Stader Labs brings liquid staking to Fantom

With liquid staking, you can unlock the value of staked FTM (sFTM). Staking is at the core of the Fantom network, securing the chain and allowing users to participate in governance. Stader Labs allows users to use sFTM to mint liquid staking tokens, which can be used across the Fantom DeFi landscape to earn additional yield. This will unlock the value of the 1.38 Billion FTM tokens currently staked on Fantom.

Besides that, you can easily delegate your stake across different validators with Stader.
