Liquid Staking on Radix

Put your validator stake to work

PreviousFAQsNextLSU Pool Overview

Last updated 1 year ago

The Babylon update saw Radix introduce the concept of liquid staking. Here's how it works:

  • A user stakes to a validator (to help secure the network and earn emissions)

  • The validator returns the user a fungible LSU token representing their share of the staking pool

  • Each different validator issues a unique LSU token

  • The validator staking pool (of which the LSU holder owns a share) accrues XRD rewards (network emissions) over time. Rewards are discounted for validator downtime (penalties) and validator fees.

  • Currently, as there is no slashing, LSUs can only go up in value (or at worse remain constant)

So a staker to a validator on Radix holds LSU tokens which are unique to that specific validator, fungible and increase in XRD value over time.

The Radix protocol enforces a 7 day unstaking period - the time it takes from unstaking your LSU to receiving the associated XRD stake back.

For more comprehensive details of staking on Radix, see this .

Read on for how the LSU Pool works.
