View ChartLista DAO (LISTA) is an open-source, decentralized liquidity and lending protocol that primarily operates on BNB Chain (BSC) and Ethereum mainnet. It was founded in 2022 and was formerly known as Helio Protocol. The project positions itself as a Collateralized-debt Position (CDP) stablecoin protocol powered by Liquid Staking Decentralized Finance (LSDfi). Its core mission is to provide flexible lending solutions and innovative ways for users to monetize their existing crypto assets without selling them.
At the heart of the protocol is lisUSD, a decentralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar and fully over-collateralized by crypto assets such as BNB, ETH, slisBNB, and wBETH. Users can lock these assets as collateral to mint lisUSD, gaining liquidity while retaining exposure to their original holdings. The LISTA token serves as the governance and utility token of the ecosystem, with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens and a maximum supply of 800,000,000 tokens. The project is in an active growth phase, continuously expanding its product suite across multiple blockchains and integrating with various DeFi platforms.
Lista DAO was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in Singapore. The project was formerly known as Helio Protocol before rebranding. The founder is Toru Watanabe, and the co-founder is Terry Huang (Teng Rui Huang). Both founders reportedly bring experience from their tenure at Binance. The core team also includes Tyler Tsai as Senior Software Engineer, Wee Hian Mah as Community Manager, and Grigoriy Gorvat in Customer Support. The development team comprises experienced smart contract developers committed to positioning lisUSD as a widely adopted decentralized stablecoin. Detailed public information about the broader team structure and governance remains limited.
Lista DAO operates as a CDP stablecoin protocol. In Phase 1, lisUSD leverages the proven MakerDAO model for a decentralized and unbiased stablecoin product. The protocol was expected to transition into Liquity's code base in Phase 2 on both Ethereum and BSC in Q2 of 2024. Users can collateralize crypto assets such as BNB, ETH, slisBNB, and wBETH to borrow lisUSD. The protocol also offers staking and BNB liquid staking through its Synclub validator node. LISTA token holders can participate in governance, and those who lock their tokens as veLISTA gain voting rights on collateral types and liquidity pool emissions, as well as eligibility for revenue sharing. The protocol operates on both Ethereum mainnet and Binance Smart Chain with robust security mechanisms, and it supports staking options across blockchains including Tron, Cosmos, BNB Chain, and Polkadot.
Lista DAO distinguishes itself through its integration of liquid staking and decentralized lending into a single protocol. Its native yield-bearing liquid staking token, slisBNB, appreciates against BNB in line with BNB's staking APR, allowing users to earn additional yields on DeFi platforms while passively earning staking rewards. The protocol's destablecoin, lisUSD, enables users to access liquidity without liquidating their assets, featuring low fees and a range of trading utilities including liquidity provision, yield farming, and perp DEX trading. The project has received backing from Binance Labs through a $10 million funding round and is associated with Binance Launchpool and Binance Megadrop. Its open-source, permissionless nature and multi-chain strategy across BSC and Ethereum further enhance its value proposition within the DeFi landscape.
The LISTA token has multiple use cases within the ecosystem. It is used for governance, allowing holders to vote on protocol decisions. Users can earn LISTA tokens as rewards when they borrow lisUSD against collateral or participate in liquidity farming in lisUSD and slisBNB pools. By locking LISTA tokens as veLISTA, users can vote for collateral types used to mint lisUSD and for liquidity pools to receive higher emissions. veLISTA holders are also eligible for revenue sharing. Additionally, LISTA tokens can be staked to earn rewards, used to provide liquidity within DEXs and liquidity pools associated with Lista DAO, and utilized for transaction fees and accessing financial products. The protocol also supports borrowing lisUSD, staking through Synclub, and swapping via Lista DEX.
The Lista DAO ecosystem is actively expanding. Lista Lending has introduced new vaults on Ethereum, including an ETH Vault that accepts BTC collateral (wBTC-cbBTC LP) to borrow stablecoins and ETH LST collateral (wstETH, wbETH) to borrow WETH, with up to 96.5% LLTV. The Gauntlet x Lista DAO U Vault is designed to provide secure and sustainable yields through mainstream collateral markets and stable assets. Lista DEX is upgrading to StableSwap v3, with the upgrade officially starting September 19th. The protocol has integrated with OpenOcean to expand liquidity access and enhance swap pricing. Yield Mode launched on Four.meme on September 3, 2026. Over 72 bStocks are available, with new additions including STXB and SQQQB as collateral. The Flap NVDAB Vault rewards round distributed a total of 30.625 NVDAB in rewards to 16 eligible borrower addresses. Lista Lending UX upgrades include a utilization bar, mobile borrow/renew functionality, grouped and list views with rate and reward filters, and clear collateral and loan labels.
LISTA is not mined through traditional proof-of-work mechanisms. Instead, users can acquire and earn LISTA tokens through participation in the Lista DAO ecosystem. Borrowing lisUSD against collateral or engaging in liquidity farming in lisUSD and slisBNB pools can yield LISTA rewards. Staking LISTA tokens provides passive income and contributes to ecosystem security and stability. Users can also lock LISTA as veLISTA to participate in governance and qualify for revenue sharing. Additionally, BNB liquid staking through the Synclub validator node allows users to earn staking rewards. The protocol supports staking options across multiple blockchains, including Tron, Cosmos, BNB Chain, and Polkadot.
To keep LISTA tokens safe, use a reputable self-custody wallet that supports BEP20 and ERC20 tokens. Store your private keys or seed phrases offline and never share them with anyone. Enable two-factor authentication on any platform accounts associated with your holdings. Be cautious of phishing attempts and only interact with official Lista DAO channels, including the official website at lista.org and the verified X account @lista_dao. The protocol maintains robust security mechanisms, holds a CertiK rating of 4.6, and has audits in place. A bug bounty program is available via Immunefi. Users should also stay informed about protocol upgrades and governance decisions that may affect their assets, and consider diversifying holdings across multiple secure storage solutions.
