Since Jan 2021, the locked value in staking has seen over 3X growth from $30B USD to $108B USD. Thanks to the growing popularity of staking, there are more options for users to earn passive income with their crypto assets.

But, the biggest challenge with staking is the opportunity loss and the unbonding period — the time for which the assets are locked.

ClayStack — A decentralized liquid staking solution

Liquid staking is transforming the staking landscape. It fundamentally helps unlock the liquidity of the staked assets through staking derivatives while earning staking rewards.

ClayStack takes a novel approach towards liquid staking, allowing you to mint synthetic tokens in the most decentralized way. Our platform constitutes of three major components:

  1. Liquid staking protocol: To issue synthetic tokens against original assets.
  2. Blockchain agnostic bridge: To bring synthetic tokens to the multi-chain ecosystem.
  3. Decentralized oracle: To make information transfer possible between different blockchains.

You can deposit supported tokens on ClayStack smart contract and receive a fungible and transferable synthetic token, that is 1:1 pegged against your original asset. Every day you will receive synthetic tokens as staking rewards — without any lockups.

Hence, allowing you to participate in the rich DeFi ecosystem while earning continuous staking rewards. Why pick one when you can have the best of both worlds?
