Configure MetaVault

Once deployed, your MetaVault isn't functional until you link at least one sub-vault to delegate staked assets to. Only the MetaVault admin can add sub-vaults, and they can be added or removed at any time over the Vault's lifetime.

Add Sub-Vaults​

On your MetaVault page, open the Sub-vaults tab and paste a Vault address or select one from the dropdown. MetaVaults can have Regular Vaults and MetaVaults as sub-vaults:

Regular Vaults link directly. Any Regular Vault registered on StakeWise can be added — but linking a private Regular Vault will fail until that Vault's operator whitelists your MetaVault. If you have an agreement with a private Vault operator, coordinate with them to whitelist your MetaVault first.

MetaVaults go through a two-step process: you propose the MetaVault via a post on the StakeWise forum ↗, and the StakeWise DAO then approves it.

Before a sub-vault can be linked, it must:

  • Be collateralized — for a Regular Vault, this means it has launched at least one validator; for a MetaVault used as a sub-vault, it means it already has at least one sub-vault of its own. Brand-new Vaults that haven't reached this point yet can't be added.
  • Rewards must be in sync — the sub-vault and your MetaVault need to be on the same Keeper rewards update.

The rewards-sync requirement only kicks in once your MetaVault already has a sub-vault. When you add the first one, the MetaVault simply adopts that sub-vault's rewards state.
