MilkyWay Liquid Staking

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

TVL counts the tokens that are locked in the Milky Way liquid staking protocol

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

MilkyWay Liquid Staking is published as a versioned release inside the Milkyway Protocol protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

MilkyWay Liquid Staking is a Liquid Staking protocol that issues liquid receipt tokens against staked deposits, so users earn validator rewards without locking up the underlying asset. It is deployed across 3 chains, including Milkyway, Osmosis, MilkyWay Rollup. The codebase has been independently audited (2 reports on file).

MilkyWay Liquid Staking operates on 3 networks (Milkyway, Osmosis, MilkyWay Rollup), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Milkyway, Osmosis, MilkyWay Rollup), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Two audit reports are published on DeFiLlama, which is in line with typical practice for protocols at this scale.
