# Liquid staking In contrast to staking, the liquid staking protocol allows users to: * easily earn blockchain validation rewards * stake smaller token amounts * maintain tokens liquidity * generate an extra return on the assets TON holders can deposit their tokens with the **bemo** application and receive bmTON tokens in return. These tokens are stored in the user's wallet and can be transferred, traded, or used for yield enhancement in decentralized finance. Users no longer have to choose between staking rewards and alternative DeFi opportunities. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
