Staking and restaking: 47 Compared and Scored (2026)

Liquid staking tokens, restaking, and yield bearing derivatives of staked assets. Ranked by a score out of 100 covering track record, tokenomics, transparency, decentralisation, adoption and liquidity. Comparing assets that do the same job is the only comparison that means anything, which is what this page is for.

MSP Score /100:85+ Excellent70 to 84 Very good55 to 69 Fair<55 Caution

How the token score works: each is rated out of 100 across track record (20), tokenomics (20), transparency (15), decentralisation (15), adoption (15), liquidity (15). Higher is better. These are the same six questions the Academy research process teaches. Every score is broken down on the token's own page.

There are no prices or market caps here, deliberately. Those numbers are stale within hours of being written, and a directory full of stale numbers is worse than one without them. What is recorded instead is structural and durable: what the thing actually does, how its supply behaves, who can change it, whether the token captures any revenue, and what has happened to it. For live prices use an exchange or a data aggregator.

RISK WARNING Crypto assets are highly volatile and largely unregulated. You can lose everything you put in. Nothing on this page is financial, investment or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any asset. Do your own research and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
