Trusted Node utilizes the concept of liquid staking to promote staking and bring capital back to PoS. Users staking their coins can create liquid, synthetic tokens, i.e. representations of their locked coins, which they can then hold, trade, sell, or deposit into Trusted Node vaults or DeFi protocols. Liquid staking enables users to gain dual rewards from securing the PoS networks AND providing liquidity to high-APY vaults.
