Liquid staking on BNB

Multi-chain staking protocol Stader Labs is giving the public access to liquid staking on BNB Chain through beta testing of its integration with BNB.

On May 17, Stader announced on Twitter that it would add BNB to its portfolio, which already included Solana, Near, Fantom, Terra, and Hedera blockchains. 

Further to its launch of liquid staking on BNB, Stader said that it would also launch a liquid token called $BNBx. When users stake $BNB, BNBx tokens are minted, which can then be deployed on other DeFi protocols to earn more yields.

The BNBx token can be used to borrow stablecoins which can be staked to earn more rewards. The collateralized $BNBx will also earn more rewards. Further, upon launch, $BNBx can be used as collateral to borrow any other BEP-20 token from a lending/borrowing protocol. The borrowed tokens can then be swapped for more BNB tokens which can be staked to mint more $BNBx.

For more information on Stader’s plans for 2022, read this Medium post.

Today, Tuesday July 19 at 7 p.m. UTC, Stader is joining BSC News for a Twitter Spaces AMA.
