Hydro LST FAQs

What is Hydro LST?

Hydro LST is Hydro Protocol’s liquid-staking product on Injective. Its documentation also describes auto-compounding and a leveraged yield feature called Hydro Loop Stake.

What fees does Hydro LST charge?

Hydro Protocol has not published fee details in the information available for this review. Check the app’s transaction and staking screens before confirming anything; network and transaction costs may also apply.

Is Hydro LST audited and safe?

Two audits are listed, but their names, scope and findings are not specified here. That is not enough to assess the contracts’ security; look for the full audit reports and understand the risks of liquid staking and leveraged strategies before using them.
