🌊 BENQI Liquid Staking Lets You Earn While Staying Liquid
🌊 Stake without the lock
BENQI introduces liquid staking on Avalanche, converting staked AVAX into sAVAX tokens that maintain liquidity while earning rewards.
How it works:
- Stake AVAX and receive sAVAX in return
- BENQI routes assets to Avalanche validator nodes on the P-Chain automatically
- Uses secure MPC encryption for bridging between C-Chain and P-Chain
- Users stay on C-Chain and can use sAVAX immediately across DeFi
Key benefits:
- No lock-up periods or fees
- Earn staking rewards without sacrificing liquidity
- Use sAVAX in AMMs, lending protocols, or liquidity pools
