The Haven1 mainnet has officially launched, and our ecosystem is open for everyone. Whether you’re here from our early testnet days, claimed your airdrop, or bridged assets into Haven1 for the first time.

This guide will walk you through how to put your assets to work across the Haven1 hApp Store, the marketplace for our native protocols.

Welcome to the Haven1 Ecosystem

Whether you're a new arrival or a longtime supporter, Haven1 is designed to make DeFi 2.0 secure, transparent, and rewarding.

Here’s how you can maximize your opportunities:

🪙 hEarn – Hands-Free Yield Vaults (Powered by ICHI)

hEarn is Haven1’s native yield product, offering effortless access to real yield through ICHI's Automated Liquidity Management (ALM) vaults.

Why ICHI Vaults? 

• There is over $70 million Total Value Locked (TVL) across its vaults
• It supports 35+ AMMs across 31 networks
• It operates 894+ active vaults
• ICHI is recognized as a leader in capital-efficient, protocol-owned liquidity solutions across DeFi

When you deposit into hEarn vaults (hUSDC, wH1, cbBTC, hETH, hsETH supported), you benefit from ICHI’s:

• Proven yield optimization strategies
• Single-sided exposure without the need for manual pair balancing
• Institutional-grade infrastructure and security

Early participants can access particularly strong APYs while the vaults remain underpopulated.

🔀 hSwap – Swap and Earn

hSwap is Haven1’s decentralized exchange (DEX), the hub for token trading and liquidity provision.

Key features:

• Real-time routing for seamless trades
• No separate bridging or external gas fees when trading within Haven1

Importantly, fees collected on hSwap help support the Haven1 network, they don’t extract value away like traditional DEXs. By using hSwap, you directly contribute to the ecosystem’s growth.

🌉 hBridge – Move Assets Easily

To join or expand your participation on Haven1, you’ll likely need to bridge assets from Ethereum or Base networks using hBridge.

How it works:

1. Connect your wallet
2. Select the source chain (Ethereum or Base)
3. Select the token you want to bridge
4. Enter the amount and confirm
   

To withdraw assets back to Ethereum or Base, simply reverse the direction on hBridge.

Note: Always make sure to bridge tokens correctly if you intend to trade or stake them inside the Haven1 network.

📈 Staking and Long-Term Commitment: hStake and esH1

hStake – Flexible Staking for H1

Through hStake, you can participate in flexible staking with your H1. Rewards are distributed in esH1 rewards which then can be locked for extra rewards or vested back into H1. 

esH1 – Locked Staking for Maximum Rewards

If you choose to lock esH1, you access the highest staking rewards in the Haven1 ecosystem.

• Locked esH1 strengthens the network's long-term economic health
• Important: Every esH1 is backed by burning 1 H1, meaning locking helps reduce H1 circulating supply, a critical factor for maintaining ecosystem stability

⚡ hsETH – ETH Staking, Powered by Stader

Haven1 has partnered with Stader, the most secure multichain liquid staking platform, to bring ETH staking directly to our community.

With hsETH, you can:

• Stake ETH and earn up to 29.88%+ APR. (APR as of 30th April) 
• Receive hsETH, a liquid staking token you can use inside the Haven1 ecosystem
• Continue earning Ethereum staking rewards while using hsETH for DeFi opportunities, like providing liquidity on hSwap or earning yield using hEarn
  

How it works:

1. Stake your ETH
2. Receive hsETH
3. Bridge hsETH to the Haven1 mainnet
4. Deploy hsETH across Haven1 DeFi protocols to maximize your rewards.
   

By staking through Stader and Haven1, you get battle-tested, multichain security combined with new DeFi flexibility on Haven1.

⚡ Note: More opportunities for hsETH are coming soon with the launch of our hLend lending and borrowing platform.
