Bifrost Keeps Winning the Liquid Staking Game on #polkadot
Last December, I came across Polkadot’s official article introducing Bifrost. It’s been amazing to watch Bifrost’s journey — from early experiments on Ethereum to now becoming Polkadot’s go-to #LiquidStaking appchain.
As a user, I’m really proud of what #Bifrost has achieved up to now.
📈 Growth Snapshot
- 2024 Sep: $100M TVL, ~60% DOT LST share
- 2025 May: $66.6M TVL, vDOT up 22.7% MoM
- 2025 Jul: $98.3M TVL, vDOT hit $77M (+21.6% MoM)
- 2025 Aug: ~$90M TVL, grabbing 81% of Polkadot’s LST market
Clearly, Bifrost isn’t just surviving — it’s pulling ahead fast by dominating the #dot liquid staking market.
✨ Why People Care
- vDOT is not only liquid but also works in DeFi + OpenGov votes.
- Expansion in motion: SLPx & Hyperbridge bringing vDOT, vASTR, vGLMR, vBNC to AssetHub and L2s.
- vETH is live with 800+ ETH staked already.
🔮 Outlook
To me, Bifrost feels like the liquid staking hub Polkadot always needed. If vETH adoption keeps picking up, it could play a big role across both Polkadot and Ethereum ecosystems. I am really looking forward to it.
