From Vault to LiquidityPad: StakeStone's Full-Chain Liquidity Solution

In the current environment of stock competition, airdrops are no longer an effective open-source traffic incentive method; instead, they have evolved into a financial game for crypto studios and on-chain whales. With the launch of new token airdrops like PLUME, one question is becoming increasingly prominent: how can ordinary users participate more fairly and efficiently in the dividends of emerging ecosystems, rather than just being the runners-up for the whales?

Interestingly, StakeStone, which previously launched the pre-deposit vault, officially announced the upgrade of the original StakeStone Vault brand to StakeStone LiquidityPad, and the first project Aria reached its purchase cap of 7 million dollars in just 9 minutes.

In the context of the multi-chain era, each emerging public chain is like a unique country, urgently needing capital and resources to achieve industrialization. StakeStone LiquidityPad is essentially playing a role similar to the VIE legal structure: one end connects to the mature on-chain financial ecosystem of Ethereum, while the other end connects to the ecosystems of various emerging public chains, helping emerging public chains raise resources on the Ethereum mainnet, and bringing back the excess profits generated after development to the Ethereum mainnet transactions, becoming an important infrastructure that connects Ethereum and emerging public chains.

The Liquidity Dilemma in the Multi-Chain Era

With the momentum of modularization, from the multi-chain concept of Cosmos and Polkadot to the flourishing of Rollup in the Ethereum L2 era, and the efforts of application chains such as OP Stack, Arbitrum Nova, and Starknet, more and more protocols and applications are starting to build dedicated chains for specific needs. However, this diversity, while bringing more possibilities to the on-chain ecosystem, has also led to the problem of extreme fragmentation of Liquidity.

Especially starting from 2024, liquidity is not only decentralized on Ethereum and L2, but is also severely isolated within the exclusive ecosystems of various emerging public chains/application chains. This fragmentation phenomenon not only exacerbates the complexity of user operations and experiences but also greatly limits the further development of DeFi and on-chain applications.

For Ethereum and L2, the inability to freely transfer liquidity leads to reduced capital efficiency; for emerging public chains like Plume and Berachain, this means that the migration costs and entry barriers are high, making it difficult to break the liquidity island effect from 0 to 1, hindering ecological expansion.

In this context, both users and developers are eager for funds to flow efficiently in on-chain protocols such as DEX, lending, etc., across any network, breaking through the fragmentation of network barriers and user experience. Especially in emerging public chain ecosystems like Plume and Berachain outside the Ethereum ecosystem, the yield opportunities in these ecosystems are often highly attractive, and users need to be able to easily migrate assets from Ethereum or other chains to these emerging ecosystems to participate in their DeFi protocols, liquidity mining, or other yield opportunities.

For users, liquidity is always key, no matter how it can be combined. Therefore, if Ethereum and the multi-chain ecosystem are to continue to scale and thrive, there is an urgent need to efficiently integrate liquidity resources that are dispersed across multiple chains and platforms. This requires the establishment of a unified technical framework and standards to combat "entropy increase," thereby bringing broader applicability, liquidity, and scalability to the multi-chain ecosystem.

StakeStone LiquidityPad: A Leap in the All-Chain Liquidity Network

StakeStone's product architecture has aimed at comprehensive blockchain liquidity infrastructure from the very beginning, gradually building the prototype of its liquidity network through individual Vault products targeting emerging public chain ecosystems. Whether it's the Plume Pre-Deposit Vault launched in collaboration with Plume or the Berachain StakeStone Vault launched in collaboration with Berachain, both are StakeStone's pioneering attempts in different ecological scenarios.

StakeStone has decided to rebrand its original Vault brand as StakeStone LiquidityPad. This is not only an evolution of the product form but also a key step in the transition from a "peer-to-peer" liquidity solution to a "peer-to-face" liquidity network. As a comprehensive liquidity infrastructure, StakeStone is always committed to connecting liquidity assets on the Ethereum mainnet with the liquidity demands of emerging public chains and L2 ecosystems.

StakeStone LiquidityPad is a comprehensive on-chain liquidity customization solution designed for diverse needs, covering liquidity support throughout the entire lifecycle from cold start to ecosystem expansion:

1. For projects that have not yet launched on the mainnet, StakeStone LiquidityPad supports raising the liquidity needed for early cold starts by publishing a pre-deposit vault on the Ethereum mainnet.

2. For projects that have launched on the mainnet, StakeStone LiquidityPad supports the customization of vaults for specific Liquidity yield scenarios, helping project ecosystems achieve rapid growth.

In addition, StakeStone will expand to support more mainstream assets, including but not limited to ETH, WETH, WBTC, USDT, USDC, and others.

With the upgrade of StakeStone LiquidityPad, StakeStone not only provides more flexible tools for emerging public chains and L2, but also builds a more efficient full-chain Liquidity network. Whether it is liquidity support from cold start to maturity stage, or resource integration across the chain ecosystem, LiquidityPad aims to become the key link in the on-chain Liquidity cycle.

StakeStone's Full-Chain Liquidity Flywheel

The core value of StakeStone LiquidityPad lies not only in solving the liquidity isolation problem of emerging public chains and application chains but also in its unique mechanism design, which creates a "full-chain liquidity flywheel" that integrates multiple asset returns and liquidity release.

The LP Tokens obtained by users after depositing assets through StakeStone LiquidityPad are not only certificates of rights in the emerging public blockchain ecosystem but also keys to unlocking multiple revenue streams. The assets deposited by users will directly participate in liquidity mining rewards, governance token airdrops, and more in the emerging public blockchain ecosystem, while StakeStone's automated strategies assist users in efficiently capturing these local profits.

In addition, LP Tokens have a high degree of financial composability, allowing users to seamlessly access DeFi financial facilities on Ethereum, further unlocking liquidity potential. This mechanism not only enables a user's asset to be reused across multiple ecosystems, maximizing returns, but also significantly lowers the participation threshold for emerging ecosystems.

Under the overlay of multiple yields, a positive flywheel effect has been formed: more users participate → more Liquidity is injected → emerging ecosystem development accelerates → the value of yield-encapsulated assets increases → attracting more users to participate.

With the elevation of StakeStone LiquidityPad, it can better connect the emerging ecosystems in the cold start phase with the mature ecosystems of various yield scenarios, helping emerging public chains raise cold start funds and bringing excess returns back to the mature market.

This dynamic adaptation mechanism enhances the compound ability of asset returns, strengthening the market adaptability and competitiveness of StakeStone LiquidityPad. In the horse racing pattern of the multi-chain era, StakeStone LiquidityPad is expected to become a key lever for building liquidity niche assets and a thriving on-chain ecosystem.

In the future, with the accelerated expansion of the multi-chain ecosystem, StakeStone LiquidityPad is expected to become a core hub connecting emerging public chains with mature markets, providing users and protocol parties with more efficient and fair liquidity solutions. From the liquidity dilemma of "entropy increase" to the ecological prosperity driven by "flywheel effect", it redefines the liquidity infrastructure of Web3. This is not only an inevitable path for StakeStone to further improve the overall chain liquidity issue but also the optimal solution to propel the multi-chain ecosystem towards maturity.
