What is Liquid Staking?

Liquid staking is a way to stake GRAM and earn rewards while keeping your assets liquid and usable across TON ecosystem.

How does liquid staking work?

At its core is a staking pool, a smart contract where users deposit their tokens. The pool transfers them to validators, who stake the tokens and return the rewards to the pool every 18 hours.

When you stake GRAM with Tonstakers, you receive tsTON, a liquid staking token that represents your share in the Tonstakers pool. Its value grows relative to GRAM (Toncoin) over time as rewards accumulate with each staking cycle.

What are liquid staking tokens (LST)?

Liquid staking tokens such as tsTON, the liquid staking token of Tonstakers, represent staked GRAM in a liquid form while continuing to accumulate rewards.
