pSTAKE Finance brings liquid staking and a new airdrop to the Cosmos ecosystem
Similar to Lido and Anchor Protocol, pSTAKE brings liquid staking to the Cosmos ecosystem and allows ATOM and XPRT holders to integrate with DeFi on a deeper level. One of the most significant transitions to occur for the cryptocurrency ecosystem since the launch of Bitcoin (BTC) has been the increasing dominance of proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols over the proof-of-work (PoW) model, primarily due to energy requirements of the PoW model and growing concern over its environmental impact. As more projects launch or transition to the PoS model, a new class of protocols have emerged that are....

Across the proof-of-stake (PoS) industry, a vast number of users and protocols have been long reaping the benefits of the PoS consensus mechanism. It is not only an easy and practical way to secure blockchain networks but also a fool-proof way for users to earn high APYs in exchange for their participation via staking. However, the fact that staked assets remain locked for extended periods of time, limits their usability and deters many users from staking altogether. This is precisely why liquid staking as a means of unlocking liquidity of staked assets is being explored within DeFi, and....
Twelve venture capital firms and three angel investors have joined in to fund the DeFi protocol. On Tuesday, pSTAKE, a liquid staking protocol from decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Persistence, announced in a statement provided to Cointelegraph that it had closed a $10 million strategic funding round from venture capital firms. Tendermint, the core developer behind the Cosmos network, powers Persistence blockchain with its consensus engine.Liquid staking is the practice of users “double-dipping” with their crypto assets — i.e., allowing them to stake their crypto in one pool and use....

Ethereum liquid staking platforms are making waves in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Recent on-chain reports have revealed that liquid staking protocols have recorded a new milestone in the number of Ether (ETH) staked, reaching a staggering 12 million ETH mark in just a few days. Ethereum Liquid Staking Gains Momentum With Ethereum 2.0 thriving, liquid staking protocols in the DeFi ecosystem have been growing rapidly despite recent market volatility. Research data from DeFi TVL aggregator, Defillama, revealed on Monday, September 25, the tremendous growth of Ethereum....
Staking is complicated, but learning the truth behind these four myths will help to increase liquid staking mass adoption. Blockchains have relied on proof-of-work (PoW) validation since their inception. Yet the PoW consensus proved to be unsustainable with its high energy usage and its need for fast, powerful hardware creating high barriers to entry. That’s why blockchains are adopting proof-of-stake consensus algorithms (PoS), where those wanting to earn rewards don’t have to compete against other miners, but can simply stake part of their crypto for a chance to be chosen to be a....
