BENQI Liquid Staked AVAX (sAVAX) is a liquid staking derivative token operating on the Avalanche network. It embodies staked AVAX, enabling holders to earn staking rewards while retaining a tradeable and composable asset.
The token unlocks the liquidity of staked AVAX—an asset class traditionally locked and inert. By depositing AVAX into the BENQI protocol, a user receives sAVAX, an interest-accruing receipt token. That simple mint-and-redeem mechanism dissolves the barrier between staking and active capital deployment across decentralized finance markets.
BENQI Liquid Staked AVAX operates on the Avalanche network. Its smart contracts reside on the C-Chain, inheriting the subnet’s high throughput and sub-second finality. No separate consensus layer governs the token; it relies wholly on Avalanche’s primary infrastructure.
The sAVAX token conforms to the ERC-20 standard on Avalanche’s C-Chain, as evidenced by the contract interface on Snowtrace. This EVM compatibility grants it instant interoperability with wallets, exchanges, and the sprawling Avalanche DeFi ecosystem. The underlying staking logic is managed by BENQI’s audited contracts, which handle validator delegations and reward distribution.
No single founder is publicly associated with the sAVAX token; it emerged from the BENQI Finance project, which launched the first liquid staking protocol on Avalanche. The deployment filled a structural void: prior to its existence, staked AVAX could not be used elsewhere. sAVAX rapidly gained traction as a core liquidity primitive, embedding itself in lending pools and yield aggregators.
The overarching mission is to forge a capital-efficient environment where staked assets retain full economic utility. By stripping away the opportunity cost of staking, the protocol enables a fluid, interconnected DeFi landscape. This vision rejects the siloed nature of legacy proof-of-stake participation.
Mechanically, sAVAX is not a rebasing token; its value accrues through a rising exchange rate against AVAX. When a user stakes AVAX, the protocol mints a corresponding amount of sAVAX at the current rate. To exit, one burns sAVAX to reclaim the original AVAX plus accrued rewards, net of any penalties.
Validators staking through BENQI delegate their AVAX to the network’s consensus, securing the chain. sAVAX holders, in turn, can supply their tokens to money markets like Aave or Benqi’s own lending platform, borrowing stablecoins or other assets against the collateral. Yield farmers compound returns by staking sAVAX in DeFi pools, amplifying exposure.
BENQI Liquid Staked AVAX has a total supply of 22,553,018.59 tokens. Currently, 22,553,018.59 are in circulation. With a market capitalization of $268,718,874, BENQI Liquid Staked AVAX ranks #8,337 among all cryptocurrencies.
