The Limitations of Traditional Staking
In a typical Proof of Stake (PoS) network, users stake their tokens to help secure the network and receive rewards. However, this process comes with several limitations that hinder both usability and capital efficiency.
Key Problems
🔒 Locked Capital
Staked tokens are illiquid — once locked, you can’t transfer, trade, or use them in DeFi. This reduces your ability to maximize returns or react to market changes.
⏳ Unstaking Delays
Most networks enforce an unbonding period (ranging from hours to days) before staked tokens can be withdrawn. This delays your access to funds when you need them most.
🔧 Technical Barriers
Staking directly often requires:
Validator selection
Running nodes or hardware
Manual reward claims This makes it complex for average users to participate.
💸 Opportunity Cost
While your tokens are staked and locked, you're missing out on additional yield opportunities in DeFi — such as lending, farming, or providing liquidity.
User Experience Gap
The traditional staking flow is fragmented and unintuitive:
Wallet → Stake → Wait → Unstake → Wait → Use AgainThis multi-step, time-consuming process discourages users from participating, especially those unfamiliar with technical blockchain operations.
The Need for a Better Way
As DeFi evolves, users demand more flexible, composable, and accessible staking solutions. Capital should work in parallel, not sit idle.
