Liquid Staking
Why is 1 sSTRK not 1 STRK?
sSTRK represents a share of the total pool of staked STRK. The staked STRK earns yield over time in the form of more STRK, so the amount of STRK in the pool grows relative to the amount of sSTRK outstanding. As this happens, each sSTRK token represents more STRK in the pool. This means that holding sSTRK gives users access to both their initial staked STRK and their share of the new STRK earned as yield. This ratio never resets to 1:1, so the value of sSTRK relative to STRK grows continuously over time.
What are Liquid Staked Tokens (LSTs)?
Liquid Staked Tokens (LSTs) represent ownership of staked assets, typically cryptocurrencies like STRK. LSTs let users earn staking rewards while keeping their tokens liquid—meaning they can still use these tokens across the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
How sSTRK earns yield
sSTRK earns yield because it represents a share of the protocol's pool of staked STRK. When STRK is staked with validators on the Starknet Mainnet, the staking rewards earned are added back to this pool. As the pool grows relative to the total supply of sSTRK, the value of each sSTRK increases. Additionally, sSTRK can be used in DeFi to earn extra yield beyond the staking rewards.
