Endur
Moderate risk — the monopoly LST provider on Starknet with clean architecture, but single-provider dependency and staking infrastructure evolution create concentration and transition risks.
Top Risks
1
Only liquid staking provider on Starknet — single-provider dominance creates centralization risk for the entire Starknet staking ecosystem with no competitive alternatives
2
Starknet staking infrastructure is still maturing through V2 upgrades — changes to validator responsibilities and economic models introduce transition risk for delegated stake
3
xSTRK liquidity depends on Starknet DeFi ecosystem depth, which remains limited compared to Ethereum or Solana liquid staking markets
Risk Breakdown
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Endur safe to use?
Endur receives a B risk grade (26/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. 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.
What are the main risks of using Endur?
The key risks identified for Endur are: (1) 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 (2) 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 (3) 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
