Stake Your Assets

Deposit your crypto into a liquid staking protocol that handles validator operations.

2

Receive Liquid Tokens

Get derivative tokens (like stETH or stSOL) representing your staked position.

3

Use Freely

Trade, lend, or use your liquid tokens in DeFi while earning staking rewards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reputable liquid staking protocols undergo rigorous smart contract audits and implement security measures like multi-sig wallets and insurance funds. However, risks include smart contract vulnerabilities, validator slashing, and potential de-pegging of liquid tokens. Always research the specific protocol's security measures.

Rewards are automatically compounded into the value of your liquid staking tokens. For example, if you hold 1 stETH today, it will gradually increase in ETH value over time as staking rewards are added to the protocol's total assets. Some protocols also offer token airdrops or additional incentives.

Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction. Generally, staking rewards are taxable income when received. With liquid staking, you may also trigger taxable events when swapping between the native asset and liquid token. Some jurisdictions offer more favorable tax treatment for staking rewards. Consult a crypto tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

While designed to maintain 1:1 redemption, liquid tokens can temporarily trade at a premium or discount to the underlying asset, especially during market volatility. Reputable protocols implement mechanisms like arbitrage opportunities and liquidity pools to maintain the peg. Historical data shows major liquid tokens like stETH have maintained their peg effectively.
