Liquid Collective is an enterprise-grade liquid staking standard issuing LsETH (Ethereum) and LsSOL (Solana). KYC-gated minting through institutional platforms with multi-layered slashing coverage and a curated validator set.
LsETH is issued through a KYC-gated, permissioned pipeline — institutional depositors, curated Node Operators, a 10% Protocol Service Fee, and multi-layer slashing coverage work together to produce a non-rebasing receipt token.
Primary mint and redemption of LsETH requires KYC verification through a vetted institutional platform. The on-chain Allowlist contract enforces this at the protocol layer. Secondary trading on DEXes (Uniswap V3) remains permissionless.
Deposit ETH via any listed platform. The platform passes the depositor address to the on-chain Allowlist, then calls the River contract on the user's behalf.

Institutions need a compliance-aware liquid staking solution: traditional LSTs like stETH have unrestricted mint paths that complicate KYC/AML, lack contractual slashing coverage, and are operated by a smaller validator set that fails enterprise concentration requirements.
Liquid Collective issues LsETH through an on-chain Allowlist gated by KYC-compliant platforms, delegates stake to a vetted multi-firm node operator set, and layers three lines of slashing protection (operator deductible + Coverage Fund + Nexus Mutual).
The only liquid staking standard with built-in regulatory compliance gating (KYC allowlist), contractual slashing coverage via Nexus Mutual, and a formal Node Operator Risk Standard (NORS). Backed by a collective of enterprise infrastructure firms rather than a single DAO.
