LSTs are, put simply, a way to stake ETH in exchange for liquidity, then stake it again to stack another layer of yield—it sounds like Russian nesting dolls. Where does the yield come from? Validator rewards, MEV tips, token subsidies from restaking projects, and the price spread if you bet on the right direction. But the risks also stack up—validator slashing, smart contract vulnerabilities, liquidity drying up, and now cross-chain bridges as another potential landmine. There have been quite a few bridge hacks lately. Some protocols have learned their lesson and now simply “wait for confirmation” when oracle prices look abnormal—they would rather be slower than feed in incorrect data. Personally, I won’t put all my ETH in one basket. I’ll keep some spot ETH on hand to stay a little more at ease. Talk again next time
