BENQI is a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) liquidity market protocol, built on the Avalanche blockchain. BENQI consists of the BENQI Liquidity Market (BLM), a protocol that enables users to effortlessly lend, borrow, and earn interest with their digital assets. Depositors providing liquidity to the protocol may earn passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow in an over-collateralized manner.
The BENQI Liquid Staking (BLS) protocol is a liquid staking solution that tokenizes staked AVAX to grant users the ability to utilize the yield-bearing asset within DeFi applications. BLS helps to free up the otherwise locked and staked AVAX by tokenizing the staked asset into sAVAX, which users can use freely with other DeFi dApps, creating greater capital efficiency with the Avalanche ecosystem.
Liquid AVAX Staking
Liquid staking is the process of participating in the validation of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains by staking and then receiving an interest-bearing asset in return that reflects staking rewards. Many blockchains have a certain unbonding period if a user wishes to unstake, through which assets are still locked, but not earning rewards. Many networks also have a minimum requirement for the amount a user needs in order to stake, which may exclude people from being able to participate.
Liquid staking allows those staking to earn rewards while retaining liquidity through the tokenized version of the staked funds, which can be traded or used to earn additional rewards. BENQI Liquid Staking (BLS) allows users to stake AVAX on the Avalanche C-Chain* without needing to stake on the Avalanche P-Chain*. This allows users to earn validating rewards from the P-Chain without running a full node or locking up AVAX on a validating node.
By tokenizing the staked AVAX into sAVAX (BENQI's Liquid Staked AVAX), users will now be able to utilize the asset within dApps while earning passive returns from Avalanche staking itself. The sAVAX asset provides developers and users a wealth of strategies and options to build off from. Steakwallet has integrated BENQI's Liquid Staking protocol natively in-app to allow more users to gain access to AVAX staking rewards without tradeoffs.
