StaFi's Integration Into Curve
StaFi is a Substrate project that has it's focus on unlocking the liquidity of staked assets for three years. We have now released five liquid staking solutions for proof-of-stake projects, including Eth2, Polkadot, Kusama, Cosmos and StaFi.
The rETH token is a staking derivative of Eth2 issued by StaFi when users stake Ether (ETH) tokens through the StaFi rETH App.
The rETH tokens are anchored to staked ETH and the corresponding staking reward. They provide holders the flexibility to trade at any time while still receiving staking rewards. With the rETH App, Eth2 stakers will enjoy efficient liquidity and maximized staking rewards at the same time.

At present, 1,649 ETH, valued at around $5 million, is staked in the rETH contract. In order to provide the most profitable use cases for rETH holders, StaFi plans to be integrated into Curve, the largest decentralized exchange for trading wrapped tokens with similar values.
StaFi had raised a proposal on Curve DAO to add the rETH/ETH trading pair on April 30, 2021. During the listing proposal vote, StaFi got 6.51 million veCRV votes and passed the vote successfully. This is a great milestone for StaFi’s rToken integration into the top mainstream decentralized finance protocols.
StaFi has now initiated a 120,000-FIS tokens reward pool for Curve’s rETH/ETH liquidity providers, and the rETH/ETH pool APY has now crossed 455%.
StaFi’s PartnershipBesides integration into Curve, StaFi is also working with other DeFi protocols to provide the best liquidity and user scenarios for its rToken holders. Examples include working with WrapFi and Stone to provide yield farming programs for rToken holders, working with Tidal to provide issuance for rToken users, working with Matic to explore layer-two solutions for rToken users, and so on.
StaFi believes that delivering an interest-bearing rToken service is only the first step. The liquidity dilemma of staked assets will not be fully resolved if rToken cannot be freely traded, exchanged or utilized in other financial applications. Therefore, StaFi will strive to create comprehensive use cases, such as a DEX, lending and synthetic assets for rTokens.
StaFi has also released five rToken solutions (as shown below) on mainnet, which is the most among all related projects:
rATOM, liquid staking solution for Cosmos.
Benefits Of Staking With StaFi
The StaFi rToken App can help PoS stakers to solve the following two problems:
No more unstake periods: There will be no need to wait for a long unbonding period to transfer or trade staked PoS assets. Users of the rToken App can transfer and trade the staking voucher rToken at any time on Uniswap to enjoy liquidity and hedge price risks.
Maximized staking rewards: There is no need to learn the complicated nominated proof-of-stake or Tendermint consensus mechanisms and the associated staking reward calculation rules anymore. With the rToken App, users only need a few simple steps to deposit PoS tokens into the rToken contract, which will automatically select the best validator by executing the staking reward maximization strategy algorithm.

About StaFi:
Stafi (short for Staking Finance) is a DeFi protocol that aims to unlock liquidity of staked assets. STAFI Protocol solves the contradiction between the token liquidity and Mainnet security by issuing ABT tokens, which provides the liquidity of your Staking Assets.
