Liquid Staking

As the Solana ecosystem grows, more investors are exploring ways to maximize their earned SOL. Whether through official staking or participation in various DeFi projects, investors can enhance network security and liquidity while earning competitive returns. However, each approach has unique characteristics and potential risks, including yield fluctuations, liquidity constraints on staked assets, and smart contract vulnerabilities. This article explores Solana’s official staking, Kraken, Lido, Serum, Raydium, Tulip Protocol, and other leading platforms, and details their requirements, yields, staking pools, yield cycles, advantages, and disadvantages.

With the BTC halving approaching, which will have a greater impact on future Bitcoin trends — mining or staking? This article provides an in-depth analysis of their respective market influences.

This article explores the potential benefits of combining staking with ETFs, including supply reduction, increased liquidity, and enhanced network security. It also discusses market reactions and risks. While Ethereum currently faces several challenges—such as high gas fees and growing Layer 2 competition—this proposal introduces new hope for the ecosystem.

SwellChain is a non-custodial liquid restaking protocol built on Ethereum, enabling users to restake their ETH and receive rswETH, a liquid restaking token (LRT).

ZND combines AI and blockchain to offer earning, trading, and staking services, with automated insights and secure asset management.

Lido DAO (LDO) is a decentralized autonomous organization responsible for managing the Lido liquid staking protocol. Through voting by LDO token holders, it determines protocol parameters, node operation strategies, and the overall direction of ecosystem development. As a key piece of infrastructure in the liquid staking sector, Lido DAO’s governance directly affects protocol security, reward structures, and long-term sustainability.

stETH is a liquid staking token issued by Lido DAO (LDO). It represents users’ staked ETH on the Ethereum network along with the staking rewards it generates, while allowing those assets to remain usable within the DeFi ecosystem during the staking period. Lido DAO’s token economy is built around two core assets: stETH and LDO. stETH captures staking yield and provides liquidity, while LDO governs the protocol and controls key parameters. Together, they form a dual-token model for liquid staking.

As a liquid staking protocol built on Ethereum, Lido DAO (LDO) allows users to stake ETH and receive a transferable staking token called stETH. This enables users to participate in network validation and earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity. The protocol is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and uses smart contracts to manage staked assets, node operations, and reward distribution. As a result, it lowers the barriers to traditional staking and improves capital efficiency.

Lido DAO (LDO) is a liquid staking protocol that enables users to stake ETH while receiving a transferable staking derivative, stETH, allowing them to maintain liquidity. Through this mechanism, users can participate in the Ethereum network’s staking process and earn rewards without locking up their assets. The protocol is governed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and relies on smart contracts to manage staked assets, node operations, and reward distribution. This lowers the barrier to entry for staking and improves capital efficiency.

KernelDAO enhances blockchain security and staking efficiency through restaking, liquid staking, and automated yield strategies.

This article provides an in-depth analysis of EigenLayer’s slashing mechanism, including unique stake allocation, Operator Sets, and programmable slashing rules, and explores their specific impacts on AVSs, Operators, and restakers.

P2P.org is a leading non-custodial staking provider, offering secure staking, restaking, and data services across 40+ proof-of-stake blockchain networks.

Glow Finance integrates lending and trading functions to provide a full set of financial tools aimed at maximizing capital efficiency and expanding revenue opportunities. Its core features include margin accounts, modular components, automated revenue strategies, and a unique liquidity engine.

The article analyzes the significant increase in the price of Ethereum and the multiple factors behind it, including improvements in macroeconomic policies, market sentiment recovery, expectations of Ethereum Pectra upgrade, and positive expectations for ETF staking functionality.

The article details the three native tokens of Berachain (BERA, BGT, and HONEY) and their functions, and delves into various ways to participate in the Infrared liquidity staking protocol, including staking BERA or iBGT, forming liquidity pools, etc.
