The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape is continuously evolving, bringing innovative solutions that redefine how investors interact with digital assets. A huge development in this space is the emergence of Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs), which combine the liquidity of traditional financial instruments with the high-yield potential of crypto assets.

Liquid Staking Tokens represent a game-changing innovation in the Ethereum ecosystem, merging the benefits of staking with the flexibility of liquidity. This article explores the significance of LSTs, their role in enhancing Ethereum’s security, the origins of their yield, and how Amplified leverages these assets to optimize protocol yields.

Amplified unifies LST/LRT markets into a single, optimized Super Vault.
