Staked SCRT (stkd-SCRT) is a liquid staking derivative built by Shade Protocol enabling users to secure Secret Network and other application protocols without exposing their privacy, all while earning staking rewards.
Simply purchase or mint a liquid staking derivative (such as stkd-SCRT) and immediately start to privately accumulate staking rewards while simultaneously putting your staking derivatives to work with liquidity providing, lending, trading, and more.

With stkd-SCRT, users are able to move, trade, and leverage their locked staking assets by minting or buying a liquid token representation of these underlying positions (in the form of stkd-SCRT). This unlocks an incredible amount of value for users, and helps power Shade Protocol and Secret Network DeFi.
