Liquid staking and lending on Avalanche?
Benqi liquid staked AVAX staking is a great strategy for those who want to earn AVAX rewards, but also maintain full liquidity. sAVAX is a tradeable receipt of AVAX locked through Benqi, the most popular liquid staking protocol for Avalanche.
When sAVAX is lent back to the Benqi platform you earn QI tokens. Those QI tokens can be staked to earn more QI tokens. QI stakers receive veQI as their staking receipt. The veQI tokens can be used to vote for your favorite AVAX validators. Your vote boosts the AVAX staking yield for those who delegate to the validators you vote for.
You can earn passive income and also stake KAVA, BAND, MATIC/POL, SEDA, NOM, ETH through Stader, XRD, and STRD with Atlas Staking. More networks are on the way!
