# Kintsu

> sMON liquid staking with validator delegation on Monad

<Info>
  **Type:** Liquid Staking | **Token:** sMON | **Docs:** [kintsu.xyz](https://kintsu.xyz)
</Info>

## Overview

Kintsu issues **sMON** by distributing stake across a decentralized set of validators. The sMON exchange rate grows as staking rewards accrue. Kintsu emphasises validator diversity and slashing protection.

## Functions

### getKintsuLST()

Returns the full `LSTStats` snapshot for sMON.

```typescript theme={null}
import { Rampart } from 'rampart-monad'

const sdk = new Rampart()
const lst = await sdk.getKintsuLST()

console.log(`sMON APR: ${(lst.apr * 100).toFixed(2)}%`)
console.log(`Exchange rate: 1 sMON = ${lst.exchangeRate} MON`)
```

### getKintsuExchangeRate()

Returns the current sMON/MON exchange rate.

```typescript theme={null}
const rate = await sdk.getKintsuExchangeRate()
// → number, e.g. 1.057
```

### getKintsuTVL()

Returns total MON deposited, denominated in USD.

```typescript theme={null}
const tvl = await sdk.getKintsuTVL()
// → number (USD)
```
