Podcasts about liquid staking

Bitcoin remains an untapped source of net-new liquidity that could be injected into DeFi. This would completely reshape Bitcoin's utilization from a mere store of value to a liquid asset that can be ported cross-chain and traded like a liquid staking derivative. Lombard's LBTC builds upon Babylon's Bitcoin staking primitive and aims to unlock new yield sources for the industry's leading asset by increasing its DeFi utilization.Topics covered in this episode:Jacob's backgroundLessons gathered from PolychainFocusing on BitcoinWhy Bitcoin staking is crucial for BTC DeFiBuilding on top of BabylonLBTC mintingSources of BTC yieldPoS inflation and native token incentivesBTC as a trading pair in DeFiLombard chainFuture challenges to overcomeBitcoin L2sLombard milestonesEpisode links:Jacob Phillips on XLombard on XBabylon on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Apart from incentivising market participants to secure the network through inflationary rewards, many consider staking as an equivalent of stock dividend yield. As a result, although Bitcoin is regarded as digital gold, protocols are looking for ways to increase its utilisation in DeFi and, ultimately, generate yield. Nowadays, while newer networks are struggling to attract investors and sustain a healthy, decentralised validator set, more established blockchains capture the lion's share of PoS actors. However, in a constant race for profit basis points, centralised consolidation of stakers seems inevitable. Join us for a fascinating discussion on the staking landscape and the challenges it may present to decentralisation.Topics covered in this episode:Increasing BTC utilization through BTC yieldLooping yield productsThe maturation of the staking marketChorus One staking portfolioHow to prevent staking consolidationRetail vs. institutional-grade operatorsSymbiotic, Eigenlayer & restaking yieldEpisode links:Mirko Schmiedl on XTobias Jung on XStaking Rewards on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Ethereum's transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake created a unique set of conditions (i.e. lack of protocol-level delegation, 32 ETH requirement, long exit queues, etc.) that led to Lido's liquid staking model to gain huge traction, significantly eclipsing other LSD providers on native PoS chains. stETH added on-demand liquidity, bypassing withdrawal windows, while also increasing DeFi utilization and increasing yields. Moreover, by allowing users to stake any amount of ETH in pools, it removed the requirement for 32 ETH increments, ultimately improving decentralisation through long tail distribution of individual stakers. Lido V3 introduces modular stVaults which enable staking customization. This allows professional actors, such as institutional stakers, to have granular control over validators, MEV and other parameters, diversifying their investment strategies.Topics covered in this episode:Hasu's backgroundDiscovering LidoLiquid staking and the early days of LidoWhy liquid staking gained traction on EthereumThe evolution of LidoInitial decentralisation concerns and the importance of dual governanceRestakingLido V3 and vaultsInstitutional staking & ETFsEthereum's ‘crisis' and its valuesEpisode links:Hasu on XLido on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

In a world where everyone chases every basis point of marginal return, core values are often overlooked. The emergence of liquid staking protocols made stake delegation a norm rather than an exception. The hassles of running their own node and dealing with slashing risks were often too much of a burden for regular users. Dappnode offers both hardware and open-source software solutions for home stakers which are as facile to implement as a plug-n-play device. Their newly released Dappnode Smooth aims to offer the advantages of staking pools (via smart contracts), without centralisation risks.Topics covered in this episode:Eduardo's and Pol's backgroundsFounding DappnodeDappnode userbaseSupported networksDappnode's tech stackSetting up DappnodeDappstoreUpdating nodesDappnode hardware usage percentageDappnode SmoothSolo staking vs. liquid stakingDistributed validator technology (DVT)RestakingETH issuanceFuture roadmap for DappnodeEpisode links:Eduardo Antuna on TwitterDappnode on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Summary In this episode of the 2Six Podcast, Luke and Adrian interview Steven Gates from GoGoPool. They discuss the vision behind GoGoPool and its role in the Avalanche network. They also discuss liquid staking and how GoGoPool allows users to stake AVAX and earn yield through their ggAVAX token. They mention the upcoming launch of the Coqnet and the improvements in the Avalanche 2.0 upgrade. The conversation covers various topics related to the Coqnet and the future of GoGoPool. The Coqnet is expected to become the cultural epicenter of the Avalanche network, with thousands of subnets and a wide range of applications. The goal is to create a more transparent, fair, and cheaper system that allows users to control their data. Blockchains are seen as an alternative to closed systems that dominate the current internet landscape. GoGoPool aims to be central to all subnets and power the staking for them.

