Greetings Secret Agents! Today we’re featuring a new liquid staking solution coming to Secret Network.
One of the most powerful features on Secret Network is staking – empowering users to passively earn APR by securing Secret Network. By locking up SCRT, users improve the security of the overall protocol, while also decreasing the actively circulating supply of SCRT. However, amidst this locked collateral is a massive amount of untapped and illiquid value. With over 125M SCRT currently staked, this amounts to over ~$600,000,000 of locked value on Secret Network.
What if there was a way to put this locked collateral to work separate from just staking it?
Enter privacy-preserving liquid staking from StakeEasy. Users will have the opportunity to lock up SCRT and mint seSCRT – a liquid token that is a claim on the underlying locked SCRT collateral and staking rewards while also being usable for trading and liquidity providing on Secret Network DEXs.
Delegators can use the staking derivative token even further by depositing the seSCRT in another DeFi protocol to accrue more yield via the following potential use cases:
- Leveraged staking
- Derivative token futures and options contracts
- No loss lottery where rewards generated are distributed to lucky winners
- Liquidity providing
- Lending
