Ranked list
- 1
ether.fi Stake
Staking · Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum +3
ether.fi Stake is a non-custodial Ethereum liquid staking protocol with about $4.6 billion in TVL. It has grown into a wider app for earning, borrowing and spending crypto, which adds scope but also complexity.
ScoreScore 7.8 out of 10TVL $4.22B−1.9% - 2
Tenderize V2
Staking · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Sei
Tenderize V2 is a liquid staking protocol that lets users stake to a validator of their choice and receive a token that stays usable in DeFi. It targets a niche of networks, and its small TVL means the main risks are liquidity and smart-contract exposure.
ScoreScore 6.4 out of 10TVL $263K+1.9% - 3
Liquid Finance
Staking · Arbitrum, Archway
Liquid Finance is a liquid staking protocol that issues sARCH for staked ARCH and offers a queue for faster redemptions. Its main trade-off is liquidity: regular unstaking can take up to 25 days, while instant unstaking costs 1% and depends on queue funds.
ScoreScore 6.0 out of 10TVL $57.3K+1.6% - 4
Stake Dao
Staking · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base +1
Stake DAO is a DeFi platform that lets holders of governance tokens lock them through liquid lockers and use yield strategies, with a lending market and a vote-marketplace layer. It suits users who already hold governance tokens and understand DeFi risk, and it is a poor fit for someone looking for a simple savings product.
ScoreScore 5.5 out of 10TVL — - 5
Parasail
Staking · Filecoin, Arbitrum
Parasail is a restaking and delegation protocol aimed at DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure) projects, with about $1.47M in TVL. It is early-stage and thinly documented publicly, so treat it as a higher-risk, research-first product.
ScoreScore 5.3 out of 10TVL $1.38M−5.1% - 6
OnyxDAO
Staking · Arbitrum
OnyxDAO is the app layer for the Onyx network and its XCN token, with liquid staking, swaps, bridging, farms and governance. Its tracked Arbitrum farm is tiny and no audits are listed.
ScoreScore 5.2 out of 10TVL $1.46K−0.6% - 7
ZooDAO
Staking · Moonbeam, Arbitrum
ZooDAO is a dApp that lets NFT holders stake NFTs to earn DeFi-sourced yield, presented as a game with community voting. The project does not publish a full mechanism breakdown, fee schedule or named audit reports in the sources reviewed.
