Liquid staking emerged after Ethereum transitioned from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake mechanism. Its primary goal is to enhance asset utility by allowing users to earn staking rewards while maintaining the liquidity of their staked positions. Currently, mainstream liquid staking protocols allow users to stake their assets in exchange for liquid staking tokens (LSTs). For instance, by staking ETH on platforms such as Lido, users receive stETH tokens. This approach is commonly referred to as "liquid staking derivatives" (LSDs). Since Binance hinted at collaborating with Sanctum to launch the Solana liquid staking token BNSOL, Sanctum's governance token CLOUD has gained significant attention, rising despite unfavorable market trends. On September 5, Bybit announced its partnership with Solayer to launch bbSOL. Additionally, major exchanges have unveiled plans to introduce Solana LST tokens. EigenLayer also began its second season of airdrop claims this week, with its governance token EIGEN potentially circulating by the end of September. The LSD and restaking sectors are gaining quiet momentum, potentially setting the stage for a new wave of hype around restaking within the SOL ecosystem.
