Best Liquid Staking Rates

Liquid staking is a process by which crypto users can stake their crypto assets without losing access to the value (liquidity) of these assets. When a user liquid stakes, they trade their crypto asset for a token that represents that asset while also accruing the “yield” their original asset will now be generating via proof-of-stake.

The most popular tokens for liquid staking are Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano. The most popular liquid staking tokens are Lido stETH, Frax frxETH, and Rocket Pool rETH. If you would like to swap for these tokens, you can do so by using our De.Fi crypto swap feature.

Liquid staking represents a variation on the security method known as proof-of-stake. In a proof-of-stake blockchain, users lock crypto assets by “staking” them in a smart contract. These locked assets are then used as collateral to ensure that they perform validation duties in alignment with the rules of a particular blockchain’s network consensus process.

Liquid staking projects allow users to participate in proof-of-stake while still maintaining access to their crypto assets. You deposit your tokens into a specialized platform or protocol. In return, you receive a wrapped or liquid version of the token that represents your staked assets.

The wrapped token serves as a tradable and transferable asset that can be freely traded on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or utilized in other decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. While you hold the wrapped tokens, you continue to benefit from the staking rewards generated by your original staked assets.

The liquid staking platform distributes staking rewards proportionally to the holders of the wrapped tokens. These rewards can be in the form of additional tokens or fees generated by the staked assets. It allows you to enjoy the benefits of staking while maintaining the flexibility and liquidity of your tokens.

Note, users should be aware that there is some risk involved in liquid staking in that the wrapped token may not always be liquid or redeemable 1:1 with the "real" token (the staked asset). Users are dependent on the management capabilities of the liquid staking token provider to ensure that the peg is maintained.

If you are looking to find new yield farm opportunities, we recommend sorting the Explore farming tool by APR. New protocols are usually the best place to find high liquid staking APYs as they are looking to attract liquidity to boost their TVL. However, please note that we recommend doing your own research on ALL yield farms that you interact with. The newer the protocol, the higher the risk that there may be an unknown vulnerability.
