Liquid Staking Explained
🔄 Staking Without The Lock
Liquid Staking is revolutionizing how users interact with staked assets. Instead of having tokens locked during staking, users receive liquid staking tokens at a 1:1 ratio.
Key benefits:
- Maintain network security through staking
- Access liquid tokens immediately
- Use staked assets in DeFi protocols
- Earn additional yields
Examples include ankrMATIC and ankrETH, which can be traded or used in DeFi while the original assets remain staked.
