Stake DAO
Stake DAO uses liquid lockers and governance tokens to boost liquidity provider yields through its DeFi strategies.
About Stake DAO
Stake DAO offers Strategies where users deposit LP tokens or single assets such as stablecoins, ETH and BTC, with additional yield directed by the protocol's locked governance voting power. Holders of CRV, FXN or YB can deposit them into Liquid Lockers to receive tradable sdTokens, and SDT holders can stake for vlSDT to take part in governance and receive a share of weekly protocol fees.
The site also provides lending against boosted LP positions without unstaking, powered by Morpho, weekly gauge voting through Votemarket, and a Boost Marketplace for renting voting power. Tokens deposited in Liquid Lockers are locked permanently, and exiting vlSDT requires an 8-week withdrawal queue.

Stake DAO FAQ
Do I need to lock tokens to use a Strategy?
No. You deposit LP tokens or single assets, and the boost comes from the protocol's governance power, not your own.
What happens to governance tokens deposited in Liquid Lockers?
Stake DAO locks the underlying CRV, FXN or YB permanently and issues a tradable sdToken that can be sold, staked or used elsewhere.
How does exiting vlSDT work?
Staking SDT for vlSDT is 1:1 with no minimum, no cliff and no voting-power decay, and exit is through an 8-week withdrawal queue.
