Angles Stake Review 2026: Liquid Staking on Sonic (anS)

Angles Stake is a liquid staking protocol built for the Sonic network. Users stake S, the network's native token, and receive anS, a liquid staking token that keeps earning staking rewards and can be used elsewhere in DeFi.

The homepage calls anS Sonic's leading liquid staking token and points to competitive rewards, deep liquidity and DeFi partnerships. Those claims are the project's own. Tracker data shows a small protocol, with roughly $282,000 in total value locked, listed since January 2025 and no token of its own.

A main draw is the Sonic Points link: holding anS or using it in DeFi qualifies for points, and Angles says it applies a 4x multiplier. The points are meant to raise weight in upcoming Sonic airdrops, which are outside Angles' control.

Staking S tokens helps secure the Sonic network and pays rewards. Normally staked tokens are tied up in the staking system. A liquid staking protocol like Angles holds the stake for you and gives you a receipt token, here called anS, which you can keep using.

The homepage describes three steps: stake S, receive anS and earn rewards, then use anS in DeFi. Because anS represents your staked S plus accrued rewards, it can be used in lending, liquidity or other apps on Sonic while the underlying stake keeps working.

Holding anS or using it in DeFi also counts toward the Sonic Points program. Angles says it adds a 4x multiplier for points that are intended to raise weight in future Sonic airdrops. How rewards are paid out, how validators are chosen and how unstaking works are matters for the docs, not the homepage.

Angles does not publish a fee schedule on its homepage. The page shows an APR figure, which is the net rate users see, but it does not break out any protocol commission on staking rewards.

Users also pay normal Sonic network gas for staking, unstaking and any DeFi use of anS. Check the docs and the staking interface for the current fee and withdrawal terms before depositing.

The homepage says Angles is audited by a firm it describes as one of the industry leaders in securing smart contracts, but the auditor's name is not in the text reviewed and the tracker data lists no audits. Read the linked audit report and see what was covered and whether issues were fixed.

Liquid staking adds smart-contract risk on top of validator risk. If the contracts fail, or anS loses liquidity or trades below the value of the S behind it, holders could lose money. The protocol is small, with about $282,000 in TVL, so liquidity can be thin. The team, custody setup and regulatory status are not stated on the homepage. Never stake more than you can afford to lose.

Angles Stake is for holders of S on Sonic who want staking rewards without locking up their tokens, and who are comfortable using DeFi apps. It also suits users chasing Sonic Points, as long as they accept that airdrops are not guaranteed. It is less suited to people who need a large, battle-tested protocol.
