What liquid staking actually does
Liquid staking lets you stake a proof-of-stake asset to help secure the network and earn rewards, while holding a tradeable receipt token that stays usable elsewhere in DeFi — instead of locking the original asset with no liquidity. Rising TVL tends to track staking yield relative to other options.
What to watch
- The receipt token’s peg to the underlying asset — small discounts can appear during periods of stress.
- How decentralized the validator set actually is, since concentration adds risk.
- Staking yields float and the underlying asset’s price risk is unchanged — this isn’t a fixed-return product.
