The leading crypto exchange, Coinbase cloud announced the support along with Figment to develop the first enterprise-grade liquid staking protocol ‘Alluvial’.
For the smooth development of the Alluvial, the software development firm will be led by Matt Leisinger, former Head of Liquid Staking products at Figment; Nicolas Maurice, the former CTO of Kiln staking-as-a-service platform, and Mike Taormina, former Head of Institutional Business at the Index Cooperative.
Alluvial’s primary goal will be the protocol’s growth and enlargement of its ecosystem via building liquid staking standards. Also, to make a community-owned profile, the protocol will be governed in a decentralized manner by a DAO with numerous industry players.
The blog post on the website stated: “Liquid staking opens up opportunities to efficiently utilize staked assets as collateral to trade, lend, and provision quickly and strategically. Staking requires assets to be locked to use as collateral to support network security in return for earning rewards.”
The liquid staking provides edges over traditional staking as it doesn’t lock the access of staked tokens. Instead, it issues receipt tokens in return for staked tokens as an “evidence ownership”. Also, users can use these receipt tokens to participate in the broader Web economy.
Liquid staking is exponentially becoming popular among enterprises and institutions. Over the year, liquid staking on only Ethereum surged to around 30%.
Alluvial also makes mandatory KYC/AML (Anti Money Laundering) checks for all stakes. By doing so, enterprises and institutions can meet their needs of compliance. This will also provide enterprise-grade reliability and security to protocols.
However, the initial roll-out of liquid staking will be limited among distinct clients and cloud providers.
