Liquid Staking and PStake

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Protocol-level liquid staking platform PSTAKE issues wrapped tokens (pATOM) plus a staking-reward token (stkATOM) using a two-token model that mirrors the on‑chain staking module, routes staked Cosmos assets through a pBridge multi-function bridge to Ethereum, and farms pools on SushiSwap. Validators (StakeFish, Figment, Cosmostation, Everstake, AuditOne) share stakes. ATOM and XPRT are live, ~$30M locked in one month; roadmap lists AKT, BAND, Injective, ETH2, Solana, Terra and multi‑chain issuance via Persistence chain.
