Could you elaborate on the concept of an LST token? I'm curious to understand its significance in the cryptocurrency and finance landscape. Specifically, how does it differ from other tokens, and what are its key features or use cases? Also, is it a widely recognized token within the industry, or is it more niche? Understanding its underlying technology and potential applications would be of great interest to me.

The value of LSTs fluctuates in tandem with the market value of the staked tokens, allowing stakers to maintain exposure to their original investment while enjoying the benefits of liquidity.
