Question 1

What is liquid staking?

Accepted Answer

Liquid staking allows you to stake native tokens and receive a liquid representation token. You earn staking rewards while retaining the ability to sell or use your liquid tokens across DeFi applications, tracked on the DeFiLlama liquid staking directory.

Question 2

Is my crypto safe when staking?

Accepted Answer

While staking is non-custodial, it carries contract risk (bugs in the code) and slashing risk (validator errors). StakeStone mitigates these risks via multiple audits, collateral requirements, and node diversity, governed by secure smart contract execution.

Question 3

What is slashing?

Accepted Answer

Slashing is a penalty imposed by the blockchain on validators for bad behavior, such as double-signing blocks or prolonged downtime. Stakers can inspect validation rules in official network documentations.
