On the other hand we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled ralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness
Must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances.
Liquid staking allows you to earn MATIC staking rewards while maintaining the ability to use your capital in DeFi. Instead of locking your tokens, you receive a receipt token that grows in value and can be deployed across the ecosystem.
What Is Liquid Staking?
Liquid staking protocols accept your MATIC tokens and stake them on your behalf. In return, you receive a liquid token such as MaticX (from Stader) or stMATIC (from Lido). These tokens accrue staking rewards over time and can be used in DeFi applications, giving you the best of both worlds.
Stader Labs (MaticX)
Stader Labs is one of the leading liquid staking platforms on Polygon. There are no minimum staking requirements and no lockup periods. You can stake using either the Polygon or Ethereum network. The platform has been audited by Halborn and Immunebytes, and maintains a $1M bug bounty on Immunefi. MaticX auto-compounds rewards and can be used across multiple DeFi protocols for additional yield.
How to Stake with Stader
- Transfer your MATIC from a centralized exchange to a compatible wallet (MetaMask, Ledger).
- Visit the Stader Labs dApp and connect your wallet.
- Enter the amount of MATIC to stake and confirm the transaction.
- Receive MaticX tokens representing your staked position.
Lido (stMATIC)
Lido is another popular liquid staking provider offering stMATIC. Historically, Lido on Polygon has offered around 8.7% APY. stMATIC can be deployed in various DeFi pools to earn compounded returns on top of base staking rewards.
Ankr
Ankr offers liquid staking for MATIC with a simple one-click interface. It is suitable for users who want decentralized staking without the complexity of managing validators or gas optimization.
Liquid Staking vs Native Staking
The key difference is liquidity. Native staking locks your tokens for the unbonding period (3–4 days), while liquid staking gives you a tradeable receipt token with no forced wait time. However, liquid staking introduces smart contract risk, so choosing audited protocols is essential.
