With the explosive rise of Solana and Move-powered Layer-1 blockchains like Sui and Aptos, it seems the crypto market is weighted towards blockchains focused on scalability.

Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs): unlocking your trading liquidity
Crypto trading offers many ways to generate passive gains, and one popular method is staking. As a core mechanism in Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains, staking allows crypto users to lock their holdings away to validate transactions and secure the network, all while earning rewards. However, traditional staking comes with limitations, particularly for active traders. Locked assets ultimately restrict your ability to capitalize on market movements, and high minimum requirements can create barriers to entry.
