description	Liquid staking via Endur on Starknet — stake STRK to receive xSTRK, redeem xSTRK back to STRK, check positions, and view protocol stats. Yield is embedded in the xSTRK share price (no manual claim needed). Use this skill when the user mentions liquid staking, LST, xSTRK, Endur, liquid staking token, share price, instant staking, tradeable staking position, or wants a staking token they can trade or use in DeFi — even if they don't say "liquid staking" explicitly.

Liquid Staking (Endur LST)

Stake STRK tokens through the Endur liquid staking protocol to receive xSTRK — a liquid staking token whose value appreciates over time as staking yield accrues automatically.

Prerequisites

• Active session required.
• Sufficient STRK balance for staking + gas fees.

⚠️ Critical: Yield Model

Endur LST yield is NOT a claimable reward. The xSTRK share price increases automatically to reflect accumulated staking yield. To realize your yield, redeem xSTRK back to STRK — you will receive more STRK than you originally staked.

Do NOT use the staking skill's rewards --claim or rewards --compound for xSTRK positions. Those commands are for delegation staking only.

LST vs Delegation Staking

Feature	Delegation Staking (staking skill)	Endur LST (lst skill)
Token received	None (position tracked on-chain)	xSTRK (ERC-20, tradeable)
Yield mechanism	Manual claim via rewards --claim	Automatic via share price
Liquidity	Locked until unstake cooldown	Liquid — trade xSTRK anytime
DeFi composability	Limited	xSTRK usable in Troves, lending
Unstaking	2-step process with cooldown	Instant redemption

Rules

1. BEFORE staking, check balance --token STRK to confirm sufficient STRK.
2. Use lst-stats to check the current exchange rate, total STRK staked, and APR before staking.
3. Use lst-position to check the user's current xSTRK balance and its STRK value.
4. NEVER suggest using rewards --claim or rewards --compound for LST positions. Yield is automatic.
5. When the user asks about "how much yield" from LST, show lst-position which displays the current STRK value vs original deposit.
6. AFTER any transactional operation (stake, redeem, exit-all), verify with tx-status.
7. lst-exit-all redeems the entire xSTRK balance — warn the user before executing.

Examples

User: "What's the current LST exchange rate?"

npx starkfi@latest lst-stats

User: "Stake 1000 STRK via liquid staking"

npx starkfi@latest status
npx starkfi@latest balance --token STRK
npx starkfi@latest lst-stats   # Check current exchange rate
npx starkfi@latest lst-stake 1000
npx starkfi@latest tx-status <hash>

User: "How much is my xSTRK worth?"

npx starkfi@latest lst-position

User: "Redeem 500 xSTRK back to STRK"

npx starkfi@latest lst-position  # Check available xSTRK balance
npx starkfi@latest lst-redeem 500
npx starkfi@latest tx-status <hash>

User: "Exit all my liquid staking"

npx starkfi@latest lst-position  # Show what will be redeemed
# WARN: This redeems all xSTRK. Confirm with user.
npx starkfi@latest lst-exit-all
npx starkfi@latest tx-status <hash>

User: "Should I use regular staking or liquid staking?"

# Show both options for comparison
npx starkfi@latest lst-stats          # LST: exchange rate, APR
npx starkfi@latest validators         # Delegation: validator list
# Explain: LST = liquid + auto-yield; Delegation = locked + manual claim

Error Handling

Error	Action
Insufficient balance	Check balance --token STRK for staking, or lst-position for redeem.
Not authenticated	Run authenticate-wallet skill first.

Related Skills

• Use balance to check available STRK before staking.
• Use staking for delegation staking (validator-based, manual reward claims).
• Use troves to deposit xSTRK into yield vaults for additional yield.
• Use portfolio for a full overview including LST positions with USD values.
• Use batch to combine swaps with liquid staking in one transaction.