In a world where a handful of (centralised) entities hold the majority of staked Ethereum (either directly or via delegation), the network's decentralisation and security might be in peril. While there are multiple proposals being discussed to address this pressing matter, from reducing issuance after a certain breakpoint (~30% of total ETH being staked) to introducing more severe slashing for colluding entities, education and guidance remain paramount. EthStaker is a community led project whose goal is to guide, educate, support and offer resources for stakers, in order to lower the barrier of entry for solo stakers.We were joined by Superphiz & Nixorokish, to discuss the current Ethereum staking landscape and what challenges need to be addressed to ensure the network's decentralisation and security.Topics covered in this episode:Superphiz' & Nixorokish' backgroundsEthereum staking evolutionStaking optionsLiquid stakingCentralization risksIncentivizing solo stakingLowering ETH issuance proposal & network securitySolo stakersHow a healthy staking ecosystem looks likeThe importance of client diversitySocio-political collusionMisc.Episode links:Superphiz on TwitterNixorokish on TwitterEthStaker on TwitterEthStakerSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

The massive success of the recently approved spot Bitcoin ETF showed tremendous interest from large institutional players. Even despite negative takes in public appearances, behind the curtain, more and more ‘smart money' accumulate $BTC, either directly or through ETF shares. The same is to be expected for Ethereum, yet uncertainty still looms due to its proof-of-stake consensus model and, ultimately, staking yield. While crypto natives quickly embraced both ETH staking as well as liquid staking, institutions could not justify the higher risk profile and lack of regulatory compliance. Alluvial and Liquid Collective seek to change this and provide ultrasound infrastructure for enterprise-grade security in liquid staking. Topics covered in this episode:Mara's backgroundETH 2.0 and the current staking landscapeLiquid CollectiveETH ETF and staking concernsThe risks of adjusting staking emissionsRestaking and new opportunitiesInstitutional staking and risk optimizationEpisode links:Mara Schmiedt on TwitterAlluvial on TwitterLiquid Collective on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Mikhil Pandey is Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Persistence Labs, building Persistence One a purpose built Layer 1 on a mission to maximize yield and security through Liquid Staking & Restaking. Why you should listen Persistence One is one of the first Cosmos app chains and has been relentlessly building at the edge of the Proof-of-Stake landscape since 2019. Ehile staking attracts a large number of participants in their pursuit to earn rewards and provide better network security, significant potential TVL and activity have been siloed away from the DeFi landscape into PoS. Reversely, the emergence of DeFi has highlighted the limited utility that staked assets provide compared to the composability and financial opportunities available in the vibrant DeFi space, thereby taking away from the attractiveness of staking to secure the chain. Liquid Staking solves this problem, enabling users and their additional liquidity to enter DeFi by allowing PoS token holders to stake and participate in DeFi at the same time. Liquid stakers receive liquid-staked representative tokens that can be used across DeFi ecosystems, while earning rewards from their underlying staked tokens and supporting the underlying networks. As Liquid Staking becomes more broadly adopted, users are looking for opportunities to put their Liquid Staked Assets to good use and generate more yield. Persistence aims to make that user journey as smooth as possible by offering a wide array of use cases within the ecosystem.

Persistence provides staking, liquid staking, and now, restaking services for the Cosmos ecosystem. The protocol is comprised of two components, in pSTAKE, the liquid staked asset hub, and DEXTER, a DeFi application with LST and yield-bearing token use-cases. The Cosmos ecosystem surprised some when the likes of Celestia were introduced last year, bringing attention back to the sector. Cosmos and Tendermint provide infrastructure that allows appchains to have more sovereignty, as seen with the migration of dYdX. In this podcast, our Founder and CEO, Nick Drakon, sits down with Mikhil Pandey, Co-Founder and CSO at Persistence Labs to discuss everything Persistence, Cosmos, Parallelized EVM chains, and more.

