According to Cas Abbé on Twitter, $STO offers key functionalities for DeFi projects, including boosted yield opportunities, emissions governance, and treasury control through veSTO-based bribes (Source: @cas_abbe, May 3, 2025). These features provide DeFi protocols with enhanced control over reward distribution and protocol incentives. Integrating StakeStone and $STO is positioned as essential for staying competitive in DeFi market infrastructure. Trading strategies should consider $STO's core role in protocol governance and incentive mechanisms.

According to EmberCN, StakeStone has introduced a new LiquidityPad in collaboration with GOATRollup, featuring a pre-deposit event. This marks the first deposit pool to benefit from veSTO enhanced rewards, coinciding with the upcoming TGE of StakeStone's governance token, STO. Depositing $BTC or $DOGE on the BSC chain into the pre-deposit pool allows users to earn triple rewards in BTC, STO, and GOAT points, with a combined APY exceeding 20%.
