List of Liquid Staking projects on Ethereum (2026)

mETH Protocol is a permissionless liquid staking and restaking protocol where users stake ETH to mint mETH and can restake via cmETH across supported protocols.

Plume ETH is a native ETH liquid staking token on Plume that stakes ETH on Ethereum, bridges the LST, and streams staking rewards to the user’s wallet for use across Plume DeFi.

Dinero provides liquid staking through a two-token system enabling users to stake ETH, SOL, and BTC while maintaining liquidity. The protocol issues liquid staking tokens (pxETH, pxSOL, pxBTC) and corresponding auto-compounding vault tokens (apxETH, apxSOL) that aggregate staking rewards across all deposited assets. The system integrates EigenCloud restaking for additional yield and maintains institutional-grade compliance standards for accredited investors.

Non-custodial liquid staking that lets users stake assets on multiple chains and receive yield-bearing tokens.

Relay Vaults is a liquidity provisioning product consisting of yield-bearing pools that supply capital for cross-chain settlement. Each vault is deployed on a specific network for a specific asset and follows the ERC4626 vault standard, depositing idle funds into an underlying lending protocol to generate base yield. Solvers draw on vault liquidity to instantly rebalance capital across chains, which speeds up withdrawals and lowers fees, and depositors earn additional yield streamed over time from solver activity.

ether.fi Stake is a decentralized liquid staking and restaking protocol for users seeking yield on ETH, BTC, and stablecoins. Users deposit assets into a non-custodial liquidity pool that operates validators and restakes pooled ETH through EigenLayer, receiving value-accruing tokens such as weETH, eBTC, and eUSD in return. These tokens remain liquid and composable, allowing holders to use them as collateral or trading assets across hundreds of other DeFi protocols while still earning staking and restaking rewards.

Solv Staking Platform is a liquid staking platform implementing the Staking Abstraction Layer for Bitcoin, enabling holders to stake BTC and receive liquid SolvBTC tokens. The system supports multiple yield strategies while maintaining proof-of-reserve transparency and cross-chain interoperability through integrations with Chainlink CCIP.

StaFi rToken App is a multi-chain liquid staking protocol where users stake PoS tokens and receive rTokens — synthetic derivatives representing staked assets that accrue staking rewards over time. The protocol supports multiple assets and other PoS assets across EVM, Cosmos, Polkadot, and Solana ecosystems. Stakers retain access to their positions through tradable rTokens, which can be used in DeFi liquidity pools while the underlying assets remain staked.

Zircuit Liquidity Hub is a liquid staking infrastructure with multi-asset support, enabling users to stake ETH, LSTs, and LRTs while maintaining liquidity. The platform provides staking rewards, restaking capabilities, and project airdrop participation.

Gemini Staking is a staking service that lets users earn rewards on supported cryptocurrencies without running validator infrastructure themselves. Gemini manages staking operations and reward distribution, crediting rewards directly to user accounts. The service supports assets across multiple proof-of-stake networks and requires no minimum balance.

Guarda Staking provides proof-of-stake validation services across multiple blockchain networks, enabling users to earn rewards while maintaining asset custody. The system supports validator delegation and automated reward distribution.

yLockers convert locked governance tokens into liquid, tradable derivatives based on vote escrow mechanics. The system maintains governance rights and yield benefits while enabling token liquidity through tokenized escrowed positions that users can trade without sacrificing voting power.

Bifrost is a liquid staking protocol that converts PoS assets into yield-bearing vTokens through an automated staking mechanism, allowing users to earn staking rewards while remaining liquid. Users can stake assets including DOT, ETH, KSM, and FIL to mint corresponding vTokens, with the protocol handling staking operations across supported chains. An integrated LST stable swap allows users to trade vTokens for their underlying assets without waiting for the unstaking period.

Upbit Staking provides yield generation services for proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies through delegated validation. The platform automates reward distribution while maintaining asset custody and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Bitstamp Earn is a cryptocurrency earning platform offered by Bitstamp that allows users to generate passive income from their digital assets through cryptostaking.

Remitano Liquidity enables users to provide capital to trading pools and earn passive income through yield generation, supporting market depth and earning rewards from trading fees.

A liquid staking solution for Bitcoin that integrates with the Babylon protocol, enabling users to stake BTC and receive liquid staking tokens while earning rewards. The system allows users to maintain liquidity through minted alloBTC tokens while participating in Bitcoin-backed security for proof-of-stake networks.

A wrapped Bitcoin platform that maintains 1:1 BTC backing through Zenrock's decentralized multi-party computation infrastructure, enabling cross-chain transfers and yield generation while keeping Bitcoin on its native blockchain.

OPUS Pool implements non-custodial Ethereum staking infrastructure enabling users to stake any ETH amount, mint osETH liquid staking tokens, and restake with EigenLayer or Symbiotic protocols. The system integrates StakeWise V3 vault architecture with Adagio MEV-Boost client optimization, offering 5% commission fees and automated reward compounding through validator operations.

tAssets is a liquid staking protocol issuing yield-bearing tokens (tETH, tAVAX) through automated interest rate arbitrage strategies. Users deposit native tokens or existing liquid staking tokens to receive tAssets, which earn base Proof-of-Stake rewards plus Market Efficiency Yield by supplying LSTs as collateral to lending markets and borrowing native tokens for restaking. tAssets remain liquid and composable across DeFi for collateral use, liquidity provision, and DOR delegation.

Lido's flagship product, providing liquid staking for ETH with the stETH token that automatically accrues staking rewards while remaining usable in DeFi.

A liquid restaking platform offering automated strategies for ETH restaking on EigenLayer and Symbiotic.

Nest Protocol deploys liquid staking infrastructure through BoringVault architecture, enabling vault-based exposure to tokenized real-world assets. The system processes stablecoin deposits across multiple vault strategies, generating yield-bearing vault tokens that maintain DeFi composability across the Plume ecosystem.

Cables provides liquid staking infrastructure for real-world assets through yield-bearing tokens backed by currencies and commodities. The platform enables minting of tokens like cEUR, cJPY, and cXAU through FX-hedged positions, with planned perpetual futures trading functionality for leveraged positions across global markets.

A liquid restaking primitive that allows for permissionless creation of modular LRTs (Liquid Restaking Tokens). It offers a series of vault smart contracts tailored to different risk profiles, managed by LRT curators.

Mellow ALM (Automatic Liquidity Management) focuses on creating tools that increase DeFi ecosystem efficiency. The key focus is developing an active liquidity management system called Mellow Permissionless Vaults.
