🔦✨ Spotlight on: Bifrost
@Bifrost is a liquid staking app-chain tailored for all blockchains. It utilizes Polkadot’s cross-chain interoperability and shared security to provide reliable and flexible DeFi services 🌈
How it works ⚙️ Bifrost acts as a liquid staking token (LST) issuer providing liquidity for staked assets by issuing shadow assets during the bonding period of the original assets. These shadow assets can circulate across DEXs, pools, protocols, and chains.
👨🔧 Bifrost helps address key issues in the eco:
🔹 Staking Rewards vs. DeFi Yields: resolving the paradox between earning staking rewards and DeFi yields
🔹 Token Balance and Security: maintaining a balance between staking/circulating tokens and the security of PoS chains
🔹 Cross-Chain Staking Rewards: enabling staking rewards in cross-chain scenarios
While vToken (Liquid Staking Voucher Token) allows users to convert tokens (DOT for example) into vTokens, providing staking liquidity and rewards without cross-chain barriers 👍
💡 Pro tip: vDOT retains its gov rights from the relay chain, meaning it can be used in OpenGov
Bifrost’s other functionalities that set it apart include automatic staking management, reduced unstaking periods, delegate staking, and more.
