Liquid Staking Protocols
Nefarious automatically detects liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) in any wallet — Solana SPL and EVM ERC-20 alike. Each LST is resolved to its underlying-asset value via the live on-chain exchange rate, so the position you get back is the SOL-equivalent (or ETH-equivalent, or BTC-equivalent) value, not the receipt-token quantity. Restaking tickets, MEV-boosted variants, validator-curated pools and cross-chain wrappers are all handled the same way.
Solana
Stake pools, MEV-boosted LSTs, restaking and LRTs, BTC-backed and cross-chain wrappers
EVM
LSTs and restaking tickets across major staking ecosystems and L2s
Unified schema
Same fields whether the token represents 1.15x staked SOL, an EVM restaking receipt, or a BTC-LST
How It Works
Liquid staking tokens are standard SPL or ERC-20 tokens held in your wallet. Nefarious detects them on the wallet scan, fetches the current exchange rate from the underlying staking protocol, and reports the position with the SOL/ETH/BTC-equivalent value in USD.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | stake | All LST positions are surfaced as stake |
| category | lst | The protocol object always carries category lst |
Enriched Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| exchangeRate | number | Current LST-to-underlying exchange rate (e.g. 1.1542 SOL per JitoSOL) |
| pendingUnstake | number | Amount queued for unstaking, if the wallet has an open unstake request |
| apy | number | Current staking yield surfaced by the issuing protocol, when available |
Pricing always goes through the on-chain exchange rate, not a DEX market price. This matters when an LST depegs from its underlying (e.g. during a stress event) — the value reflects what the LST is worth at the staking layer, not what a forced seller would get on a DEX.

What we cover
Across both ecosystems we resolve the major stake pools, MEV-boosted variants, validator-curated single-issuer pools, restaking tickets and LRTs, plus cross-chain wrappers (e.g. BTC-backed LSTs). Niche issuers ship continuously as they gain adoption — if you don't see one returned for a wallet you expect, let us know.
Looking for a specific LST?
The exhaustive list of indexed LSTs/LRTs is shared with active customers. If you're evaluating a specific issuer — stake pool, restaking, MEV-boosted, BTC-backed, cross-chain — book a call and we'll confirm coverage (and ship the integration if it's missing).
