Stake DAO

Stake DAO is a Decentralized Finance protocol initiated in January 2021. It is focused on liquid staking of governance tokens with lock mechanisms. The protocol offers the following product suite: Liquid Lockers: Liquid Lockers enable owners of governance tokens using veTokenomics to enjoy all the benefits of the locking process, without the trade-off of illiquidity, thanks to a liquid representation: sdToken. Strategies: Strategies optimize the potential of Liquid Lockers. Each pool from integrated protocols with a gauge can have a corresponding strategy on Stake DAO. These strategies boost yields with the veTokens owned by Liquid Lockers. Votemarket: Votemarket allows users to engage and monetize their votes for token emissions across integrated protocols, by earning incentives offered by users who seek voting power towards a specific emission redirection, thus enhancing participation by adding an extra layer of incentives for protocol governance activities​.
