⚡️Comparison of 7 Mainstream Staking Platforms on the Market - Advantages and Risks——

Last time someone asked me to talk about this area, I organized a comparison, and you can choose based on the yield.

1⃣Lido @LidoFinance

Advantages: Many DeFi protocols support stETH, high liquidity.

Risks:

1. Some users believe that the limited number of operators may concentrate risks.

2. stETH has a certain risk of decoupling.

2⃣Pendle @pendle_fi

Advantages: Combines future yields and spot assets, suitable for hedging or yield optimization strategies, can improve capital efficiency, and offers flexible gameplay with the ability to switch freely.

Risks: The PT-YT mechanism is relatively complex, and if not thoroughly researched, yields may shrink.

3⃣EigenLayer @eigenlayer

Advantages: High staking reusability, can maximize yields across multiple networks.

Risks:

1. Staking reusability may increase cross-protocol risks.

2. If one of the staking reuse protocols encounters issues, the staked assets may be confiscated.

4⃣EtherFi @ether_fi

Advantages: Non-custodial staking, users control private keys, reducing custody risks. Compatible with ETH 2.0.

Risks:

1. The non-custodial model requires high technical capability, which may lead to user operational errors.

2. Compared to mature platforms like Lido, liquidity is not as high.

5⃣Ethena @ethena_labs

Advantages: The product is quite diversified, suitable for users with different risk preferences, and supports stablecoin staking.

Risks:

1. Yield optimization strategies may become ineffective due to market fluctuations.

2. DAO governance mechanism, if community governance participation is insufficient, it may affect decision quality.

6⃣Jito @jito_sol

Advantages: Efficient validation, very attractive for networks with high performance requirements.

Risks:

1. The ecosystem is relatively concentrated, heavily reliant on the stability of a particular protocol.

2. The competition in the validation optimization market is fierce, and long-term advantages may be weakened.

3. Suitable for advanced users; beginners may find it difficult to understand the technical details.

7⃣Babylon @babylonlabs_io

Advantages: Supports cross-chain staking, offers diversified rewards, and has high flexibility.

Risks: Mainly faces cross-chain risks, as cross-chain bridges are often targets for hacker attacks.

Summary——

Safety First: If asset security is a concern, Lido and EtherFi are good choices.

Yield Optimization: Pendle and EigenLayer offer higher yield potential.

Technical Innovation: Jito and Babylon focus on performance and cross-chain interoperability, suitable for tech-savvy users.

Community Participation: Ethena offers diverse options, suitable for users interested in community governance.
