Lair Finance (LAIR) Price

What Is Lair Finance (LAIR) and How Does It Work?

Lair Finance is a cross-chain liquid restaking platform that enhances yields by allowing users to restake assets across multiple blockchain ecosystems, including Kaia and Berachain. Its core innovation lies in creating restaked tokens like rstKAIA, which are minted by staking the native token LAIR alongside staked assets (e.g., stKAIA). These restaked tokens can be used in DeFi strategies or held to earn higher rewards, making capital more efficient.

The protocol’s native token, $LAIR, powers governance, incentivizes liquidity, and is integral to minting restaked derivatives. Lair Finance is designed to boost staking yields through a modular and scalable framework while maintaining decentralization. The platform also supports a gamified ecosystem through campaigns like LLITE, a LINE mini-app that rewards users for participation and staking.

When Was Lair Finance Launched?

Lair began life as a pre‑farming initiative, focusing on liquidity restaking on Kaia chain. Users could mint rstKAIA by restaking popular LSTs like stKAIA, sKLAY, gcKLAY, and stKLAY, which marked its initial existence. Although specific founder names aren’t widely publicized, Lair’s announcements highlight a dedicated core team leading protocol deployment, DAO governance, and yield strategy design. Upcoming decentralization efforts suggest an experienced mix of DeFi builders and community contributors. In October 2024, Lair onboarded Everstake and Jump Crypto as official validator partners, enhancing network security and decentralization.

How to Stake (Restake) LAIR Tokens on Lair Finance

Staking LAIR tokens on Lair Finance allows you to mint high-yield restaked assets like rstKAIA by pairing LAIR with supported liquid staking tokens (LSTs), unlocking enhanced rewards across the ecosystem.

1. Go to the restake page: Visit the Lair Finance restaking interface at app.lair.fi/restake.

2. Select a supported LST vault: Choose from available liquid staking tokens such as stKAIA, sKLAY, gcKLAY, or stKLAY. Each vault may have a cap, so check availability.

3. Input amount and pair with LAIR: Enter the amount of LST you want to restake. You'll also need to stake an equal amount of LAIR tokens to mint restaked tokens like rstKAIA.

4. Approve transactions in your wallet: Use your wallet (e.g., KaiaWallet, MetaMask) to approve both the LST and LAIR for smart contract interaction.

5. Confirm the restake transaction: Finalize the transaction on-chain. Your wallet will be credited with the newly minted restaked token (e.g., rstKAIA).

6. Earn boosted yield: Hold the restaked token to earn enhanced staking rewards, which combine base staking yield with Lair's protocol incentives.

7. Unstake & Claim: Select your restaked token, confirm the transaction, and reclaim both your LAIR and LST, plus any accrued rewards.

What Is Lair Finance's LLITE Mini-Game?

LLITE is a gamified mini-app developed by Lair Finance and accessible via the LINE messenger. In this casual tap-to-earn game, players can collect LTickets, randomly earning 1 to 5 tickets every six hours, and accumulate LPoints. Users who hold staked KAIA in their wallet receive a 10x boost on LTicket earnings, significantly enhancing their rewards.

Both LTickets and LPoints are redeemable for incentives within the Lair ecosystem, such as protocol tokens and seasonal campaign perks. By combining simple gameplay with real DeFi utility, LLITE serves as an engaging entry point for newcomers while encouraging ongoing participation from experienced users.

What Blockchain Network(s) Does Lair Finance Operate on?

Lair Finance initially launched on Kaiachain, where it pioneered decentralized liquid restaking through its rstKAIA token, and has since expanded to Berachain, enabling restaking via its LrBGT product. Both chains are EVM-compatible Layer 1 networks, Kaiachain, formed from Klaytn and Finschia and deeply integrated with LINE’s mini-app ecosystem, and Berachain, a Proof-of-Liquidity chain, showcasing Lair’s cross-chain architecture designed for seamless value flow and multi-chain restaking utility.

What Wallets Support LAIR Tokens?

You can securely store your purchased LAIR tokens directly in your BingX spot wallet once you've executed trades via the LAIR/USDT pair. This allows seamless trading and storage within the same platform, with real-time access anytime.

Trust Wallet (both mobile and browser extension) supports LAIR tokens due to its compatibility with EVM-based networks like Kaiachain. In addition, any Ethereum-compatible Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask or KaiaWallet, can securely store, receive, and interact with LAIR tokens, as long as it supports the Kaiachain or Berachain networks where Lair Finance operates.

Is Lair Finance (LAIR) a Good Investment?

First, it’s at the forefront of the liquid restaking sector, offering users the ability to stake assets like KAIA while retaining liquidity through tokens such as rstKAIA and LrBGT. By requiring paired staking of LAIR and LST assets, the protocol aligns incentives and limits token dumping, supporting stronger token value support as Total Value Locked (TVL) grows. Moreover, Lair is already a dominant player on Kaiachain, holding approximately 70% of its TVL, with expansion underway on Berachain via the PoL-based LrBGT, laying a solid foundation for future ecosystem growth.

Second, Lair combines yield mechanics with vibrant onchain gamification and innovation. Through features like its LINE-integrated LLITE mini-app, Active Vault System (AVS), and LaunchPod, Lair engages users across DeFi, GameFi, and community-driven investments, driving continuous user activity, protocol adoption, and token utility. Additionally, it benefits from strong backing: reputable partners (Kakao Ventures, KookMin Bank, Bughole) and a seasoned team with roots in fintech, gaming, and blockchain, factors that enhance its credibility and long-term potential.
