## Accelerating Liquid Staking Adoption

Bifrost’s RSP empowers collaborators to earn revenue by helping onboard users into liquid staking — earning commissions for every **vToken** minted through their channels. This incentive model is driving liquidity, interoperability, and user education for core assets such as **vDOT** and **vASTR**, while deepening Bifrost’s multi-chain strategy.

## Why Projects Are Integrating RSP

Joining the RSP allows any project, dApp, or community to:

* Enable **instant liquid staking onboarding**
* **Share revenue** via commissions on vToken mints
* Increase **TVL, user activity & ecosystem stickiness**

As Bifrost scales across Web3 networks, the influence of its RSP collaborators becomes even more critical. By working together, the industry is paving a future where staking is not only more liquid — but also more connected and widely accessible.

Bifrost is a dedicated **liquid staking appchain** built with the Polkadot SDK

CROSS

DEFI

Polkadot

**Bifrost** is a dedicated **liquid staking appchain** built with the **Polkadot SDK**, offering cross-chain staking solutions for multiple blockchain ecosystems. Its mission is to let users earn staking rewards while keeping their assets liquid, secure, and usable in DeFi.

### **From Ethereum to a Custom Appchain**

Bifrost’s first product, **vETH**, launched in 2020 on Ethereum. While successful, Ethereum’s smart contract limitations—such as restricted security controls, limited fee optimization, and no custom governance—slowed innovation. Liquidity was also fragmented across chains.

These issues led Bifrost to develop a **sovereign appchain** on Polkadot, enabling:

* Custom governance and upgrade flexibility
* Unified liquid staking token (LST) issuance
* Cross-chain transfers via **XCM**
* Shared security from Polkadot’s relay chain

### **Strong Market Position**

Since the migration, Bifrost has:

* Captured **60% of DOT LST market share**
* Exceeded **\$125M in TVL**
* Processed **2.9M+ transactions** and **180k cross-chain messages**
* enabled **vDOT** holders to join **OpenGov governance**, a first in liquid staking

### **Next Steps: Expanding vETH**

By early 2025, Bifrost plans to:

Launch **native vETH minting** on Polkadot

Expand vETH across all Polkadot parachains via **SLPx protocol**

Deploy vETH to Ethereum Layer 2s—starting with **Base** and later other Optimism-based L2s through **Hyperbridge**

Bifrost’s evolution from Ethereum to Polkadot has redefined cross-chain liquid staking. With a dominant position in DOT staking, governance integration, and upcoming vETH expansion, Bifrost is poised to become the leading bridge between **Polkadot** and **Ethereum L2 DeFi** ecosystems.

Bifrost Liquid Staking: Cross-Chain DeFi Growth on Polkadot and Ethereum L2s

Bifrost’s TVL has nearly doubled (\~100% increase) since April

In the world of DeFi, Total Value Locked (TVL) serves as a key indicator of ecosystem activity and health. A recent report from Token Terminal confirmed that **Bifrost’s TVL has nearly doubled (\~100% increase) since April**, signaling robust momentum within the Polkadot ecosystem

This growth isn’t happening in isolation. Polkadot itself is seeing rising interest—particularly in stablecoins, as monthly active USDC sender addresses on the Asset Hub have surged by approximately 300%, climbing from near-zero in 2023 to roughly 1,000 monthly addresses in 2025

Let's dig into what’s driving this resurgence, how it reflects Polkadot’s broader strengths, and what it means for DeFi users and innovators alike.

Bifrost Dominates the DOT LST Space

As of mid-year, Polkadot’s parachains collectively held about \$196 million in TVL, with Bifrost accounting for roughly \$44 million—positioning it among the top DeFi parachains alongside Acala and Hydration

Significantly, Bifrost has captured over 70% of the DOT Liquid Staked Token (LST) market, with its Protocol’s TVL exceeding \$90 million. This dominance reflects both strong user confidence and effective product-market fit within the Polkadot financial stack

Why Bifrost’s TVL Is Booming

Several factors explain its rapid growth:

Yield-Seeking Amid Inflation Reduction: Polkadot’s inflation was recently reduced from 10% to 8%, leading to diminishing native staking returns. Investors are turning to LST platforms like Bifrost to find higher yields and compensate for this drag

Cross-Chain Accessibility: Bifrost leverages Polkadot’s multi-chain interoperability via XCM, enabling seamless asset flow across parachains and beyond. This attracts liquidity and encourages broader participation

Stablecoin Momentum: With Asset Hub seeing the USDC usage surge, users are bridging stablecoins and connecting them to liquidity and yield-farming platforms, including Bifrost and its derivatives

Strong Foundation: Polkadot’s high throughput, security, and scalability (e.g., 143k TPS during stress tests) and growing developer activity provide a solid foundation for platforms like Bifrost to thrive

**Polkadot: Core Strengths Backing DeFi Growth**

Polkadot's Architecture

Built around a robust, modular architecture, Polkadot enables parachains to share security while supporting scalable, specialized application execution

High Interoperability

Its XCM standard facilitates frictionless value transfer across parachains, enabling seamless DeFi composability—Bifrost.

Developer & Decentralization Leader

With a high Nakamoto coefficient and consistently ranking among the top ecosystems for developer activity, Polkadot exemplifies decentralization and blockchain innovation

Bifrost’s LST methodologies play well into Polkadot’s broader DeFi offerings. It provides:

Liquid stake assets

High-yield opportunities for stakers seeking more than raw staking returns

A key access point for cross-chain liquidity and asset utilization

Bifrost’s 100% TVL growth since April is more than just a headline—it’s a signal of maturation for Polkadot DeFi. As staking rewards soften, users pivot toward yield-rich, liquid instruments like DOT LST, and Bifrost is the top beneficiary.

Combined with Polkadot’s technical prowess—in throughput, interoperability, and developer activity—this growth reflects a deeper structural shift toward cross-chain, AI-powered, and user-centric finance.

For DeFi users and builders, the message is clear: Polkadot has entered a new phase, and Bifrost is leading the wave. Whether you’re providing liquidity, building applications, or seeking yield, the time to explore this expanding ecosystem is now.
