# zGND

Staking xGND has been and will continue to earn AMAZING real-yield ETH Revenue for GND Protocol’s investors. However, one pain point that we have identified from our staking mechanism is that we only allow our locked token — xGND — to be staked to earn the ETH yield.

This limitation has been a concern for many investors who desire more flexibility in yield-earning on top of GND Protocol. In response to this issue, the innovative zGND protocol emerges as a liquid staking option for the GND ecosystem — **zGND**
