Overview
Stake DAO is a yield protocol that generates returns for users through liquid staking and governance token rewards. Participants deposit tokens to earn passive income, with the protocol facilitating liquidity and participation in various decentralized networks.
The protocol holds $154M in TVL across 164 active pools on five chains; Ethereum dominates at 93%, followed by Base at 4%. This indicates a significant concentration of assets on Ethereum, with emerging L2s like Base beginning to attract some liquidity.
Audit posture is light, with one audit reference available. The market cap of $8.6M is notably lower than TVL, reflecting the typical dynamic where protocol value exceeds token valuation in established DeFi projects.
