LsETH is a fungible receipt token based on the Ethereum ERC-20 cToken model. When a user deposits ETH to the Liquid Collective protocol, they receive LsETH that evidences their legal and beneficial ownership of the staked ETH as well as any network rewards that accrue to the staked ETH minus protocol service fees and network slashing penalties, if any.
Liquid Collective is the secure liquid staking standard: a protocol with multi-chain capabilities designed to meet the needs of institutions, built and run by a collective of leading web3 teams including The Liquid Foundation, Alluvial, Coinbase Cloud, Figment, Kiln, Rome Blockchain Labs, Kraken, Staked, and more. Liquid Collective will be governed in a decentralized manner by a broad and dispersed community of industry participants.
