With liquid staking starting to gain ground on BNB Chain, multichain stablecoin swapping protocol Wombat Exchange is set to offer more utility to its users by launching its own liquid staking pool on BNB.

Liquid staking has been the hottest topic on @BNBCHAIN 🔥 - we're glad to announce there'll be a #liquidstaking pool on Wombat soon! 🥳

It offers the same benefits as staking, but with FEWER disadvantages.

Wombat’s liquid staking on BNB allows users to stake their BNB coins to get yields and use their liquid-staked BNB tokens, primarily BEP-20 tokens, across DeFi protocols on BNB Chain to earn more yields. According to data from Dune Analytics, currently the only liquid staking providers on BNB are ANKR, Stader Labs and Pstake Finance.

Nearly 64,000 BNB coins have been staked with these protocols (more than $19 million). The aggregate Total Value Locked (TVL) across these three protocols is $20.4 million.

Independent from its main pool, Wombat Exchange will launch a separate liquid staking pool that will list yield-bearing tokens such as BNB, BNBx, and stkBNB.

Due to the volatile nature of staking pools, Wombat Exchange intends to implement a stricter coverage ratio for the tokens listed, so that extra fees are levied against users who trade too far from the tokens’ pegged prices.

By separating the pool, risk will be isolated. It will not affect the main pool, which consists of well-established and time-tested stablecoins like $USDT, $USDC, $DAI, and $BUSD.🔐

Further, upon the launch of Wombat’s liquid staking pool, users can instantly swap within the assets listed on the pool. They will not have to wait for the unlocking and redemption period, which typically takes one to three weeks for yield-bearing tokens.

Finally, giving more utility to its native token WOM, users who stake BNBx and stkBNB on Wombat Exchange will earn yields in the form of WOM and BNB tokens.

8/ And, of course, let's not forget the juicy rewards! Staking $BNBx $stkBNB on Wombat will earn you $WOM + $BNB yield. 💰

Further details on the APR and fees will be released soon, so stay tuned!
