What is Liquid Staking Governance Tokens?

Liquid staking governance tokens are the native assets of protocols that let users stake proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies, such as ETH or SOL, while receiving a tradable derivative token representing the staked position. Holding the governance token typically grants voting rights over protocol parameters, including validator selection, fee structures, and treasury allocation, and may entitle holders to a share of the fees the protocol earns on staked deposits. Examples include Lido's LDO and Rocket Pool's RPL, which are distinct from the liquid staking derivative tokens (like stETH or rETH) issued to depositors.

How CryptoUmmah screens Liquid Staking Governance Tokens coins

As with every category we track, coins here are screened individually against our 27-point methodology across the three core pillars — riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation/gambling) — rather than being judged by category label alone. Two coins sharing this tag can land on very different verdicts depending on their specific tokenomics, revenue model, and governance structure. Across the 20 Liquid Staking Governance Tokens coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 61.1/100, with 30% classified Halal, 45% Mashbooh, and 25% Haram.
