$BTC #Binance55thProject(IO) Lista DAO (Helio Protocol) Review

Lista DAO, previously known as Helio protocol, is a BNB liquid staking protocol and decentralized stablecoin, which allows users to earn yield from BNB staking in exchange for the slisBNB token. The slisBNB token is a liquid staking token of the Lista DAO protocol, which can be used in other DeFi LPs across the BNB chain network to earn additional APR, as well as may be used as collateral for lending lisUSD, Lista’s decentralized stablecoin.

The minting mechanism of the Lista stablecoin is quite similar to that of MakerDAO’s, but unlike the MakerDAO platform, Lista protocol enables depositing collaterals in the form of LSTs such as slisBNB, WBETH, ezETH, and others. This provides the BNB chain with an additional level of liquidity while adding more features to the BNB network’s liquid staking tokens.

After the merge of Helio Money and Synclub on February 6th, 2024, the platform rebranded itself into the List DAO.

🪙$LISTA token: The entire liquid staking protocol is powered by the governance token $LISTA. Its main role is enabling users to vote on various governance proposals and granting weight to each community member's vote, which directly depends on the amount of tokens staked on the platform.

On May 23rd, 2024, the project announced plans to release the $LISTA token along with the start of the Binance Megadrop campaign, which will last until the TGE and listing of $LISTA on Binance.
