✍️Signature Stakes

What is a Signature Stake?

A Signature Stake is a WISE stake created with the "I prefer this stake to be transferable" option enabled when staking WISE. Unlike a standard stake, a Signature Stake:

• Can be transferred to another wallet or used directly by third-party DeFi protocols

• Remains scrapable — interest can be collected at any time without affecting the principal

• Keeps earning its full staking APY and bonuses for the length of the stake, for durations up to 42 years

Signature Stakes as Collateral

Because a Signature Stake is a transferable, verifiable on-chain position with a predictable, growing value, it can be pledged as collateral to open a line of credit without ever unstaking — and therefore without losing — the underlying WISE.

This already works today on general-purpose NFT/position-collateral lending markets such as anvil.xyz, and is also the foundation for a native Wise collateral product currently in development.

The Largest WISE Staking Position

The Signature Stakes contract (0x48791DbDFB38bAA58e48329148C321bF33B3c1e1) is the single largest WISE staking position in the ecosystem — holding roughly a quarter of all staked WISE. See the live breakdown of top WISE holders on DeBank.
