Wrapped Beacon Ethereum (WBETH) is a liquid staking derivative token that represents the ETH committed and its rewards. It is also a packaged version of BETH created by Binance Earn and available on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
What will PancakeSwap’s WBETH liquid staking integration provide?
With this integration, PancakeSwap now makes it easier to stake ETH. ETH staking rewards can be earned by converting ETH directly to WBETH. Some of the advantages included in the official announcement are as follows:
- Seamless ETH to WBETH conversion. Convert your ETH to WBETH with zero fees directly on PancakeSwap without the need for any third party platform.

- Earn staking rewards with WBETH. Chance to earn daily ETH Staking rewards from Ethereum. Accordingly, you can use your WBETH for participation in DeFi projects on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
- Convert WBETH back to ETH. With the dedicated ETH/WBETH liquidity pool, you can instantly convert WBETH back to ETH.

What is liquid staking?
Liquid staking is a method that allows users to stake their assets while remaining non-trading via representative tokens. This feature provides access to funds for other uses while still earning staking rewards.
As Ethereum completes the Merge upgrade, liquid staking gives users the option to stake ETH to earn rewards. Also, unlike traditional staking methods, users can continue to use their ETH and have liquidity while staking. WBETH is the key player at this point.
