WTF is Liquid Staking?

Liquid staking is a revolutionary concept in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) that allows users to stake their cryptocurrency tokens while still retaining liquidity. Traditional staking involves locking up tokens in a network to help secure it and validate transactions, which earns the staker rewards. However, these tokens are typically locked and inaccessible for a set period, limiting the flexibility of the staker.

Liquid staking solves this problem by providing stakers with a derivative token that represents their staked assets. This derivative token can be freely traded, used in other DeFi applications, or even staked again in some cases, offering a level of flexibility that traditional staking cannot match. Essentially, liquid staking allows users to earn staking rewards without sacrificing the liquidity of their assets.

Here’s a quick breakdown of how liquid staking works:

Staking: Users stake their tokens in a staking pool.

Receiving LSTs: In return, they receive Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) that represent their staked assets.

Maintaining Liquidity: These LSTs can be traded or used in DeFi activities, providing liquidity while still earning staking rewards from the underlying staked tokens.
