# Introduction

With Haedal’s liquid staking infrastructure, users are able to stake their SUI tokens through Haedal to validators on Sui with one click to earn consensus rewards while keeping their liquidity active for various DeFi use cases.

Haedal allows all users to benefit from the blockchain validation with no need to run or maintain a validator by themselves. By simply staking through the smart contract, users can contribute to the consensus of the Sui Network. After staking SUI, users will receive haSUI in return, a liquid staking token as a staking receipt, which can be freely used in various DeFi scenarios to generate DeFi yields.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://haedal-protocol.gitbook.io/haedal-protocol-docs/haedal-liquid-staking/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
