Is Endur Safe?
Risk Grade: B (26/100)
Endur is rated as moderate risk — some novel mechanisms, generally well-understood.
Moderate risk — the monopoly LST provider on Starknet with clean architecture, but single-provider dependency and staking infrastructure evolution create concentration and transition risks.
Endur is the only liquid staking protocol on Starknet, letting users stake STRK tokens and receive xSTRK — a liquid token that earns staking rewards while remaining usable across Starknet DeFi. With $14M in TVL and a points-based airdrop campaign, it dominates Starknet's LST market. The B risk grade reflects its clean track record and standard LST architecture, balanced against monopoly provider risk and Starknet staking infrastructure immaturity.

Key Risks for Endur Users
Endur is the only liquid staking option on Starknet — if the protocol has a bug or operational issue, there is no alternative provider to fall back to for your staked STRK
Starknet's staking system is still evolving through V2 upgrades — changes to how validators work or earn rewards could temporarily disrupt xSTRK's reward accrual
Points farming has attracted capital that may leave after any token airdrop — if many depositors exit at once, xSTRK could temporarily trade below its fair value on DEXs
Top Risk Factors
- •Only liquid staking provider on Starknet — single-provider dominance creates centralization risk for the entire Starknet staking ecosystem with no competitive alternatives
- •Starknet staking infrastructure is still maturing through V2 upgrades — changes to validator responsibilities and economic models introduce transition risk for delegated stake
- •xSTRK liquidity depends on Starknet DeFi ecosystem depth, which remains limited compared to Ethereum or Solana liquid staking markets
