What is liquid staking?

Proof-of-stake blockchains require participants to lock up a certain amount of funds to act as collateral. This is known as crypto staking. However, with native staking, you can no longer use your funds for blockchain apps or services because coins are locked up to guarantee a blockchain validator acts with the network’s best interests in mind. 

Another way to continue using these coins in the blockchain ecosystem without losing your stake is called ‘liquid staking.’ This system allows you to earn rewards from securing blockchains, and to receive liquid tokens in exchange that are just like any other blockchain token, which means you can trade and use into DeFi protocols and blockchain applications.