Matt Liu is the co-founder of Origin Protocol, an Ethereum-powered platform for NFTs, DeFi, Liquid Staking, and Restaking. Why you should listen Origin has a stablecoin, the Origin Dollar (OUSD) to support users as they passively earn yield on OUSD held in wallets – as opposed to being staked or locked up in a protocol. Ethereum restaking has become one of 2024's most disruptive narratives. The thriving sector is teeming with innovation, offering new opportunities for builders and users alike. Matt says he learned that if you want to remain at the forefront, you need to constantly evolve along with the space. This principle allowed him to take liquid staking by the horns with Origin Ether. In a few months, they brought a product to market that continues to deliver value for users. Today, Origin Ether is approaching $100M of TVL while delivering higher risk-adjusted yields than the top liquid staking tokens like stETH, rETH, and frxETH. His new product is Prime Staked ETH (primeETH), a liquid restaked token (LRT) that provides liquidity for assets that have been deposited into EigenLayer. By converting staked ETH into primeETH, users can stack ETH staking yield, EigenLayer points, and primeETH XP points all while remaining liquid. primeETH is a reward-bearing token that works similarly to cTokens. primeETH tokens are not rebasing like stETH or OETH. Instead, the underlying rewards accrued by restaking positions are reflected in the price of primeETH over time as it increases in value. primeETH was developed by Matt and the Origin Protocol team that have launched multiple DeFi products with $100M+ in TVL. Prime Staked is a fork of Kelp which has been battle-tested with hundreds of millions of funds and has been audited by sigmaPrime and code4arena. The primary change to the codebase was the addition of new LSTs and configuring their associated oracles. Each of the newly added assets have been carefully reviewed to make sure they don't introduce new reentrancy vectors or unexpected behaviors.  Supporting links Bitget Bitget VIP Link with BONUS 1000 USDT Bitget Academy Bitget Research Bitget Wallet Origin Protocol Prime Staked Andy on Twitter  Brave New Coin on Twitter Brave New Coin If you enjoyed the show please subscribe to the Crypto Conversation and give us a 5-star rating and a positive review in whatever podcast app you are using.

Superphiz is a long-time Ethereum community member and a became a vocal advocate for staking decentralization following the Ethereum 'Merge' to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism last year. In this episode of The Scoop, Superphiz unpacks how Ethereum's merge to proof-of-stake has caused liquid staking derivatives to pose a potential threat to Ethereum's credible neutrality, as well as the best pathways to mitigate the potential for staking centralization.

In this episode, we chat with Brandon Tucker, head of comms at Marinade Finance, to dive into the world of liquid staking tokens on Solana. In theory, the value prop of LSTs is clear. In practice, only a tiny fraction of staked Solana uses LSTs. Throughout this conversation, we unpack why that is the case and what Marinade is doing to lean into this predominant user behavior on Solana that is much less common on chains like Ethereum. -        - Time Stamps 1:43 - The rise of LSTs  5:59 - Why LST adoption on Sol is so low 12:20 - Should epoch times be longer 15:18 - Marinade governance 20:23 - Marinade business model 16:44 - How to ensure accurate data gathering 25:47 - Centralisation vectors 33:28 - How to get more LST adoption into Sol dapps 39:04 - Competitive landscape from other providers 44:09 - Will Lido exit Sol ecosystem 47:44 - Competiton from centralised players 49:15 - How to bring liquidity back to Sol defi 53:07 - Future of LSTs 58:27 - Marinade roadmap 1:02:20 - What's the next big thing in crypto -        - Podcast Resources Follow Sal: https://twitter.com/Sal_The_Bull Follow Dave: https://twitter.com/SolBeachBum Follow Unlayered: https://twitter.com/UnlayeredPod Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or Google: https://unlayered.io/ Clips on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UnlayeredPod -        - Episode Resources Marinade Native Staking Referral Code : https://marinade.finance/app?ref=s7iob5by Follow Brandon Tucker : https://twitter.com/BrandonTucker Follow Marinade Finance :  https://twitter.com/MarinadeFinance Marinade Website : https://Marinade.Finance

We couldn't miss EthCC 6 and we got to sit down with Vitalik Buterin to discuss hot topics from the Ethereum ecosystem: MEV, staking derivatives, privacy, decentralisation and future interoperability. Ethereum's merge to proof-of-stake brought with it the emergence of liquid staking derivatives (LSD). Similarly to mining pools in proof-of-work consensus models, staking pools could pose a risk to Ethereum's decentralisation. In terms of privacy preserving solutions, the advances in zero knowledge research were a big breakthrough, especially as EVM-compatibility became possible. Maximal extractable value (MEV) remains a pressing matter, but hopes are that the upcoming proposer-builder separation (PBS) will alleviate it.Topics covered in this episode:EthCC 6 updates and development across Ethereum's ecosystemMEV and proposer-builder separation (PBS)Liquid staking derivatives (LSD), governance and decentralisationPrivacyZK proofs and decentralised identifiers (DID)Ecosystem interoperabilityCross-chain bridge securityConclusionsEpisode links:Vitalik ButerinEthereum Foundation on TwitterEthCC on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Sebastien Couture, Friederike Ernst & Brian Fabian Crain.
