The liquid staking contract enables staking services to issue liquid staking tokens (LSTs) representing an underlying staking position. LSTs can be used in DeFi while the underlying TON earns rewards.

Combining staking with DeFi

Staking can be combined with various DeFi strategies to maximize returns and unlock additional value from staked assets.

​
Liquid staking strategies

  1. Re-staking liquid tokens After staking TON and receiving liquid tokens such as tsTON, stake these tokens again to earn additional yields. This creates a compounding effect where staking rewards are earned on both the original stake and the liquid token rewards.
  2. DeFi integration Use liquid staking tokens in lending protocols, DEX liquidity pools, and other DeFi applications to earn multiple yield streams simultaneously.
Tonstakers Earn provides detailed strategies and examples covering leveraged staking, collateral staking, and DEX liquidity provision.

​
Vesting contracts with staking

Locked token purchases: Tokens acquired through vesting contracts remain locked but can be staked to participate in validation and earn rewards during the lock period. This approach allows holders to generate rewards from locked assets throughout the vesting period. Vesting contracts support multiple staking options.
