  • Lido DAO provides liquid staking for ETH, allowing staked ETH to earn rewards while remaining tradable through stETH, enhancing DeFi flexibility.
  • Injective offers MEV-resistant order books for transparent DeFi trading, with cross-chain support to broaden ecosystem interoperability.
  • NEAR Protocol simplifies blockchain interactions with human-readable accounts and fast transaction speeds via its Doomslug consensus.

The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has evolved through Lido DAO, Injective, NEAR Protocol, Aave, and Cronos. These projects make meaningful contributions to the DeFi space in diverse ways, such as liquid staking providers, financial services, lending, governance, and security.

Lido DAO(LDO): The Leading Liquid Staking Solution for Ethereum and Polygon

Lido DAO offers liquid staking, an important function for the Ethereum chain. ETH holders can lock their Ethereum and, in return, get a representation in the form of stETH, which also contains the rewards. This liquid staking solution enables holders to earn staking rewards, and at the same time, they can trade or use their stETH, which increases versatility in the DeFi space. Lido DAO has a decentralized form of governance whereby decisions such as updates, new additions and integrations, and general strategies are all voted on by the holders of LDO.  While initially supporting multiple networks, Lido has now concentrated its staking solutions on Ethereum and Polygon, recently sunsetting support for Solana.

The AAVE token offers its holders governance privileges, from which they can decide crucial upgrades to the protocol.
