Kintsu | Next-Gen Composable Liquid Staking on Monad

# Kintsu — Composable Liquid Staking on Monad & Hyperliquid > Kintsu is a composable liquid staking protocol on Monad and Hyperliquid. Users stake gas tokens (MON or HYPE), receive liquid staking tokens (sMON or sHYPE), and use those LSTs across 60+ DeFi integrations — all while earning staking yield and MEV rewards. Governed by an onchain representative democracy with the KSU governance token. Audited by Spearbit and Nethermind. Built by Water Cooler Studios. - Stake MON → receive sMON (ERC-20 liquid staking token). sMON is reward-bearing: balance stays fixed, but each sMON appreciates in MON value as staking rewards compound. - Stake HYPE → receive sHYPE on Hyperliquid. Same reward-bearing mechanism. - superMON is a curated DeFi yield vault on Monad, managed by top high-frequency traders. - KSU is the governance token controlling validator delegation weights and DAO evolution. - 60+ ecosystem partners across DEXes, lending, restaking, perpetuals, and gaming. ## Product Pages - [Home](https://kintsu.xyz/): Landing page and product overview - [Stake MON](https://kintsu.xyz/staking): Stake MON, receive sMON on Monad - [Unstake](https://kintsu.xyz/unstaking): Unstake sMON and redeem MON - [Earn](https://kintsu.xyz/earn): Earn yield with liquid staking vaults - [superMON Vault](https://kintsu.xyz/earn/supermon): Curated DeFi yield vault on Monad - [Swap](https://kintsu.xyz/swap): Cross-chain token swap - [Points](https://kintsu.xyz/points): Earn points, compete on leaderboards, referral rewards - [DAO](https://kintsu.xyz/dao): Governance proposals, validator registry, and NFTs - [Ecosystem](https://kintsu.xyz/ecosystem): 60+ ecosystem partners and integrations - [Explore](https://kintsu.xyz/explore): Quests and ecosystem discovery - [Analytics](https://kintsu.xyz/analytics): Protocol analytics and TVL data - [Blog](https://kintsu.xyz/blog): Articles and updates ## Public APIs - [APY History API](https://kintsu.xyz/api/public/apy): GET — historical APY d
