault accounting system. It checkpoints reward integrals for each user so rewards continue to accrue even if:

  • Your collateral is supplied to the lending protocol
  • You borrow against it
  • You top up or partially withdraw

This keeps the reward logic consistent with the original strategy.

Claiming Rewards

You can claim rewards at any time, even while borrowed. Claims do not affect your collateral or debt position.

Open your position

Navigate to your lending position in the Stake DAO app.

Claim rewards

Claim main and extra rewards directly from the wrapper.

Rewards are transferred straight to your wallet. There is no lock-up and no need to repay before claiming.

What Happens On Deposit or Withdraw

  • New deposits trigger a checkpoint so past rewards are not diluted.
  • Withdrawals claim pending rewards before burning wrapper tokens.

This ensures rewards are always attributed to the correct holder.

Liquidation and Rewards

If your position is liquidated, rewards stop accruing on the seized amount immediately. You still keep rewards earned up to the liquidation event.

Common Questions

Do I need to claim before repaying?
No. Rewards are independent from your debt position.

Can I auto-compound rewards?
You can manually re-deposit rewards into a strategy, but rewards are not auto-compounded by default.
