Currently you can mint all vTokens using the Bifrost dapp:
They are available under the Bifrost chains (Bifrost-Polkadot and Bifrost-Kusama) which supports the Polkadot SDK (Substrate). vETH is directly available under the Ethereum chain.
If you are already familiar with Polkadot and understand staking principles, you can jump successfully on our app and using it right away! Follow the guidance and relevant links below to get going.
With Bifrost, you are now able to stake your tokens (DOT, KSM, ETH, MANTA, GLMR, ASTR, MOVR, FIL, BNC) in exchange for vTokens which you can deploy around the Polkadot ecosystem and beyond. In order to liquid stake your tokens, visit and select “vStaking”.

Step-by-step tutorials
Example with vDOT below:
Before minting and using vDOT you first need to hold DOT in the Bifrost network. Prepare DOT on your wallet address on the relay chain: - Purchase DOT on CEX or DEX - Buy DOT with credit card with fiat on-ramp solutions (i.e Banxa) - Withdraw from other ecosystem parachains (HydraDX, Moonbeam, Astar, Interlay...)
Click "Cross chain" in the main navigation menu on the left to enter the cross chain function
Click on the "From" option and select Polkadot
Enter the amount of DOT that needs to be crossed in into Bifrost, and click "Cross in" to complete the confirmation and sign the transaction. Finally wait for the transaction to be completed (6 to 12s). You successfully deposited DOT on Bifrost !
Click on vStaking in the main navigation menu, then click vDOT to enter the vDOT page
Enter the amount of DOT to be minted into vDOT in the right panel (0.5 DOT is the minimum)
Login to and confirm the network in the upper right corner is Polkadot
Click on "Stake" button, confirm and sign the transaction. Once vDOT are minted they are directly deposited in your .
