Tenderize
Staking protocol that enables users to stake tokens and earn rewards without locking tokens.

What is Tenderize?
Tenderize is a liquid staking protocol pioneering what it calls Liquid Staking 2.0 — an approach that enables staking without lockups while preserving a decentralized validator set. Founded in December 2021 by Nico Vergauwen, Tenderize lets users stake cryptocurrencies to receive staking rewards and tenderTokens, which are 1:1 ERC-20 derivatives of the underlying deposit that can be freely traded or used in DeFi. Tenderize currently supports Sei, Livepeer, The Graph, and Polygon, with Hyperliquid support planned. The ecosystem includes BeefyBank for borrowing stablecoins against staked positions, Liquid Delegation for choosing specific validators, and TenderSwap for instant unstaking. The $WAGYU token serves as the value accrual and governance token of the Tenderize ecosystem.
