MilkyWay is a Cosmos-based layer-1 blockchain designed around two cornerstone features: Liquid Staking (LSD) and Restaking. These enable stakeholders to keep their staked assets fluid while also extending security to multiple off-chain or specialized on-chain services. Traditional proof-of-stake (PoS) networks require tokens to remain locked to support the base chain, preventing them from being used in other DeFi environments or bridging scenarios. By contrast, MilkyWay’s LSD model allows stakers to deposit tokens(such as TIA, BABY, or INIT) and receive LSD tokens (milkTIA, milkBABY, milkINIT). These LSD tokens can move freely across crosschain DeFi or bridging networks, ensuring users retain flexibility.
