# Liquid Staking
|
||
|
||
This page is about liquid staking of veOCEAN using psdnOCEAN.
|
||
|
||
### Background & Motivation
|
||
|
||
Once you lock OCEAN, you get veOCEAN.
|
||
|
||
Unlike OCEAN, veOCEAN cannot be traded or transferred. This is by design, to reconcile near-term and long-term incentives. Commit to holding OCEAN longer, and you earn more in the near term.
|
||
|
||
But what if there _was_ a way to have lots of locked OCEAN, yet get tradeability? That's the idea of "liquid staking". In many ways, it's the best of both worlds.
|
||
|
||
### Liquid Staking in Ocean
|
||
|
||
**psdnOCEAN is a "liquid staking wrapper" for veOCEAN:**
|
||
- It holds veOCEAN
|
||
- And it allows transfers (using ERC20 interface)
|
||
|
||
psdnOCEAN is a product by [H2O](https://www.h2odata.xyz//), a team separate from - and collaborating with - the Ocean core team.
|
||
|
||
While you can't trade veOCEAN, **you can trade psdnOCEAN.**
|
||
|
||
### How to get OCEAN -> psdnOCEAN
|
||
|
||
You can lock OCEAN for psdnOCEAN via [the H2O "convert" dapp](https://liquid-staking.h2odata.xyz/convert/ocean).
|
||
|
||
|
||
### How to get psdnOCEAN -> OCEAN
|
||
|
||
psdnOCEAN can be traded in exchanges, for both psdnOCEAN -> OCEAN, and vice versa.
|
||
|
||
The main exchange option is the [OCEAN-psdnOCEAN Balancer pool](https://app.balancer.fi/#/ethereum/swap?outputCurrency=0x51Fa2efd62ee56a493f24AE963eAce7D0051929E).
|
||
- [Here are pool details.](https://app.balancer.fi/#/ethereum/pool/0xf8c4cd95c7496cb7c8d97202cf7e5b8da2204c2b00020000000000000000039e).
|
||
|
||
⚠️Be careful - if liquidity is low you will experience high slippage.
|
||
|
||
### Rewards to psdnOCEAN holders
|
||
|
||
Since psdnOCEAN holds veOCEAN, then Passive DF rewards go to that psdnOCEAN-held veOCEAN according to the usual Passive DF rules.
|
||
|
||
Over time, psdnOCEAN may also get rewards from other DF streams or protocols too.
