Yield Bearing Liquid ETH

The vision of StakeStone from day one was not merely to create a staking pool or restaking protocol but to build a yield-bearing liquid asset that could withstand the challenges of time. Our solution introduces the concept of liquid ETH, and we believe the following criteria are essential to making an asset truly liquid:

• Transparency: Our non-custodial approach ensures complete transparency of underlying assets and returns. Much like MakerDAO, StakeStone is committed to building a fully on-chain asset that is governed on-chain, providing full visibility into staking routes.

• True Liquidity: StakeStone leverages deep and efficient omnichain liquidity, allowing for easy redemption with minimal price impact. Users can opt for instant withdrawals on any chain, enjoying the flexibility of no lock-up periods. Unlike other staking protocols, StakeStone's robust omnichain liquidity allows for instant withdrawals on all chains. Our innovative design allocates a portion of ETH dynamically to a separate underlying yield strategy—Native's PMM lending pool—enabling market makers to provide exit liquidity for STONE holders across multiple chains, ensuring optimal liquidity and yield generation.

• Omnichain Accessibility: STONE and its price feed flow seamlessly across multiple chains, ensuring broad accessibility. This omnichain approach allows for dynamic adjustments and coverage of opportunity costs through an adaptive staking network, providing users with broad access, smooth transactions, and consistent price feeds across various chains.

• Adaptability: STONE is compatible with multiple consensus mechanisms, including PoS, Restaking, Decentralized Sequencing, AI, and more. Our unique modular architecture, which separates the minter contract from our strategy vault contract, enables adjustable underlying strategies and optimized yield source opportunities. This flexibility ensures that users can benefit from a variety of consensus mechanisms while maximizing their yield potential through tailored strategies.

• Optimization: With a decentralized portfolio strategy, liquidity is reallocated effortlessly, maximizing staking yields. Unlike traditional staking pools where users are tied to a specific fixed yield source, STONE holders benefit from the flexibility to switch underlying portfolios—for example, from Eigenlayer to Symbiotic, Ora, or other consensus mechanisms such as decentralized sequencing or DePIN.

• Consistency: Upgrading the smart contract or adjusting STONE’s underlying assets does not affect the circulating STONE, ensuring the token’s stability. This stability is supported by our modular architecture and rebalancing design, which facilitate seamless DeFi integration and reward yield accrual on L2, as well as both institutional and mass adoption. Liquidity providers only need to hold STONE or utilize it across various scenarios, including DeFi, IDO, IMO, INO, payments, and even as collateral on centralized exchanges, unlocking a wide array of CeDeFi use cases.

By building STONE to meet these criteria, we are setting the foundation for it to become the universal standard for liquid ETH, capable of thriving in a wide range of utility scenarios, empowering both user and protocol.

Our goal is to make STONE not only a cornerstone of the DeFi ecosystem—one that embodies transparency, liquidity, adaptability, and stability, but also an asset for real world businesses and use case. We believe that with STONE, we are paving the way for the future of liquid assets, offering worldwide users unparalleled flexibility in complex DeFi journeys and everyday scenarios.
