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.

Frax Ether is a liquid staking protocol that lets users stake Ether and receive frxETH, a liquid token pegged to Ether. Holders can use frxETH across decentralized finance or stake it into a vault token that accrues validator rewards, separating liquidity from yield. A lending pool lets validator operators borrow staked Ether to run additional validators, with a redemption queue for converting back to Ether.

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.

ETH0 is a synthetic asset issuance system that mints an ETH-pegged token fully collateralized by wrapped staked ether. Users mint and redeem on-chain at any time, keeping one-to-one ether exposure while the token stays usable across lending, liquidity, and yield protocols. Staking yield from the collateral is redirected to holders as governance token rewards instead of accruing in ether.

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.

Origin Ether is a liquid staking token that represents staked ether while remaining freely transferable and usable across decentralized finance. It automatically compounds Ethereum staking rewards directly in holders' wallets, backed one-to-one by ether and redeemable on demand without lockups. Validator balances are verified onchain against Ethereum's consensus layer through cryptographic proofs, and the token is designed for users seeking staking yield with liquidity and DeFi composability.

Super OETH is a liquid staking token that combines Ethereum staking rewards with chain-specific incentive yield for use across decentralized finance. It auto-compounds returns directly in holders' wallets while remaining fully collateralized and redeemable one-to-one for ether, with a Pool Booster mechanism directing extra incentive rewards into onchain liquidity pools. Deep liquidity pools support low-slippage exits, making it suited for users seeking amplified staking yield without giving up liquidity.

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.

Noon Protocol is a stablecoin platform that issues USN, a dollar-pegged token backed by delta-neutral trading strategies, and its staked counterpart sUSN. Users mint and redeem USN against supported collateral assets, then stake it into sUSN to accrue yield generated from the protocol's hedged deployment strategies. The platform also provides a token bridge for moving USN and sUSN across supported blockchains, an integrated swap function, and a rewards programme that incentivizes participation. Holders of the governance token can stake and vote to influence protocol parameters and treasury decisions. The product is accessed through a single web application covering issuance, staking, bridging, swapping, and governance.

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.

tAssets is a liquid staking product that issues yield-bearing tokens against deposited native tokens or existing liquid staking tokens. It earns base staking rewards plus Market Efficiency Yield from interest rate arbitrage, by supplying collateral to lending markets and borrowing native tokens for restaking. tAssets stay liquid and composable across DeFi for collateral, liquidity provision, and delegation to DOR panelists.

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.

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.

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.
