Bifrost is a Liquid Staking app-chain tailored for all blockchains, utilizing decentralized cross-chain interoperability to empower users to earn staking rewards and DeFi yields with flexibility, liquidity, and high security across multiple chains. The easiest way to understand Bifrost is to see it as a derivative issuer that provides liquidity for all pledged assets, issuing corresponding shadow assets during the bonding period of the original assets. At the same time, the shadow asset is a fungible Token that can be circulated in different DEXs, pools, protocols and across chains.
As a DeFi protocol, Bifrost is aiming to solve the following issues in PoS ecosystems:
- The paradox between staking rewards and DeFi yields.
- The balance between staking/circulating tokens and security of PoS chains.
- Staking rewards in cross-chain scenario.
According to the questions above, Bifrost's solution vToken (liquid staking voucher Token) enables users to convert their PoS tokens into vTokens in order to obtain staking liquidity and staking rewards synchronously, without barriers in cross-chain scenarios.
