# What does StaQ resolve?

### Problem

Currently, lots of Bitcoin L2 are introduced as Proof-Of-Stake network. Staking with those networks provides a predictable return on investment, it does limit the liquidity of one's assets and restricts participation in other potentially profitable opportunities within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem or on cryptocurrency exchanges.

### Solution

StaQ introduces multiple aspects on resolving the exsiting liquid staking issues:

* **Unified Staking Pool**. it helps to manage users deposits, withdrawals and reward claiming. It makes the tedious POS staking process much more easier with simple functions. Together with a clean frontend UIUX, users can join the liquid staking process without understanding the logic behind
* **'st'Tokens.** Unlike staked tokens, the StaQ 'st' Tokens are freely transferable instead of locked as in the case of native staking. StaQ lets users operate with staked tokens by leveraging collateral, lending, farming, and other kinds of DeFi protocols.
* **Steady Node Operators.** StaQ manages an secure and steady infrastructure for deploying and running validator nodes on different network. Nodes operated by StaQ has the top-level performance which is impossible to get slashed.
* **Interoperability of 'st' Tokens.**The staking tokens of different mainnets cannot be transferred between each other. StaQ uses the Bitcoin Layer 2 interoperability gateway, MAP Protocol, to enable the staking tokens of various Bitcoin Layer 2 mainnets to achieve liquidity interchange.
