In contrast, LKSM, Karura's liquid staking product, allows users to access their staked KSM liquidity. What this means is that users don't have to unstake and sell their KSM to access liquidity. Instead, users can mint LKSM, borrow against that LKSM to generate kUSD all while keeping their KSM and continuing to earn staking rewards. Similarly, users can contribute LKSM to liquidity pools to earn trading fees in addition to their staking rewards.
