What Staked Aave is
Staked Aave (STKAAVE) is a liquid-staking / restaking derivative token, currently ranked 143rd by market capitalization among the assets we track. Rather than locking assets to stake, holders of Staked Aave hold a liquid claim on a staked position. That claim earns yield and can be redeployed, which is why liquid-staking tokens became DeFi collateral staples.
Staked Aave (STKAAVE) is a token that represents staked Aave and is used to enhance the protocol's security while allowing users to earn rewards. It is a part of the Aave ecosystem that incentivizes users to participate in liquidity provision.
How the yield and peg work
The token earns because the capital it represents is busy securing a proof-of-stake network. Redemption depends on unstaking mechanics, so liquidity can tighten exactly when markets are stressed.
