Liquid staking involves the locking up of staked tokens in exchange for tokenised versions that holders can then use across decentralised finance, including as collateral at lending platforms, margin trading or yield generation.
The DeFi platform’s new product will allow exposure to a single token offering to multiple LSDs. According to the team, yETH gives investors an opportunity to spread their risk even as they look to boost their yield.
