Boost Tonstakers Staking Rewards with Leveraged Staking
Key Takeaways
- Leveraged staking lets you borrow TON using tsTON to stake more and increase your staking rewards.
- EVAA Earn simplified staking makes DeFi strategies on TON more accessible and rewarding.
- Users can earn up to ~7.5% APY with automatic compounding through staking loops.
Tonstakers is the first liquid staking protocol on TON to offer such a simple-to-use leveraged staking solution. Stake TON, connect your wallet to EVAA Earn, and follow the steps to leverage your stake.
One of the core DeFi features is composability: the ability to combine multiple DeFi products into complex strategies and maximize rewards. Liquid staking made this possible for traditional staking, and now DeFi lending protocols enable users to leverage their staked assets and significantly increase their returns.
In this article, we explore the concept of leveraged staking and explain how to boost staking APY using EVAA or Factorial lending protocols within TON blockchain ecosystem.
How Liquid Staking Contributes to DeFi Composability
By staking TON on Tonstakers, users receive tsTON tokens, which represent their staked assets and accumulate staking rewards.
These liquid staking tokens (LSTs) can be used in external DeFi platforms to earn additional yield while still receiving the base rewards. For example, users can provide liquidity in the tsTON/TON pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX) to collect trading fees, or supply tsTON to a DeFi lending protocol like EVAA to earn interest rewards.
This showcases how liquid staking in DeFi allows composability between staking, lending, and trading strategies.
How Lending Protocols Work in DeFi
DeFi lending protocols such as EVAA and Factorial allow users to deposit collateral in one token (e.g., tsTON) and borrow another token (e.g., TON) without selling their original asset. This mechanism is particularly useful for leveraged staking strategies.
By borrowing more tokens, users can reinvest in staking platforms and increase their DeFi yields—applying leverage while retaining ownership of the collateralized tokens. This method works well with liquid staking solutions, enabling users to double staking rewards.
How to Leverage TON Staking with Tonstakers
In general, leveraged liquid staking means staking TON, depositing the resulting tsTON into a lending protocol, borrowing more TON, and staking that borrowed TON to increase the staking position.
Here’s how leveraged staking on TON blockchain works step-by-step with Tonstakers and EVAA:
- Stake TON on Tonstakers.
- Supply tsTON to EVAA.
- Borrow TON.
- Stake borrowed TON on Tonstakers.
- Repeat the process to further increase staking rewards.
Note: Borrowing incurs an interest cost (Borrow APY). More than 5 loops may not be economically viable depending on the borrow rate and staking APY.
Leveraged Staking TON with EVAA: Step-by-Step Guide
To begin with leveraged staking on TON, follow these steps:
Stake your TON on Tonstakers to receive tsTON and start generating staking rewards.
Visit the EVAA Earn page, connect your wallet, and adjust the number of loops via the slider
Click “Supply tsTON to EVAA” and select the amount to supply.
Click “Borrow TON” using your tsTON as collateral.
Finally, stake the borrowed TON via Tonstakers.
You can repeat the loop to increase your staking position and overall yield.
Leveraged Staking TON With Factorial
Leveraged staking with Factorial is similar to EVAA, albeit you have to supply and borrow tokens manually without a dedicated leveraged staking interface.
First, go to the Factorial Finance app. There connect the wallet and supply tsTON.
Then borrow TON, considering the risk factor and effective leverage.
Finally, stake borrowed TON on Tonstakers to increase your staking position and rewards.
How Much Can You Earn with Leveraged Staking?
Let’s estimate potential leveraged staking rewards using current data:
- Tonstakers staking APY: 3.61%
- TON borrow APY: 0.99%
- Maximum borrowing power: 70% of collateral value
If you stake 100 TON, you’ll receive ~94.5 tsTON. This earns 3.6 TON/year.
With 94.5 tsTON as collateral, you can borrow ~66.15 TON. Borrowing at 0.99% APY costs ~0.66 TON/year, but staking the borrowed TON yields ~2.38 TON/year.
Net reward: 3.6 TON + 2.38 TON - 0.66 TON = 5.32 TON/year, or 5.32% APY. With additional loops, it’s possible to reach 6–7% APY, depending on staking yield and borrow interest rates.
Conclusions
Leveraged staking with Tonstakers and EVAA opens a new chapter for DeFi on TON—giving users the ability to maximize rewards without sacrificing liquidity.
By looping tsTON and TON through a seamless integration, stakers can earn higher APY, accumulate EVAA XP, and explore more capital-efficient strategies. Whether you’re a seasoned DeFi user or just getting started, this upgrade makes staking smarter, more flexible, and more rewarding.
