# Velix

> Stake your native token, Earn rewards.

Velix helps users earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity by providing liquid staking derivatives across multiple blockchains.

Velix helps DeFi users earn staking rewards on multiple blockchain networks by providing liquid staking derivatives. With it, you can stake native tokens to receive liquid derivatives, continue participating in DeFi activities, and earn additional rewards through VePoints. Velix reduces liquidity fragmentation in the blockchain ecosystem while maintaining no lock-up periods.

## Products

- [Velix Liquid Staking](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velix_io): Velix Liquid Staking implements node staking through liquid staking derivatives, enabling users to stake native tokens while maintaining liquidity. The system captures MEV profits and provides auto-compounding rewards while allowing simultaneous DeFi participation. (Liquid Staking, Discontinued, Main Product)

## Assets

- [veSTRK (veSTRK)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velix_io): veSTRK is a liquid staking token representing staked STRK on the Starknet network, issued by Velix Liquid Staking. It is used to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity for use in DeFi protocols across Starknet. Holders receive their proportional share of STRK staking rewards without locking their capital, allowing them to deploy veSTRK as collateral or in yield strategies while their underlying STRK secures the network. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs))
- [VELIX (VELIX)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velix_io): VELIX is the governance token of Velix Protocol, enabling holders to vote on protocol decisions and future direction. It is used to participate in community governance for the liquid staking platform operating across Starknet and Metis networks. The protocol allows users to stake native tokens and receive liquid staking derivatives while maintaining liquidity, with VELIX holders directing the protocol's development through decentralized governance. (Utility)
- [VePoints](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velix_io): VePoints is the loyalty reward system of Velix Liquid Staking. It is earned by users who stake tokens, provide liquidity, and refer others to the protocol. Points accumulate to unlock boosted staking yields and governance benefits, incentivizing long-term participation in the Velix ecosystem across multiple blockchain networks. (Digital Reward Assets)
- [veMetis (veMetis)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/velix_io): veMetis is a liquid staking token representing staked METIS on the Velix protocol. It is used to earn staking rewards from Metis decentralized sequencer nodes while maintaining liquidity for use in DeFi applications. Holders receive a portion of sequencer node revenue when Velix is paired with an approved node, allowing veMetis to generate yield from both staking rewards and network transaction fees.
