What is sMON?

sMON is minted by staking MON via Kintsu

It gives you:
 • Continuous staking rewards
 • Always usable in DeFi
 • Composable across protocols

🟣 Bean DEX
 https://bean.exchange

- Swap between MON and sMON with no loss of staking yield
- LP with sMON pairs and earn fees while still compounding
- Bean integrates sMON directly into routing and liquidity

Efficient markets start with yield-bearing assets.

🟢 Nostra Finance

https://monad.nostra.finance/lend-borrow/SMON/deposit
 
- Deposit sMON to earn interest + staking rewards
- Use sMON as collateral to borrow without unstaking
- Stay liquid, while staying staked

This is what capital efficiency looks like.

🔵 Caddy Finance
 
https://alpha.caddy.finance/options?token=stmon-usd

- Trade structured products using sMON
- Earn from both staking rewards and options premiums
- All positions are liquid, no lockups, no cooldowns
- Vault Yields - coming soon

Stacking yield just got more strategic.

All of this is already live on testnet.

And even now, sMON is earning staking rewards.
You can:
- Stake MON → mint sMON: https://kintsu.xyz/staking
- Use sMON across Bean, Nostra, and Caddy
- Explore yield-driven strategies ahead of mainnet

Kintsu’s approach to liquid staking is built for real DeFi.

sMON is not just a receipt, it's a yield-bearing building block for the Monad ecosystem.
