SUMMARY
  • As a proof of stake network, Ethereum rewards stakers with block rewards and user fees.
  • However, the 32 ETH minimum required to stake your ETH directly on the network prohibits the vast majority of users from doing so. Enter liquid staking derivatives, or LSDs.
  • LSDs refer to the tokens created by DeFi protocols or centralized services designed to reward users who stake ETH on their platform.
