pSTAKE is a liquid staking protocol designed for PoS technology, primarily to enhance the convenience and security of token staking. Users can earn staking rewards while participating in DeFi activities. The protocol is developed by the Persistence One team. Persistence is a Tendermint consensus-based L1 blockchain focused on unlocking the liquidity of staked assets. Recently, the team announced the expansion of liquid staking services on Solana and launched an incentive program, attracting significant funds and users.

This article introduces pSTAKE Finance's Bitcoin liquid staking solution. pSTAKE Finance is a multi-chain liquid staking protocol, recently focusing on Bitcoin yield and liquid staking. It collaborates with Babylon to transmit Bitcoin's security effects to other chains through a remote staking mechanism, achieving Bitcoin liquid staking. Users can stake Bitcoin and receive liquidity tokens (yBTC), retaining asset liquidity while earning yields. This innovative solution offers a win-win situation for Bitcoin holders and is poised to become a significant driver of the BTCfi wave. pSTAKE Finance has advantages in security, user experience, and product mechanism design but still faces challenges in expanding application scenarios and customer acquisition competition.

Persistence One ($XPRT) stands out as one of the pioneering application chains in the Cosmos ecosystem with its early adoption of IBC, CosmWasm, and the Liquidity Staking Module (LSM). It has crafted a sophisticated framework for liquidity staking and re-staking by focusing on POS systems and liquidity staking products, thereby enhancing the architecture of the Cosmos ecosystem. The ecosystem around Persistence boasts a high total value locked (TVL) and substantial IBC transaction volumes, with a majority of its tokens staked, showcasing the network’s robust security and engagement. Its flagship product, pSTAKE, streamlines the staking process within the Cosmos ecosystem, offering features like automatic re-investment of rewards and quick access to unstaked assets. Additionally, Persistence bolsters the Cosmos ecosystem’s security and decentralization through its re-staking module and alliance, creating an economic coalition for those who re-stake.

This article delves into the growth of liquid staking in the DeFi space and how Babylon Chain enhances PoS network security by allowing Bitcoin holders to stake their assets and earn rewards. It also analyzes Bitcoin's dominance in the cryptocurrency market and discusses Babylon Chain's infrastructure and potential growth prospects.

Persistence is a liquid staking hub that allows you to stake your PoS tokens and use them. Discover how it enables liquid staking for multiple PoS chains.

This article provides a detailed introduction to relatively important projects in the Cosmos ecosystem.

This article introduces the Stride project and why it has quickly risen to become the first staking protocol in the Cosmos ecosystem.

The Bitcoin restaking sector is rapidly evolving, aiming to enhance Bitcoin's liquidity and capital efficiency. Projects like Babylon, Chakra, Lombard, Lorenzo, and Solv Protocol have introduced innovative staking mechanisms that allow users to earn additional yields while maintaining asset security. These protocols employ various technical approaches, such as on-chain self-custody, centralized custody, and MPC cross-chain bridges, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. With the launch of Babylon's mainnet, market interest in re-staking has significantly increased, and BTCFi is projected to become a hundred-billion-dollar market in the future. However, this field still faces challenges related to technical complexity and security.

The current on-chain user experience (UX) is very poor. Crypto researcher DeFi Investor wrote an article introducing three new on-chain UX solutions worth paying attention to, including Coinbase Smart Wallet, Solana Smart Wallet Fuse, and Infinex.

Similar to the traditional liquidity token schemes for ETH, BTC liquidity staking aims to function like a savings account for Bitcoin, allowing users to deposit and withdraw at any time while earning interest. Additionally, the liquidity staking tokens can be used to earn returns in other DeFi projects (e.g., providing liquidity, lending, etc.). Staking on Babylon can be compared to a fixed-term deposit, offering higher returns but with less flexibility for withdrawals.

The complexity of blockchain underlying technologies is increasing, and the issue of cross-chain liquidity needs to be addressed urgently. Firstly, there are numerous proof-of-stake (PoS) public chains in Layer 1 (L1), and new competitors are expected to continue emerging. Secondly, the development of Layer 2 and the introduction of modular blockchains make multi-layered blockchains more feasible. In the future, we might even see the appearance of Layers 3 and 4. In this context, multi-chain liquid staking becomes an important issue worth attention.

Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism limits holders from earning yields directly through staking, despite Bitcoin's dominant position in market value. A significant amount of Bitcoin remains underutilized. Through the Master Protocol, users can stake Bitcoin on various Layer 2 solutions and receive LST as their staking certificate. This allows users to reinvest their LST in multiple scenarios without compromising liquidity, ensuring returns. By adopting the re-staking protocol, users can further stake LST to earn LRT, enhancing their investment capabilities and asset liquidity.

This article explores the ongoing innovation and competition within the re-staking ecosystem, suggesting that the ecosystem may undergo significant changes in the coming years, revealing more innovations and opportunities.

Attracting over 10,000 participants to stake 1,000 BTC within just three hours, will Babylon ignite a BTCFi Summer? This article will analyze the workings of Babylon, its core technologies, its ecosystem landscape, and the challenges it faces.

Stride is a liquid staking protocol operating in the Cosmos ecosystem, which is built on the Tendermint consensus mechanism. Utilizing the Cosmos SDK, Stride leverages features such as Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) and inter-chain queries, enabling it to facilitate liquid staking across multiple chains.
