Staking Derivative Utility

Definition

Staking derivative utility refers to the functional value derived from tokens that represent staked assets in a proof-of-stake blockchain. These derivatives allow users to retain liquidity and participate in other decentralized finance activities while their original assets are locked for staking rewards. The utility includes enabling trading, lending, or using the derivative as collateral in various protocols. This mechanism optimizes capital efficiency for participants in staking ecosystems.
