What Is StakeStone?
StakeStone is a decentralized liquidity infrastructure protocol that supports various blockchain networks (omnichain). Its purpose is to simplify and expand how liquidity (easily usable assets) is managed and utilized in the DeFi world (decentralized finance).
StakeStone offers several main products:
- STONE: Liquid ETH that generates yield.
- SBTC and STONEBTC: Liquid and productive BTC versions.
- LiquidityPad: A platform for launching customizable vaults (liquidity safes) for new networks.
This protocol was created to address major problems in DeFi, such as:
- Liquidity spread across multiple networks.
- Low capital efficiency.
- The difficulty of interoperability across chains.
With an adaptive staking architecture, omnichain token standards, and cross-network integration (including Ethereum and others), StakeStone aims to be the backbone of cross-network liquidity.

Why is StakeStone Important?
StakeStone solves a major problem in DeFi: liquidity fragmentation. In a volatile market, liquidity is everything. StakeStone provides real, active, and scalable cross-chain liquidity. That's why many top protocols choose StakeStone as their liquidity partner.
For example: In Berachain, StakeStone contributes:
- Over $500 million TVL and 300,000 users.
- $200 million in active liquidity.
- Integration with protocols like Morpho and Pendle to maximize user yields.
Business Model & Benefits for Users
StakeStone generates revenue from:
- Withdrawal fees: Charged when users withdraw assets from the vault.
- Bribe system: Protocols pay to attract liquidity to their projects, with some tokens burned to reduce supply.
- Treasury growth: Managing assets like ETH, BTC, and partner tokens.
- Swap & Burn: Token holders can exchange STO for treasury assets, while also reducing the STO supply.
Token $STO – Function & Benefits
$STO is the utility and governance token in the StakeStone ecosystem. STO owners can:
- Directing the protocol's direction through a voting system (veSTO).
- Earning higher yields and a share of token emissions.
- Accessing the treasury through a swap & burn system.
- Forming the future of StakeStone collectively.
With long-term incentives such as token burning, real yields from protocol activities, and community engagement, StakeStone aims to create a more stable, efficient, and sustainable DeFi ecosystem.
