Staking is coming to Starknet, and we're excited to be part of this milestone. Here's why this matters for you.

The Foundation: Zero-Commission Staking

Staking is fundamental to any blockchain ecosystem – it's how you participate in securing the network while earning rewards. Powered by Karnot's zero-commission nodes, with Native Staking you receive 100% of your staking yields, with minimal risk and zero commission.

Beyond Basic Staking: Eliminating Opportunity Costs

However, traditional staking comes with a trade-off: your locked STRK cannot participate in DeFi opportunities.

Securing the network shouldn’t come with an opportunity cost.

Endur: Bringing Endurance to the Ecosystem

Karnot has joined hands with StrkFarm, to create Endur, standing for our vision of endurance, commitment, and growth of the Starknet ecosystem. With Endur, we bring xSTRK: a liquid staking solution that combines the best of both worlds.

With xSTRK, you can:

• Earn the base staking yield

• Maintain full liquidity of your assets

• Participate in DeFi Spring strategies

• Use your staked assets across the ecosystem

xSTRK: An Ecosystem-First Approach

While there are several LSTs on Starknet, xSTRK is built with a focus on ecosystem-wide utility. As long-standing members of the ecosystem, we recognize the need for a neutral, high-quality LST that can seamlessly integrate across all platforms.

Working with StrkFarm

We're thrilled to announce that xSTRK is being developed in partnership with StrkFarm. Their team has been an integral part of the ecosystem for over 2 years, and their track record in building robust ERC 4626 architecture makes them the perfect partner to bring xSTRK to fruition. StrkFarm's expertise will be instrumental in ensuring xSTRK's technical excellence and long-term success.

Security First

Every xSTRK contract undergoes thorough auditing, ensuring your funds only interact with verified, secure code.

Integration Ecosystem

xSTRK is designed for seamless integration across Starknet's DeFi landscape, with a vision to evolve xSTRK into Starknet’s most liquid LST. xSTRK will be available on DEXs and Market Makers from Day 1. We envision these integrations to further develop with time, allowing the design of complex DeFi instruments atop xSTRK.

The Future of Staking

xSTRK introduces ecosystem-wide utility empowering DeFi innovation and boosting network security for Starknet. This marks just the beginning of our commitment to growing the ecosystem.
