Score history
This rating is re-checked every month. A point is recorded for every check, so a flat line means we looked and nothing moved. Hover anywhere on the chart to see what moved that month, and by how much.
The Problem
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.
The Solution
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).
Why it Matters
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.
