As the financial markets fluctuate in 2026, holding tokens but not knowing how to increase their value? Actually, many people are using liquidity staking protocols to play new tricks.

Lista DAO has recently been very popular — it’s a DeFi project dedicated to liquidity staking and decentralized stablecoins. Simply put, it involves locking your assets like BNB, ETH into the protocol in exchange for liquidity tokens (such as slisBNB), which can continue to earn yields in other DeFi platforms. At the same time, you can use these assets to mint decentralized stablecoins like lisUSD. Multiple functions in one token—that’s what makes it attractive.

Many investors are starting to try this approach. The first step is the most straightforward — staking BNB to get slisBNB, earning staking rewards while keeping your assets alive, unlike traditional lock-ups that are rigid. Your funds aren’t frozen; instead, liquidity is released. Next, the second step is to use slisBNB to farm or provide liquidity in other DeFi protocols, effectively earning multiple streams of income from the same capital. If stability is desired, you can mint lisUSD with these assets, and the low volatility of stablecoins means you don’t have to worry about price drops.

Of course, the core still relies on the ecosystem incentives of the $LISTA token. This token carries the value flow of the entire protocol. Holding it allows participation in platform governance and profit sharing. So, those who truly want to master this system usually build a portfolio: staking basic assets → liquidity assets → stablecoins → native tokens, forming a closed-loop multi-yield matrix.

No matter how the market fluctuates, there are always new ways to combine these DeFi Lego blocks. The key is to understand the logic behind each step and avoid blindly following the trend.
