Dinero Protocol

Dinero Protocol is a comprehensive suite of DeFi infrastructure products that scale yield for blockchains, users, and institutions across Ethereum and Solana ecosystems. Founded in 2021 and acquired by Plume Network in October 2025, Dinero has established itself as a leading provider of liquid staking and restaking solutions.

Core Products and Services

Dinero operates three primary product lines:

pxETH Liquid Restaking Token (LRT)

pxETH is Ethereum's fastest-growing liquid restaking solution, utilizing a proven two-token model that has attracted over $200M in total value locked. The system allows users to earn both ETH staking yield from Dinero's validator infrastructure and restaking yield from EigenCloud integration. The two-token architecture consists of pxETH (maintaining 1:1 peg with ETH for DeFi utility) and apxETH (auto-compounding vault token earning boosted staking rewards). With integrations across 42+ DeFi protocols including Curve, Balancer, Pendle, Morpho, and Aura, pxETH delivers industry-leading yields while maintaining deep liquidity across Ethereum mainnet and multiple L2 networks.

pxSOL Liquid Staking Token (LST)

Launched in August 2025, pxSOL brings the same successful two-token architecture to the Solana ecosystem. Built using Galaxy's validator infrastructure, pxSOL offers high-yield liquid staking for SOL holders with flexible withdrawal options including instant liquidity via DeFi, instant withdrawal from SOL buffer, or standard epoch-based withdrawal. The dual-token model allows users to hold pxSOL for DeFi composability or stake it into apxSOL for boosted staking yields.

Branded LST Infrastructure

Dinero provides white-label liquid staking infrastructure for Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, enabling ecosystems to launch their own branded ETH LSTs powered by Dinero's proven technology. This B2B offering has been adopted by leading blockchain networks including Berachain (beraETH), Arbitrum Orbit (orbETH), ZKsync (zkETH), Optimism Superchain (superETH), Ink by Kraken (iETH), Sei (seiyanETH), Flare (flrETH), and Plume (pETH). Each branded LST allows L1/L2 users to earn Ethereum staking yield without leaving their native ecosystem.

Institutional Staking (ipxETH)

ipxETH provides accredited institutional clients with compliant access to Ethereum's highest-yielding restaking product through traditional asset management rails. Built on pxETH's infrastructure, ipxETH operates within a regulatory framework meeting traditional finance standards, delivering enhanced carry strategies with over $25M TVL from institutional participants. The product enables institutions to earn above-market ETH staking yield through Dinero's dual-tranche model and validator infrastructure.
