Many people are unfamiliar with StakeStone (STO), but it is actually doing something very interesting: transforming assets that need to be locked to generate returns into funds that can both earn money and maintain liquidity.

This issue has long existed in the crypto world—your funds are either locked in staking protocols to earn yields or remain free but unable to generate returns. In this dilemma, you have to choose one.

StakeStone aims to break this balance: it achieves this goal through several key actions. First, it converts your staked assets into liquidity tokens, giving you a "clone" that can freely move across different public chains. Second, it leverages this cross-chain capability to help users capture yield opportunities in various ecosystems. Third, it consolidates these yields and redistributes them back to ecosystem participants.

Essentially, what StakeStone is doing is making DeFi work more flexibly—your principal still generates returns, but you also gain the right to use this capital. This model truly solves a practical liquidity dilemma for users who need multi-chain asset allocation.
