More about these tokens
Arbitrum (ARB)
Arbitrum is a rollup chain designed to support Ethereum scalability by bundling multiple transactions, thereby reducing the Ethereum network load. Arbitrum’s native token, ARB, can be used to pay transaction fees on the Arbitrum network and provides holders with governance rights with ARB holders able to propose and vote on protocol upgrades or changes.
Stargate (STG)
Stargate is a cross-chain bridge protocol that facilitates native asset transfers between blockchain networks. The platform simplifies these types of swaps by reducing the steps required to complete a cross-blockchain transfer. STG is Stargate’s governance token and can be used for staking.
Lido Staked ETH (stETH)
Lido Staked ETH is a liquid staking solution that allows users to stake their ether (ETH) and receive stETH, which can then be used across the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. One stETH token represents one ETH token staked on Lido, and its value combines the value of initial ETH deposit with earned staking rewards. stETH tokens are minted when a user deposits ETH and are burned when the ETH is redeemed.
Wrapped ETH (wETH)
Wrapped ETH is a tokenized version of ether (ETH) that allows users to interact with a variety of Ethereum decentralized applications (dApps). wETH is an ERC-20 token making it interoperable with other ERC-20 tokens. wETH can be used to stake, yield farm, lend, and provide liquidity to various liquidity pools. Unlike ETH, wETH can be used on alternative blockchain networks like Binance, Polygon, Solana, and Cardano. The price of wETH is equal to ETH as it maintains a 1:1 wrapping ratio.
Helium (HNT)
Helium is a blockchain-based, decentralized wireless network. It is built on what is known as Proof of Coverage. The Helium network provides wireless connectivity by routing data through Helium Hotspots to internet-connected devices that use Helium's LongFi protocol. HNT, Helium’s native token, is used to 1) reward Helium Hotspot operators, and 2) to create Data Credits (DCs) which can be produced by burning HNT. Data Credits pay for transaction fees on the Helium network.
