Liquid Collective—an enterprise-grade liquid staking network built and supported by a broad collective of industry leaders—and Chainlink Labs are excited to announce a collaboration to accelerate the adoption of highly secure multi-chain liquid staking solutions. Liquid Collective has adopted the Chainlink standard for secure cross-chain interoperability, while also adopting the Chainlink standard for verifiable market data on Base and Ethereum mainnet.
Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) enables Liquid Collective’s Liquid Staked ETH (LsETH) to be securely transferred across blockchains, while Chainlink Price Feeds will help support secure markets around LsETH. The integration will unlock new opportunities for every user, blockchain, and blue-chip DeFi protocol building with LsETH in DeFi.
Advancing Multi-Chain Liquid Staking via the Liquid Collective Protocol
Liquid Collective is an enterprise-grade liquid staking protocol designed to meet the security and participation needs of institutional participants, like funds, treasuries, and asset managers, while remaining freely transferable and interoperable for any staker to use. Developed by a collective of leading web3 teams, it will launch a decentralized governance model in 2025 and aims to provide multi-chain liquid staking capabilities, starting with Ethereum. As part of this collaboration, the Chainlink Foundation will also be using Liquid Collective to access ETH network rewards as LsETH is unique in meeting the participation requirements of institutions through a distributed, multi-provider model.
Liquid staking enables token holders to stake assets while maintaining liquidity, through the issuance of a receipt token that can be traded or used in DeFi applications. Unlike traditional staking, which involves bonding and unbonding periods, Liquid Collective provides access to enhanced capital efficiency and flexibility. It stands out by offering a unified, standardized solution with a focus on security, compliance, and enterprise-grade infrastructure, making it an attractive liquid staking option for both institutional and crypto-native participants.
A New Standard for Security and Transparency
“Our collaboration with Liquid Collective reflects a mutual commitment to advancing the future of multi-chain liquid staking,” said Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs. “By integrating Chainlink CCIP and Price Feeds, Liquid Collective will establish a robust, scalable environment that strengthens the security and capabilities of LsETH and significantly drives innovation and utility within decentralized finance.”
Mara Schmiedt, CEO & Co-Founder at Alluvial, a team supporting Liquid Collective’s development, echoed this sentiment: “Liquid Collective's collaboration with Chainlink, and the Chainlink Foundation's use of LsETH to access ETH network rewards, underscores a shared commitment to building institutional-grade products for decentralized finance. Leveraging Chainlink CCIP and Price Feeds will help Liquid Collective expand secure and flexible liquid staking across ecosystems while maintaining the highest security standards."
