About Veno Finance
Veno Finance is a simple and secure liquid staking platform that empowers users to stake CRO, ATOM, ETH, and TIA while maintaining full liquidity and earning the highest available DeFi rewards.
Our Mission
Veno Finance was built with a single clear purpose: to make blockchain staking simple, accessible, and rewarding for everyone. We believe that staking should not mean locking up your assets indefinitely. With Veno Finance, users stake their tokens and immediately receive liquid tokens — LCRO, LATOM, LETH, or LTIA — which can be freely used across the broader DeFi ecosystem.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between staking rewards and DeFi liquidity, enabling users to earn staking yields while still participating in lending, liquidity provision, and other protocols simultaneously.
Key Platform Statistics
Our Values
Security First
Every protocol feature is audited by top blockchain security firms, ensuring your funds are safe at all times.
Endless Liquidity
Liquid tokens unlock your staked value immediately — stake and still participate freely in DeFi.
Maximum Rewards
We optimise validator selection and integrate with ecosystem partners to deliver the best possible APY.
Community Alignment
The VNO token ensures our community shares in the protocol's success through real yield and governance.
How Veno Finance Works
The Veno Finance protocol operates across multiple blockchain networks including Cronos POS, CosmosHub, Ethereum (via zkSync Era), and Celestia. The process is straightforward:
- Users deposit their tokens (CRO, ATOM, ETH, or TIA) into the Veno Finance staking contract.
- The protocol issues liquid tokens at the current exchange rate — LCRO, LATOM, LETH, or LTIA respectively.
- Staked assets are delegated to professional validators selected for their reliability and performance.
- Rewards accrue continuously and are reflected in the increasing exchange rate of liquid tokens.
- Users can use their liquid tokens across partner DeFi protocols such as VVS Finance, Ferro, Tectonic, and others to earn additional yield on top of staking rewards.
- When users wish to unstake, they return their liquid tokens and receive a claimable NFT representing the unbonding position, redeemable after the standard unbonding period.
Technology & Infrastructure
Veno Finance is built on enterprise-grade staking infrastructure, designed to maximise validator uptime and minimise slashing risk. Our smart contracts are carefully engineered for gas efficiency and transparency.
- Multi-chain architecture: Veno Finance operates natively on Cronos EVM, with cross-chain connectivity to Cosmos Hub, Ethereum mainnet (via zkSync Era), and Celestia.
- Liquid token standard: LCRO, LATOM, LETH, and LTIA are standard ERC-20 tokens, composable with any DeFi protocol on supported networks.
- NFT-based unstaking: Unbonding positions are represented as ERC-721 NFTs, making them transferable and tradeable while the unbonding period is active.
- VNO Protocol Token: The VNO token enables holders to earn real yield from protocol fees, participate in the Fountain for additional rewards, and boost liquidity mining allocations via the Veno Garden.
- Open codebase: Our contracts are verified on-chain and documentation is publicly available for community review at all times.
