When you stake $STRK with zkLend, you’ll receive kSTRK, our LST
Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.
How zkLend LST's TVL is measured
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.
The TVL is calculated as a sum of total STRK deposited into zkLend's staking contract
If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.
zkLend LST codebase lineage and protocol family
zkLend LST is published as a versioned release inside the Zklend Finance 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.
