LST Diversification

Definition

LST diversification refers to the strategy of holding various Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) from different protocols or validators to spread risk and potentially optimize returns. Instead of staking native assets directly, users receive LSTs, which can then be used in other decentralized finance applications. Diversifying across multiple LSTs helps mitigate risks associated with individual protocol failures or validator performance issues. This approach aims to reduce concentration risk within the liquid staking ecosystem.
