I recently started diving deep into the PoSL (Proof of Staked Liquidity) model being developed by Bedrock, and at first, I didn't think much of it. It all seems straightforward: you stake an asset, receive a liquid token like uniBTC, continue participating in DeFi, and at the same time, you're earning from staking and restaking. It’s like renting out an apartment while still using its value as collateral for other trades.
But this is where the tension arises — reality doesn’t quite match this picture. If you break down the mechanics, it’s clear that everything hinges on the demand for liquid derivative assets and how effectively the ecosystem can create useful applications for them. Without this, the extra yield quickly loses its appeal.
And the key point is that liquidity itself becomes a source of rewards. This enhances capital efficiency, but at the same time, it weakens the transparency of risks for Bedrock. It’s reminiscent of airline reward miles: as long as the system is growing, everything works great, but over time it becomes increasingly difficult to understand the real value of each reward tier.
