The success of Ethereum's liquid staking (LSD) solution has demonstrated that it is valuable for any blockchain ecosystem.
LSD allows users to stake L1 tokens while retaining control over them and using them as regular tokens for other dApps.

I noted 4 trends in the LSD industry:
1. DeFi Integration
2. Permissionless Node
3. Multi-Chain
4. Real Yield
Let's take a look.

1. DeFi Integration
Liquid staking is becoming an essential part of #DeFi. It enables users to use their staked assets as collateral for lending, trade them on DEXs, or participate in liquidity pools.

We can expect to see a wide range of innovative applications for LSD in DeFi, from index investing to aggregation and from farming to leverage strategies.
For instance, @indexcoop recently launched a Diversified Staked ETH Index.

2. Permissionless Node
Many protocols have launched or announced nodes that can be run without permission. By using these LSD protocols, users can run permissionless nodes and earn rewards as fees from protocol users, with no track record or performance history required.

Ethereum liquid stacking is now centralized, which brings risks. To address this, the Permissionless node approach plays a crucial role in LSD decentralizing. @Rocket_Pool and @staderlabs_eth are key players in this trend.
3. Multi-Chain
Although Ethereum is currently leading the liquid staking trend, other chains are also actively developing similar solutions. LSD will likely become the standard for any PoS blockchain in the future.

The success of LSD on Ethereum is undeniable. Although the adoption of liquid staking on other chains is currently limited, it's expected to gain traction.
4. Real Yield
One of the general trends of Crypto is Real Yield, and liquid staking projects are no exception. Holders of native tokens can earn a share of the protocol revenue. Liquid staking projects are fit for this trend as they generate fees constantly.

For example, @staderlabs introduced a real yield use-case for their token, $SD.
We should expect something similar from other projects.

Some closing thoughts
Liquid staking started with Ethereum in 2022, driven by the Merge and upcoming Shanghai update, and has since become a vital part of its ecosystem.

The Ethereum staking ratio is about 15% but is expected to grow by 10% over the next 1-2 years. The share of LSD is already at 40%, and if this figure remains constant, the TVL of liquid staking may grow significantly.

This trend is spreading to other blockchains. There will be more and more similar projects in other ecosystems.
We can expect that LSD will likely become a base element of any DeFi ecosystem, like DEXs and Lending.
