What are LSTs, what they could be, and most importantly, how they actually serve people.
Let’s simplify the noise. A short thread 🧵

Most people stake and forget.

LSTs change that.

They turn staking from a passive, siloed activity into something composable, liquid, and usable across an ecosystem.

sMON isn’t just a receipt of staked MON.

It’s your ticket to participate, whether you want to LP, use it as collateral, or access early DeFi incentives.

LSTs are still early.

If done right, transparent, composable, and community-led, they become the foundation for everything else.

That’s the bet we’re making at @kintsu and sMON

But decentralisation matters.

A single protocol or team shouldn't decide where staked MON goes.

That’s why Kintsu is building toward community-curated validator selection.

The power of the stake should sit with the people.
