Due to the increasingly proven inefficiencies of proof of work (PoW) blockchains, a growing number of blockchains have adopted proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanisms to secure their smart contract ecosystems through staking. With this growth, a rapidly burgeoning niche has emerged in decentralized finance (DeFi). Known as liquid staking derivatives (LSDs), they facilitate the staking of assets locked in PoS blockchains to provide liquidity and ensure optimal capital efficiency for asset holders.
The concept of LSD finance (LSDFi) has been taken a notch higher by the creation of heterogeneous cross-chain liquid staking platforms (such as Tenet and Stader Labs) that facilitate multi-chain staking of interest-bearing LSDs.
In this article we’ll explore Bifrost Finance, a cross-chain LSDFi protocol serving parachains operating on Polkadot, which is an interoperability-focused Layer 1 blockchain.
Let’s learn more about Bifrost.
