What is LISTA DAO?

LISTA DAO is a DeFi (decentralized finance) protocol that enables users to generate liquidity by using crypto assets as collateral. The platform provides collateralized lending, liquidity mining, and two token models: lisUSD and LISTA. Users can earn without sacrificing liquidity by staking assets like Ethereum or BNB. The LISTA token serves as the main utility token for governance and incentives on the platform.
