Liquid staking lets you stake assets and receive a tradable token representing the staked position.
Liquid staking tokens keep capital productive in DeFi while earning staking yield.
In research workflows, Liquid staking is usually interpreted with Lido, Staking, DeFi, and Depeg rather than as a standalone signal. Smart-contract, oracle, and governance risks are part of the product. Yield without understanding the mechanism is usually underpriced risk.
