Overview
Kintsu is a liquid staking protocol that generates yield for token holders by staking their assets on behalf of users and distributing rewards proportionally. Participants earn staking returns without the need to manage individual stakes.
The protocol holds $2.6M in TVL across 1 active pool on 1 chain, with Monad dominating at 98% and Hyperliquid L1 contributing 2%. This indicates a high concentration risk on Monad, though it also suggests strong adoption within that ecosystem.
Kintsu has undergone 1 public audit. Token economics data is unavailable, but the protocol maintains an official website.
