Cosmos Liquid Staking Protocol

QuickSilver is a liquid staking protocol built for the Cosmos ecosystem, allowing users to stake their assets while maintaining liquidity through liquid staking tokens (qASSETs). The platform enables users to continue earning staking rewards while participating in DeFi activities such as swapping, lending, liquidity provisioning, and governance.
