Liquid Staking SUI on Haedal — Earn Yield Without Locking
Stake SUI without locking it. Deposit into Haedal, receive haSUI — a liquid staking token that earns yield while staying composable across Sui DeFi. Sell instantly, lend it, or LP it. Sui Wallet Desktop integrates Haedal directly.
haSUI yield (Haedal)
Tracks network APY, minus protocol fee. Boostable via DeFi composability — at the cost of smart-contract risk.
The trade-off
Why liquid staking exists
Native staking earns yield but locks your tokens for one epoch. Liquid staking lifts that constraint — at a clearly defined cost.
Liquidity
Exit instantly
Composability
Use it in DeFi
Rate accrual
Worth more over time
Mechanism
How haSUI is minted, accrued, and exited
The Haedal protocol stakes deposited SUI across a curated validator set, then issues haSUI at the current exchange rate.
- 01
Deposit SUI
You send SUI to the Haedal contract from Sui Wallet Desktop. - 02
Validators stake on your behalf
The contract spreads your SUI across a pool of selected validators. - 03
haSUI is minted to your wallet
You receive haSUI at the current haSUI:SUI exchange rate. - 04
Rewards accrue into the pool
Each epoch, validator rewards land in the protocol's staked SUI pool. - 05
Exchange rate rises
The haSUI:SUI rate ticks up — your haSUI is worth more SUI each epoch. - 06
Exit anytime
Sell haSUI for SUI on a DEX (instant) or burn through the protocol (~1 epoch).
