What is StakeStone?

StakeStone
StakeStone

StakeStone is an Omnichain Liquid Staking protocol that provides staking and restaking solutions for Layer 2. The project allows users to stake ETH to receive the derivative token STONE – a non-rebase token with high compatibility with the DeFi ecosystem and other blockchains through LayerZero technology. This is a prominent project in the LSDFi (Liquid Staking Derivatives Finance) field, which has just received investment from Binance Labs.

How does StakeStone work?

StakeStone Operating Model
StakeStone Operating Model

StakeStone operates through 4 main components:

  • StakeStone Vault: Temporarily stores ETH before allocating to staking strategies.
  • Minter: Manages the independent minting/burning of STONE tokens from the underlying assets.
  • Strategy Pool: Allocates ETH to staking and restaking protocols to optimize profits.
  • OPAP (Optimizing Portfolio and Allocation Proposal): An on-chain mechanism that allows the community to propose and vote on new profit strategies, optimizing asset allocation.

StakeStone's Products

1. STONE Token

  • Non-rebase Token: STONE does not increase in quantity in the wallet but increases in value over time (similar to Lido's wstETH).
  • Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT): Thanks to LayerZero, STONE can smoothly transfer between blockchains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, Linea, Base, Mantle…

2. STONE-Fi

STONE Fi

An ecosystem connecting STONE with DeFi platforms such as DEX, lending protocol, derivatives, stablecoin, GameFi… Users can provide liquidity and earn profits by participating in pools like STONE/WETH on QuickSwap.

3. Liquidity Pad StakeStone

  • Provide liquidity and earn fees on Uniswap, Curve…
  • Use as collateral for borrowing on Aave, Morpho
  • Optimize profits through Pendle strategies
  • Receive airdrops, governance rights, and benefits from partners

LiquidityPad helps projects access flexible capital while expanding STONE's applications in DeFi.

Highlights of StakeStone

  • High Liquidation: Flexible design allows users to unstake on demand or instantly with reasonable fees.
  • Omnichain: STONE can be used across multiple chains without wrapping.
