We’re excited to share that Liquid Collective is now officially deployed on Base!
Expanding access for Liquid Collective’s liquid staking tokens to Base will bring the convenience and cost-efficiency of layer 2 (L2) transactions to Liquid Collective’s stakers and developers, representing a step forward in Liquid Collective’s mission to make secure, transparent staking accessible to everyone, including both institutional and individual participants.
Bridge to Base with Chainlink CCIP
The bridging of Liquid Collective liquid staking tokens from Ethereum mainnet to Base is made possible by the Chainlink standard for secure cross-chain interoperability, Chainlink CCIP, which enables tokens to be securely transferred across blockchains. Chainlink’s battle-tested and decentralized infrastructure helps maintain robust security standards aligned with Liquid Collective’s focus on providing a security-focused staking ecosystem.
In addition to interacting with Chainlink CCIP directly or using one’s preferred CCIP-compatible tool, Liquid Collective will be added for front-end bridging support on CCIP-powered bridges.
Why Base?
Base is a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack. It’s designed to bring the next wave of users onchain by making decentralized apps more accessible, all while benefiting from Ethereum’s security.
Since its launch in 2023, Base has surged to become the second-largest L2 on Ethereum by total value secured and the top L2 on Ethereum by average user operations per second.
Bridging Liquid Collective’s staking tokens to Base will make it simpler for users and builders to tap into liquid staking, minimize transaction fees, and discover new DeFi strategies.
This deployment creates an open, interoperable environment where:
- Costs are Lower: Users can move liquid staking tokens at reduced transaction fees compared to Ethereum mainnet.
- Transactions are Faster: Shorter block times enable a smoother experience for DeFi integrations and everyday activity.
- Ecosystem Growth: Bridging to Base will unlock a deeper synergy with lending protocols and other DeFi tools launched in Base’s robust DeFi ecosystem, opening the door for deeper Liquid Collective DeFi integrations.
- Security Remains the Focus: Whether on the L1 or L2s, a security-focused staking experience remains the top priority for Liquid Collective. Deploying to Base through Chainlink’s CCIP maintains a bridging experience that meets Liquid Collective’s institutional-grade standards.
