Difference with Other LSTs

The vast majority of Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) rely on validator rewards to generate returns. These systems depend on third-party validators to secure the network and deliver staking rewards. However, if the validator is inefficient, prone to errors, or in rare cases, malicious, participants in the staking pools could face significant losses. These losses can range from a slight reduction in reward APR to the more severe penalty of losing staked ETH entirely due to a process called “slashing.”

AQTIS LSTs are different. Rather than relying on external validators, AQTIS LSTs are designed with built-in yield assurance. The yield is an integral part of the AQTIS ecosystem, supported by a reserve fund that helps protect your yield. Additionally, AQTIS utilizes its proprietary quant tech, ensuring that the LSTs generate sustainable and consistent returns without the risks associated with third-party validators.
