Liquid staking token

A transferable token representing a claim connected to assets in a liquid staking protocol.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

An LST lets a staking claim circulate without moving the underlying stake each time. Some designs show rewards through a growing balance; others change the underlying value represented by each token. Its trading price is separate, so a DEX sale can differ from protocol redemption.
