Liquid Staking: Unlocking Liquidity in DeFi
Liquid Staking is a key innovation in the world of decentralized finance ($DeFi), offering a solution to one of staking's biggest trade-offs: the loss of liquidity. Traditionally, when you stake your crypto, your assets are locked up and cannot be used for other activities. Liquid staking protocols change this by giving you a liquid staking token ($LST) in return for your staked assets. This token represents your staked position and can be used in other $DeFi protocols, allowing you to earn staking rewards while also putting your assets to work in other ways, such as lending or providing liquidity on a decentralized exchange.
