### 🚀 How It Works

The widget provides an effortless way for users to stake assets and receive LSTs in return.

* Select a Staking Option – Widget implementors choose which asset to stake.
* Enter Amount – They input the amount to stake.
* Mint LSTs – The widget provides a serialized transaction built with [The Vault API](https://github.com/SolanaVault/lst-minter-widget).
* Receive Confirmation – Users get real-time feedback on their minted tokens.

All the transaction building happens in the background, which minimizes dependencies required in your application.
