What is Liquid Staking?

Liquid staking is the process of staking native tokens eg. ETH on the related POS network eg. Ethereum to earn staking rewards through a liquid staking protocol eg. Lido without having to tweak users’ own hardware and to comply with Ethereum’s 32 ETH staking minimum. Once their native tokens staked, investors then receive, from the liquid staking protocol, Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) with which they could get back their staked assets through either unstaking or selling them on the secondary markets.

What is Liquid Staking Token (LST)?

Liquid staking tokens (LST) are tokens issued by a liquid staking protocol. Aside from facilitating stakers’ staking position exit through either selling or unstaking, LSTs also allow users to retain the benefits (annual return/APR) of natively staking their assets while still being able to participate in the broader DeFi ecosystem with their LST.

What is Leveraged Staking?

Leveraged staking is a delta-neutral strategy that amplifies liquid staking yield using the LST in tandem with lending protocols. Effectively, the stETH strategy converts users’ ETH to (w)stETH, supplying them as collateral to a leading lending protocol e.g. AAVE, and repeatedly repeats this process with the ETH that is borrowed against the supplied wstETH. This way, users are able to safely capture the difference between the positive return of LST and the borrowing cost of ETH, multiplied up to 6.5 times.

How is CIAN’s wstETH/stETH Leverage Staking/Recursive Strategy vault different?

The wstETH/stETH/ETH leveraged staking strategy allows users to amplify wstETH/stETH staking rewards in a fully automated and secure way. Most notably, CIAN is renowned for their advanced automation tools that drastically reduce the liquidation risks while enabling for some automatic position readjustments.

CIAN has been chosen by multiple large institutional entities for their spotless track record; No liquidation since inception.

While every financial strategies come with intrinsic risks, by combining one of the safest DeFi wallet (OKX wallet) to the largest LST (stETH), automatically leveraged on the #1 lending platform (AAVE) with a set of additional protection layers provided by CIAN, users can now safely maximize their capital efficiency without having to deal with all the operational complexities.
