The end-to-end steps in the liquid staking process are as follows: Step 1: Transfer your crypto tokens to any preferred wallet such as Metamask, Ledger, Coinbase Wallet, etc. Step 2: Select your preferred liquid staking platform, such as Stader Labs, and the network/blockchain’s native asset that you want to stake in, such as Ethereum, Polygon, Binance, etc. Step 3: Connect your wallet to the platform and enter any amount of tokens that you are interested in staking. You will be able to view the estimated liquid tokens that your stake amounts to and the associated gas fee of the transaction. Step 4: Once you confirm the transaction, the liquid staking provider’s smart contract will stake your assets on your behalf and issue their liquid tokens in return to you. Step 5: You are now eligible to receive staking rewards, as well as use the issued liquid tokens for trading, lending, borrowing, liquidity mining, and other DeFi activities for additional rewards. Liquid staking is a convenient and flexible way to get staking rewards on your crypto tokens. It gives you access to stake your assets without locking them up, which can be used in various ways.
