Liquid Staking

Liquid staking allows users to unlock liquidity from their staked assets, a practice prevalent in PoS networks and DeFi ecosystems. By staking ETH in liquid staking dApps or obtaining Liquid Staking Tokens (LST), investors can leverage the assets for further investment opportunities, enhancing both asset utilization and potential returns in a streamlined manner.

The Native Liquid Staking Mechanism for Independent Ethereum Validators

The SOLO protocol addresses the high participation barriers and liquidity constraints faced by Ethereum independent validators. By supporting the minting of permissionless liquid staking tokens (LSTs), SOLO lowers the entry cost for independent validators to just 1.25 ETH. It allows them to borrow to stake their otherwise illiquid portion effectively. This article details the SOLO protocol’s mechanisms, including minting and burning processes, liquidation and forfeiture handling, funding rate settings, and anti-centralization mechanisms to prevent large validators from gaining excessive control over Ethereum.

Overview and Trend Outlook for Multi-Chain Liquid Staking Development

The complexity of blockchain underlying technologies is increasing, and the issue of cross-chain liquidity needs to be addressed urgently. Firstly, there are numerous proof-of-stake (PoS) public chains in Layer 1 (L1), and new competitors are expected to continue emerging. Secondly, the development of Layer 2 and the introduction of modular blockchains make multi-layered blockchains more feasible. In the future, we might even see the appearance of Layers 3 and 4. In this context, multi-chain liquid staking becomes an important issue worth attention.
