General
pSTAKE is is a liquid staking protocol that unlocks liquidity for your staked assets. With pSTAKE, you can securely stake your Proof-of-Stake (PoS) assets, participate in protocol improvements and security to earn staking rewards, and receive staked underlying representative tokens (stkASSETs) which can be used to explore additional yield opportunities across DeFi.
$BNB liquid staking will be going live on August 8, 2022. pSTAKE currently offers liquid staking support for $ETH, $ATOM and $XPRT.
Liquid staking implementations for $SOL and $AVAX are underway, with support for more Cosmos ecosystem assets launching in the coming months.
The $PSTAKE token functions as the governance and incentivisation/dis-incentivisation token of the pSTAKE protocol. $PSTAKE holders will be incentivised to participate in the protocol’s governance to ensure its long-term success and security.
$PSTAKE tokens are also used as a dis-incentivization token in case stakeholders staking $PSTAKE act maliciously or are unable to perform their respective duties appropriately.

stkASSETs are liquid-staked assets representing the underlying staked assets i.e. stkATOM represents staked ATOM. Currently, stkASSETs are issued as ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, but will soon be issued on the respective native chains for non-IBC assets and on the Persistence chain (IBC-enabled) for Cosmos ecosystem IBC assets.
ERC-20 $PSTAKE contract address: https://etherscan.io/token/0xfB5c6815cA3AC72Ce9F5006869AE67f18bF77006
$PSTAKE is also issued as a native token on Persistence chain/IBC. As with other Tendermint-based assets, this version has no contract address.
The pSTAKE application URL is https://app.pstake.finance
The user has to go on the application and claim the unbonded tokens. Once claimed, tokens will be added in the pASSET balance
pBridge is a bridge between several blockchains, which currently powers pSTAKE. This unique bridge enables the transfer of value between multiple disparate blockchains such as Ethereum, Cosmos, Persistence, etc.
pSTAKE’s 2022 roadmap includes:
- Launch stkASSETs for ETH 2.0 (stkETH) by Q2
- Asset issuance of Tendermint-based assets (stkATOM, stkXPRT etc) on the IBC-enabled Persistence Core-1 chain by Q3
- Make stkXPRT the base-pair against all major stkASSETs
- Add support for more Cosmos ecosystem assets by Q3
- Bootstrap use-cases of stkASSETS (e.g. DEXs, borrowing/lending)
- Building liquidity for stkASSETs on the DEXs and other DeFi dApps
- Make stkASSETs the core assets of the PoS economy
