The principal liquid staking protocol on BNB Chain, holding $575m with published audits and integration into a wider lending and stablecoin system.
Our assessment
Lista's liquid staking holds $575m with two audits and reports linked, making it the principal route to staked BNB with a liquid derivative. It sits inside a wider system that also runs a lending market and issues a stablecoin.
Integration is the whole proposition
A staking derivative is only useful if something accepts it. Because Lista also operates the lending market and the stablecoin, its derivative has guaranteed collateral acceptance from day one — the bootstrapping problem that kills most independent staking derivatives. That vertical integration is why it leads on its chain.
The same integration concentrates risk
Staking, lending and stablecoin issuance in one system means a failure in any component reaches the others. Your staked position backs a derivative used as collateral in a market that supports a stablecoin, all governed together. Assess it as one system, because that is what it is.
Evidence position
Two audits with linked reports and documented mechanics place it in the top group of our liquid staking comparison. Depth at $575m provides workable secondary liquidity within its ecosystem, though less outside it.
Who it suits
Lista fits BNB Chain users who want liquid staked BNB usable across that ecosystem's DeFi. Ethereum stakers should use Lido, Rocket Pool or StakeWise.

Frequently asked
Does this score mean Lista Liquid Staking is safe?
No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published methodology and independently recorded market data. Contract risk is not tested by us.
Where do the TVL and audit figures come from?
A public analytics dataset queried at the verification date, plus the audit reports it links. Both are re-runnable by anyone.
Why do some protocols score zero on audits?
Because no audit report is linked in the public record. The indicator records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit exists.
