is staked by depositing it into Kaito's staking vault on Base, which hands you sKAITO in return. sKAITO is a share of the vault. Kaito pays rewards into the vault, which raises how much
each share is worth, so your sKAITO balance stays the same while what it redeems for goes up.
That is two transactions in most wallets: the approval, then the deposit.
The plug
deposits 10
into the Staked KAITO vault on Base. Change the amount to however much you want to stake. Your wallet sends the approval and the deposit, and the sKAITO lands in your wallet, the same as staking through Kaito's page.
Kaito charges no fee to stake. You pay Base gas, which comes to well under a cent at November 2026 prices.
