# Liquid staking for tokens

**Liquid staking** is a mechanism that allows users to stake crypto assets while simultaneously receiving liquid token representations of their staked assets. These liquid-staked tokens can be freely traded, utilized in yield-generating strategies, or used as collateral within the broader DeFi ecosystem, effectively combining the benefits of staking rewards and liquidity.

Watt Protocol introduces the first liquid-staking service for Solana tokens. Any token can be wrapped into its liquid-staked representation, enabling users to simply **wrap, hold, and earn yield**.

Moreover, since liquid-staked Watt tokens are **fully composable**, they create new possibilities for product design, allowing other protocols and applications on Solana to freely integrate and take advantage of the intrinsic yield of Watt tokens.
