Portfolio / Liquid staking / Protocol
Bifrost
Liquidity for assets that are still staking.
The signal.
Proof-of-stake security asks users to lock capital, while DeFi rewards mobility. Bifrost sits directly in that tension by making staked positions usable across applications.
A multi-chain liquid-staking protocol that issues transferable vTokens representing staked assets and their accumulating rewards.
Staking helps secure proof-of-stake networks, but it can make capital slow to move. Bifrost issues liquid-staking tokens that represent the underlying staked position and its rewards, allowing that position to travel into other DeFi applications.
This improves capital efficiency, but it also adds layers of risk: smart contracts, validator selection, cross-chain messaging, liquidity, and the possibility that a derivative trades away from the value it represents.
Bifrost’s product question is whether it can standardize that experience across chains without making those risks harder to see.
Where it stands.
