Liquid Staking

Learn about ListaDAO and its earning opportunities for cryptocurrency loans and liquidity.

This article explores how the Layer3 platform disrupts market conventions through its cross-chain identity and innovative distribution protocol. By leveraging a pioneering tokenomics model, Layer3 aims to bring about a fair token distribution and a future flywheel effect within the ecosystem, effectively capturing the market potential of attention monetization.

Sanctum employs a multi-token system to support and enhance its ecosystem. Its goal is to empower individuals to launch and trade millions of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) within the Solana ecosystem. To ensure the genuine liquidity of these LSTs, a mechanism is imperative. Sanctum introduces the Infinity Pool, a multi-LST liquidity pool that facilitates the exchange between all LSTs within the pool. Users can become liquidity providers by depositing any whitelisted LST into the pool and receive $INF tokens. These $INF tokens can accumulate staking rewards, benefit from trading fees within the pool, and be directly used in DeFi protocols.

As the first universal security network built on Bitcoin re-staking, Pell Network aims to leverage Bitcoin's robust security foundation for all AVS, becoming a powerful booster for BTCFi prosperity. This article explores the project's development prospects, the importance and necessity of AVS sharing Bitcoin's strong security foundation, and the operational logic of the project. The solution is not limited to building a specific product but rather establishes a decentralized, trust-free market. On one hand, it offers diverse staking options and re-staking mechanisms to enhance Bitcoin's network's economic and security benefits; on the other hand, it supports the creation of lightweight and large-scale decentralized components, providing cost-effective solutions for the infrastructure and application security of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Solayer, a restaking protocol within the Solana ecosystem, leverages decentralized cloud infrastructure to provide users with restaking opportunities to earn returns. Through Endogenous AVS, it offers Solana DApps greater block space and priority transaction possibilities.

Pell Network's vision is to build a decentralized free market of trust, which enhances the economic and security utility of the Bitcoin network through diversified equity selection and re-staking mechanisms. Stakeholders can operate nodes directly or delegate to other node operators, provide security verification services and earn additional income, thereby maximizing capital efficiency for BTC holders. This article analyzes Pell Network's commitment to promoting the development of BTC re-staking and providing safer and more efficient solutions for the decentralized financial ecosystem, as well as its technical architecture, application scenarios and platform ecology to analyze this cutting-edge protocol and help users gain in-depth understanding. Learn about the latest developments in the Bitcoin re-staking ecosystem.

Pencils Protocol is a comprehensive application platform in the Scroll ecosystem, formerly known as PenPad. It offers features like LaunchPad, Staking, Vault, and Shop, providing auction and yield aggregation services for blockchain-native and real-world assets. The platform introduces a Pencil points incentive mechanism, which users can earn through staking and participating in marketing activities. Backed by several prominent investors, Pencils Protocol aims to become Scroll's native gateway, redefining the L2 space using zero-knowledge technology and promoting the development of the Scroll ecosystem.

This article first introduces the functioning and risks of re-staking, mentioning Mellow Finance's new solution. It analyzes the strategic collaboration between the two and its impact on Lido. Finally, it summarizes the current market situation and offers future prospects.

AVS stands for Active Validation Services, a term that essentially describes any network requiring its own validation system (e.g., oracles, DA, cross-chain bridges, etc.), which can be understood as projects using restaking services. By comparing Eigenlayer, Symbioticfi, and Karak Network, we can see more mature solutions and development potential, illustrating how AVS and restaking technologies eliminate the burden of building underlying trust networks, allowing projects to focus on developing new features and better decentralization.

ETH holders have staked over $111 billion worth of ETH, accounting for 28% of the total supply. The amount of staked ETH is also referred to as Ethereum's "security budget" because stakers could face network penalties for double-spending attacks and other violations of protocol rules. In return for maintaining Ethereum's security, stakers earn rewards through protocol issuance, priority fees, and maximum extractable value. Users can easily stake ETH through liquid staking pools without sacrificing asset liquidity, leading to a higher demand for staking than Ethereum developers anticipated. This article will outline the staking situation on Ethereum, including the types of stakers, risks and rewards associated with staking, and predictions for staking rates. It will also provide insights into proposals by developers to adjust network issuance in response to high staking demand.

This article delves into the functionalities, operational mechanisms, team background, investment institutions, and core economic mechanisms of Bifrost Native Coin (BNC). As the heart of the Bifrost protocol, BNC stands out with its unique economic model and technical architecture, effectively addressing liquidity and security concerns within PoS systems. By employing an intermediary abstraction layer, parallel chain structure, and cross-chain interaction modules, Bifrost delivers a robust liquidity solution for staking assets across multiple PoS public blockchains. Moreover, BNC's diverse use cases and economic mechanism design ensure the system's long-term stability and ecological development.

Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism limits holders from earning yields directly through staking, despite Bitcoin's dominant position in market value. A significant amount of Bitcoin remains underutilized. Through the Master Protocol, users can stake Bitcoin on various Layer 2 solutions and receive LST as their staking certificate. This allows users to reinvest their LST in multiple scenarios without compromising liquidity, ensuring returns. By adopting the re-staking protocol, users can further stake LST to earn LRT, enhancing their investment capabilities and asset liquidity.

Symbiotic is a shared security protocol that acts as a coordination layer, enabling network builders to control and adjust their (re)staking strategies in a permissionless manner. Considering the current re-staking protocol EigenLayer supports only ETH and some ETH derivative staking, while Symbiotic supports staking of any asset following the ERC-20 token standard, the two may become direct competitors.

Symbiotic and Eigenlayer are two emerging protocols in the restaking field, but their design philosophies are vastly different. Symbiotic emphasizes permissionless and modular features, supports multi-asset and customizable parameters, and uses immutable core contracts, reducing governance risks. Eigenlayer, on the other hand, focuses on ETH and its derivatives, adopts a more centralized management approach, simplifying operations but presenting bundled risks. The launch of Symbiotic and its collaboration with the Mellow protocol offer more options and airdrop opportunities for the DeFi community. The competition and cooperation between the two will further drive the development of the restaking market.

This article introduces the decentralized social network application Farcaster, highlighting its architecture built on Ethereum and Optimism, aimed at achieving digital sovereignty and user ownership.
