Ethena Taps LayerZero to Enable One-Click USDe Staking Across 18 Blockchains
New integration streamlines access to sUSDe yield, targeting users across major ecosystems like Optimism, Base, and Arbitrum.
September 11, 2025
Companies mentioned:
• Ethena now allows one-click USDe staking for sUSDe from 18 chains via LayerZero.
• The integration simplifies access to sUSDe yield, initially supporting networks like Optimism, Base, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain.
• Unstaking sUSDe still requires users to bridge back to the Ethereum network.
Ethena has integrated LayerZero's Omnichain Vault (OVault) technology, enabling users to stake USDe for its yield-bearing counterpart, sUSDe, in a single transaction from 18 different blockchains. This development significantly lowers the barrier to entry for earning yield, as users no longer need to first bridge their USDe assets to the Ethereum mainnet to stake.
The integration expands sUSDe's accessibility across the DeFi landscape. Day-one support is available for the Optimism ecosystem, including OP Mainnet, Base, Mode, and Frax, alongside 14 other LayerZero-connected networks such as Arbitrum, Mantle, and BNB Chain.
This move streamlines the user experience for acquiring sUSDe, making Ethena's staking yield more accessible to a wider audience. However, the process is not fully bidirectional, as the protocol specifies that users wishing to unstake their sUSDe must still bridge the assets back to Ethereum to redeem their underlying USDe.
